Estate of Werner GrumpeltIn Altenburg, the colonial goods store C was founded in 1838. (Carl) J. (Julius) Grumpelt founded. It was located at Pauritzer Platz 4. In 1900 Karl Heinrich Grumpelt (1870-1935) took over the business and continued it until 1929. His son Werner Grumpelt (1909-1949, teacher and author), who also lived in Altenburg, was very interested in many things - including (global) history. He wrote two books about colonisation and life in Africa: "Im Herzen von Deutsch-Südwest. Erlebnisse des deutschen Reiters Albin Freier]" as well as "Einer aus Deutschland" (A story about the life of his great uncle Carl Albert Grumpelt). It can be assumed that both books are primarily novels, but also describe actual experiences.Karl Heinrich GrumpeltBirth date: 09.02.1870 in AltenburgSterbedatum: 07.03.1935 in AltenburgFather: Karl Heinrich Grumpelt Grandfather: Carl Julius GrumpeltCarl Albert GrumpeltResidence: Barkly West, Northern Cape, South AfricaBirth date: 24.12.1837 in Altenburg (christening: 07.01.)1938)Marriage: 29.04.1897 in Barkly West Deceased: 1920 Barkley West, South AfricaFather: Carl Julius GrumpeltProfession: Pharmacist Emigration to Africa after 1866 (at this time still employed as a pharmacist in Altenburg), witnessed Boer wars Protagonist in the novel by W.
