The red rooster

From 1902 onwards, Wohlerst burned 27 times; nothing is known of previous fires. Eleven of these fires are the work of a former firefighter who worked for the farmer Kackmann. He was convicted of arson . He bought a peaked cap from the master tailor Junge shortly before he went to prison . He wrote to him from prison in 1966:

" Dear Mr. Junge, I found out that you got my fire brigade cap from Mr. Kackmann in Wohlerstech. In my opinion, you have no right to the cap, because I paid him the cap at the price of 15.50 DM . I ask for my cap or my money to be sent here. If you don't do that, I am forced to file a charge against him for fraud. If my cap or the money is binding for 8 days here in Stade / Elbe Am Wilhadikrichhoh 1 I am filing a charge against him for fraud. "
