Quedlinburg treasures

Christian Mechel, graduate engineer and entrepreneur in Quedlinburg (left), grandson of a native Schrader, has handed over extensive documents relating to the Schrader-Quedlinburg clan to the chairman of the family association, Harald Schrader, for the association’s archive.

Harald Schrader from Quedlinburg returned to Schleswig-Holstein with two well-filled moving boxes.

The chairman of the family association received materials on the history of the Schrader family of doctors.

For around 150 years, from the early 19th to the mid-20th century, the descendants of district physician Dr Andreas Ludwig Schrader (1781–1858) played a prominent role in the town.

With his great-grandson Dr Wilhelm Schrader (1882–1957), the last Schrader of this clan left Quedlinburg in 1955.

The documents, which consist mainly of letters, certificates, documents and photos, reflect the life of the renowned Quedlinburg medical family over several generations.
