Adolphsdorfer Torfschiffer

Adolphsdorfian Turf Boat Skipper.

It was not only a great view from the boat - it was also an interesting trip. The skipper told us a lot about the Devil's Moor as well as the living conditions of the turf boat skippers who lived in the moor villages. It must have been such a hard life for people at that time! Therefore the saying:
„Den Eersten sien Dood, den Tweeten sien Noot, den Drüdden sien Broot“.
"The first one's death, the second one's plight, the third one's bread."
