Mappy Monday- Drievorden, Germany

One of my 7th great-grandfather on my fathers side was Gerhard Jeckering. He was born in 1673 and died in 1735 in Drievorden, Germany. This destination is definitely at the top of my bucket list! 

Drievorden, Germany

Drievorden is a small town that lies between Emsburen and Schuttorf in Lower Saxony Germany. Since 1974, it has since been incorporated into the municipality of Engden. 
The name Drievorden is derived from the number three & "small house", "apartment", etc. I've looked this up on Wikipedia- it's all a bit confusing the way they have it worded.

Drievorden is predominantly Catholic and is known for it's active agricultural landscaping and a large annual event for the St. Hubertus shooting club which takes place in the restored old school house. 


There doesn't seem to be a whole lot in the area- I couldn't even find a church or school picture online. Hotels in the area- you would have to stay in Bad Bentheim or Emsburen.
