Story Description
Paul Köbrich war Zahnarzt in Kassel,er war verheiratet mit Rose Virchow, einer Enkelin von dem bekannten Arzt Rudolf Virchow. Sie hatten 3 Kinder. Originalbericht in der Ortskirchenchronik Waldkappel von seinem Vater dem Pfarrer u. Metropolitan Friedrich Köbrich: Im Herbst v. J. wurde Paul als felddiensttauglich ausgehoben und an die Düna (Baltikum)geschickt, hat dort den kalten Winter durchgemacht und sich ausgezeichnet. Er ist mit 9 anderen Unteroffizieren nach dem Westen geschickt und dem Res. Inf.Reg.16 zugeteilt worden. Am 1. April zum Vizefeldwebel befördert, ist er mit dem Eisernen Kreuz II. Klasse ausgezeichnet worden. Von Arras, wo er in heißen Kämpfen gestanden, als Leutnant der Reserve (Kabin, Sedan vom 24. Juni) auf Urlaub gekommen und macht mit Frau und Kindern gegenwärtig im Elternhaus, sogar mit seinem Bruder Georg, der um mit seinem Bruder Paul nach so langer Trennung wieder einmal zusammen sein zu können, sich hat einige Tage beurlauben lassen. Ja, er wollte kommen, wie per Draht er angekündigt hatte. Da erreicht ihn in Saarbrücken auf der Reise ein Telegramm, das ihm meldet, dass 2 Leutnants, die besten seiner Fliegertuppe im Luftkampf gefallen seien. (Georg Köbrich war Hauptmann bei der Fliegereinheit) Deshalb ist er zurückgeeilt und ein Zusammentreffen der beiden Brüder war zunichte geworden. Als Vizefeldwebel kehrte Paul am 5. July an die Front zurück. Von dort liefen dann beruhigende Briefe von ihm ein. Es geht mir gut schrieb er wiederholt. War er doch als Beobachtungsoffizier dem III.Bat.Stab d. Res. Inf.Rg.10 zugeteilt und wähnte er sich auch relativ geurteilt sicher und mit ihm wir. Da kommt wie der Blitz aus heiterem Himmel ein Brief von dem Bat.Kommandeut vom 19. August in Kassel, in dem er mitteilt:Am 15. August ist ihr Mann durch eine Granate den Heldentod gestorben Meinem Sohn Georg, dem ich sofort per Draht dies mitgeteilt, ist es mit vielen und schweren Hindernissen gelungen, den verweslichen Teil seines Bruders, der schon beerdigt war, (Bild v. 1. Grab wird beigefügt) in die Heimat zu befördern. Am Mitwochmorgen, den 29. August lief seine Leiche hier ein, wurde vom 29. auf den 30. im Elternhaus und vom 30. auf 31. in der Kirche aufgebahrt, von wo sie am Freitag den 31. August vom hiesigen Kriegerverein, unter militärischen Ehren seitens einer Eskorte und einer Militär-Kapelle zum Friedhof getragen wurde. geschrieben am 29.9.1917 vom Vater Friedrich Köbrich) (Auf dem Friedhof von Waldkappel ist ein Gedenkstein von Paul Köbrichs Grab.)

On the way to Saarbrücken, he received a telegram telling him that 2 lieutenants, the best in his air force, had died in a dogfight. (Georg Köbrich was a captain in the air force) That's why he hurried back and a meeting between the two brothers was ruined.

If the item has no text to transcribe, tick the checkbox ‘No Text’.
Once you have finished your transcription, click SAVE.
Step 2: Description
You can add a description to the item underneath the Transcription section.
The first task is to identify what type of document the item is: a handwritten or printed document, a postcard, photo, drawing and/or part of a diary. Tick the category which best applies to the item. Multiple categories can be selected at once.
The second task is to write a description of the contents. Click inside the box underneath the heading DESCRIPTION. Here, you can write what the item is, what it is about, and specify the images and objects that appear in the item.

To tag locations, select the tagging tab at the top menu of the Activity Panel. Click the plus next to the heading LOCATIONS.

You can also adjust the position of the pin by dragging it on the map. If you want to add further details to the location, you can write a (short) description. This could include extra information about the geotag (e.g. the building name or a significant event that took place at the location) or the relevance of the place to the item (e.g. the hometown of the author).
