Documents from 1925, discovered in 2021
In May 2021, during the renovation of the Soldatenheim building, the foundation's staff Günther Dombert found two handwritten documents and two photographs under the floor next to the dancefloor of the former Studio 42. They had been put there during renovations in 1925. The documents refer to the establishment of a new church congregation for the Lockstedter Lager and surrounding parishes.
One document contains the minutes of a meeting on 1 March 1925, at which the establishment of a new church for the Lockstedter Lager and the surrounding parishes Hungriger Wolf, Bücken, Springhoe, Ridders, Abbau Lohbarbeck und Winseldorf was resolved. About 100 people convened. The second document, which is partially damaged, relates to the same matter and concerns a request to the regional church. The two photographs are in a very bad condition, one of them shows the entrance to the big hall, the other is entirely damaged.
