Hi:

Friedrich Laubert, Schaffner au des (what is this word) Eisenbahn hier wohnhaft

What kind of railroad conductor is he?

 Thank you!

Hello Martha,

the text is "Schaffner an der bad. Eisenbahn"; bad. can mean badischen, i.e. the railroad of Baden, the historical territory in south-west Germany. It would help to know from which parish the record is, to determine if this is the correct (or a possible) interpretation.

Hi Ulrich:

Neuenheim Heidelberg so that makes sense.

Thank you!
