Lebenslauf

This is the story of the life of the master machinist Otto Schreier born in Eberswalde Germany on August 281842. He lived until July 41926 and died in Nuanhof which is near Leipzig Germany. The original pages were in his own handwriting; he called the document Mein Lebensweg (The path of my life). He began writing in 1907 and after a pause in the work finished on the 18th of February 1918. The handwritten manuscript was compiled and typewritten by Helmut Schreier in 1980. In 2016 with the help of family members and friends I translated it into English because my uncle (Alfred Schreier) wanted future generations to have access to this memoir written by my grandfather's grandfather.
