"Locktrop, House of the Peitz Family, 1908"

"Old Map of Locktrop showing location of Koch-Peitz home "

The source for the two pictures above is: "Esloher Forschungen II - Wirtschaft und Verkehr im Esloher Raum", Rudolf Franzen, editor, Jos. Grobbel Printing, Bad-Fredeburg, 1999. and was found on pages 102-103 of Vol. II.

The following note from M. Grobbel gives a few more details:
"I have a set of books titled "Esloher Forschungen (Eslohe Research) - Vols. I & II" and on pages 102-103 of Vol. II, there is an old map of Lochtrop showing the location of the Koch/Peitz Hof, a short history of the 80 hectare Koch/Peitz Hof (with a mention of the 1813 Peitz-Koch marriage) and a photograph titled "Lochtrop, Haus der Familie Peitz, 1908". (Lochtrop is south of Frielinghausen and north of Grimminghausen). Unfortunately, since the Esloher Forschungen concerns itself with the history of the town of Eslohe and the villages in it's immediate vicinity, only Lochtrop appears in it".
