‘Wandervögel: A Prussian Family’s Passage Through Leipzig’ is a historical study now being researched and written by Paul Tÿralla’s great grandson on seven generations of migration.
"It's called that because each generation within our family was a ‘Wandervogel’ - a migratory bird," quips the Budapest-based author, Jerome Simpson!
The PDF downloads on the right are those chapters that tell Paul Tÿralla’s life story.
The book’s full contents page together with an abstract is available here alongside its cover pages. Cca 75 percent of the work is complete. Blogposts here relate ongoing progress.

THE SILESIAN COMES CLEAN!
Paul Tÿralla was born in 1882 in rural Silesia in newly united Germany. Attracted to the city, he moved to the Kingdom of Saxony’s second largest, Leipzig, in 1900.
 PASSAGE THROUGH LEIPZIG
The city then was a magnet for many. For Paul Tÿralla, Leipzig’s fur trade held greatest appeal - until he met Nannÿ Hinsch in 1906, the daughter of another Prussian in-migrant Schneidermeister, Friedrich Hinsch.
In 1907 they had their first daughter, followed by two more as well as a son. With that he was effectively married to Saxony!

In April 1915, the Kaiser called Paul Tÿralla to the frontline. There he perished defending der Vaterland in the trenches of France’s Champagne region.
