WENKENBERG HIMMELSBRIEF - EXTREMELY RARE TYPE OF PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN BROADSIDE
Several types of Himmelsbriefe(Letters from Heaven) were printed by Pennsylvania Germans. The most common one was supposed to have been delivered at Magdeburg(sometimes misspelled Madgeburg) in 1783. The rarest one was delivered at Wenkenberg(sometimes misspelled Wenkenburg) in 1721. In fact. The Wenkenberg Himmelsbrief is so rare that Edwin M. Fogel missed it entirely in his survey of Pennsylvania German Himmelsbriefe published in the German American Annals in 1908. This particular copy is from the collection of Dr. Don Yoder, who purchased it decades ago at Weaver's Bookstore in New Holland, Pennsylvania. Dr. Yoder translates the beginning of the text as follows: A Quite New Doleful and Veracious Statement of Warning from the Letter that Hung in the Air at Wenkenburg on the 29th of December 1721. This Letter God allowed to be seen, ... moreoutside and inside the city, so that no one knew on what it was hanging. But it was written in golden letters and sent from God through an angel. Whowever desires to copy it, to him it will lower itself; but whoever has no desire to copy it, it will fly away from him into the air.

Of home foreclosures and lost jobs and frozen credit, what protection is available to the average American? For several centuries American homeowners had insurance in the form of a printed document called a Himmelsbrief—or Letter from Heaven. Carried on the person. Especially in time of war, or framed and installed in the farmhouse, the letter was believed to furnish protection of many sorts. The document was universal among the Pennsylvania Dutch, as well as among the Dutch Diaspora in the South, the Midwest, and Canada. Like other broadsides. Letters from heaven were sold at fairs and markets in the towns and peddled through the countryside. Dozens of versions, in German or English, were printed and sold during the 19th and 20th centuries, and even today variants may be found. The letters were typically framed and displayed in the house for protection, although a family might turn the text to the wall in the event of a visiting pastor, since many clergymen considered s
