Wolf Koch grew up in Oberwinter, a town dating back to 886, located in Germany’s Rhine Valley between Cologne and Koblenz. He immigrated to this country some 60 years ago; a decade later, he was back in Germany for five years as an officer in the USAF and has been back on visits almost annually. During his childhood, Wolf spent most vacations on farms owned by siblings of both of his grandfathers and became quite familiar with everyday life on small German farms. He and his wife Linnea have been visitors to both Iowa Hallenhäuser as well as Old World Wisconsin. Four years ago, they spent part of a vacation living in a Hallenhaus close to Husum, Germany, as well as a day visiting and photographing the Rote Haubarg, one of the largest, operating now as a restaurant and museum.
