Teoboldt Ivanovich Prassler

More than four decades link Teoboldt Ivanovich Prassler with peat factory "Njurdor-Kotja". From them six years he was here chief engineer, and last nineteen - director of firm. Practically all this time he was the chief of one of the largest industrial firms. By the prosperous chief! Teoboldt Ivanovich is german on a nationality. That he tells about himself: " I was born in Moldova, on the boundary with the Odessa area. We had fine double storied house. On a footstep to week of war our terrain was taken by the Romanians, and all population have taken away in Germany. I was in Romania, Poland, Hungary, Austria to the end of war has appeared in Kassel, on, of Yugoslavia Rhodinum of my grandparents (from here in 17-m century they have moved in the Odessa area). When the Soviet troops has taken of Berlin, to us have said: " Go home! ". But instead of houses us have settled whom where. Me have brought in the Perm area. (Later, when there have barred a plant, have thrown in Njurdor-Kotja). The school friend discouraged me: " the Fool, really think, what thee home will be lucky? Have gone better in Western Germany ". He has leaved in Germany, then hundreds have left there. Much in that moment was confused. The cognates have appeared till the miscellaneous party of barricades. And lived: the wife in one place, husband - in the friend, brother with the brother in separation... "

In the visitors in Germany I am agglomerate, there much ours live. But on the permanent residence most likely I shall not go. At first, for me the wife Кaterinа here is buried. Children all four in Izhevsk live, by the way, all of them have finished one mechanical institute.

There are also other reasons, for example, there so disconnect each monogynopaedium lives, that it is necessary to get used to this. Here come on a street, all familiar, with each is possible to talk. There not so. I in Germany three years was, I know her, there each monogynopaedium - the small lock. Certainly, ours, who there lives, all are financially perfectly ensured, but they too maiden 2-3 years were mad from feeling of loneliness.

How I have acquainted with the wife? In 1948 went from a rest House "Jurjino" from under Kazan. Naturally, I was accompanied with the militiaman, I you see was спецпереселенцем, without guards it was impossible. Before Kazan or ambassador, precisely I shall not say, the woman too with the militiaman has come in a coach. Then I have acquainted with the future wife. She too was немкой, from Peterhofs, till now their house costs there. The father Катерины was a master mechanic горнильной of factory. In 1937 him have awarded with Order of a Red Banner. It was in the afternoon, at the same night him have collected. The mother with my future wife have sent in the Tyumen area. There she also has died, and Katerina before the war it was possible to run home.

When the germans have trapped of Peterhof, her too have taken away in Germany. And after war she "has gone home" and instead of houses has got in Siberia.

Teoboldt Ivanovich gets a family album. "He, father of Katerina, beautiful, serious ". "And this nice young lady is her mother. By the way, she in due course has finished institute of the noble maidens in Smolny. One more photo, is obvious from far times. It for Katerina's grandfather, he worked the gardener for Nickolai II. He more than once had to see sovereign ". The relic, getting from the grandfather - Bible of 1900 of issuing, presented to the grandfather on 200th anniversary of Peterhof was kept in the house of Prassler.

The pages of a family album transfer from the present in past, from familiar places - for many thousand kilometers. " These permjaks ours, all of them the geologists, it - on wedding of the high son, and here - for low. Ours here are embodied, dwelling in Germany, and it is my german friends, present period, they were for me here... "Many formation snapshots of the people in form, where Teoboldt Ivanovich some more absolutely young, on such photos he comments shortly: "It is a hard labour".

Among photos the things, which one some kind of too memory and relic fall. A season ticket from Peterhofs up to Petrograd in name of тестя, komsomolskiy ticket of Teoboldt Ivanovich. He is obliged to him in to any measure for the saving. He has arrived to the Perm area in 1946 with komsomolskiy ticket. Special settler, keeping комсомольский the ticket, attracted attention. Here other curious document - certificate about a full aftertreatment in connection with the Law of RSFSR " About an aftertreatment of victims of political reprisals ", dated back 1993.
