German translation, anyone? . . . Moni?

18 years ago

This is from a gravestone. It may make no sense, unfortunately, because it was very difficult to read, being over 100 years old. Any idea what it says? A man was buried in the grave.

HIER BUHT IN FRIEDEN

Does anyone speak German? (mystery bean)
Q
Comments (3)
It's a green pole bean, stringless. It's an older variety and I've never read something that it's a hybrid. Grow it like every other pole bean. I can translate the text prolly a bit better than google :-) Mid early variety with long, almost straight, thick-fleshed pods with a good taste. High vigorous growth with plenty of leaves. Resistant to burn spots (anthracnose). For fresh use and canning. Prefers calciferous soil rich in humus with good water supply. Poles should be 50 cm (= 2 ft) apart and 6 to 8 seeds per pole 3 to 4 cm (1 1/2 inches) deep.

I did use a quarter pickle in each one, plus some caramelized onions and mushrooms, and a slice of bacon. After searing on all sides, I added a Rouledan sauce mix and a half cup of red wine. It was sooooooo good! Deej says for me to make it anytime, absolutely anytime! I'm a good cook but he doesn't usually rave like that! What really surprised me most was that he liked the spaetzle which is a German type of noodle, and he hates any type of pasta! There's one more serving but I promised it to my DM. I'm visiting her tomorrow, so Deej is out of luck. We've been to German restaurants before and he was never that enthusiastic, so I'm so pleased he liked this meal!

Thank you I found it. It is still a guess as to what language it is in (for me anyway) I just guess Spanish, French, Dutch, German etc. But it is working. Here is a link that might be useful: tut translater

This is how Babelfish translated your email : "Very honoured sender, thanks for your email. I will work on this immediately, unfortunately cannot not exclude I if necessary delays. If you have thus questions or suggestions to SCHWEGLER products, turn please to the following address: info@Schwegler-Natur.de There you get competent advice bezgl. our Produktportfolio. Yours sincerely, Their Web master" I have found that it is not as "polished' a translation - but it does help you to figure out what is written. Hope this helps!

Thank you!! That's a lovely inscription. I'll add both the German (Moni's spelling!) and translation when I upload it to FindAGrave.

Susan, I am not sure, about the words:
GEWIAMET, TRAMERILTEN

I was just guessing, at what the most likely word could be, for it to make any sense in German.

I know, how hard it is to read old headstones, and how much harder it gets, if there is another language involved.

Somehow I don't think Babelfish quite did the job. Here's the translation it gave me:
