Dear Mario. I guess you are the translator of scripts, right? I don't know how much I can help you , but just from the top of my head, the name Frömmel is known to me from a Pastry Shop (Konditorei) at Vienna, and that name is also connected to a famous architect of a tower in Vienna which was erected there in the late 1800. The Vienna connection to Moravia has always been strong, and in the old days they moved freely among the Austrian Hungarian countries for over 400 years. The name Frömmel (German) is also found quite frequently in the Erzgebirge-Sachsen area in North German Bohemia. In Czech the name is spelled Friml who was a famous composer. The town you mention is Hohenstadt in Moravia and background information can be found on this web page, it is written in English: http://thorin.adnc.com/~lynnd/gfaqf.html The Czech name for Hohenstadt is Zábřeh, so I suggest that you go to www.mapy.cz and key in "Zábřeh" and click "hledej" then a map will come up which you can enlarge. On the top you click on "dalsi" where you will pull down a menu. Choose "Historicka" and enlarge the map a little and "Hohenstadt" will come up. This is merely to help you with your preliminary search. It would be wise to try to find a Heimatbrief or Heimatstube connection in Germany on Hohenstadt. Our German Bohemian list covers mainly the Bohemian part, but we are happy to help out. However, you would be more expertly served if you joined the Moravian list on rootsweb, because there you would connect with people who were expelled from their homeland and resettled in Germany and who would have more exact information. I am posting here a link to the Moravian List Archives which you should read, perhaps you will to find there a connection to either the name or the city. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/MORAVIA Good luck!
