What's new?

Guests...
Please click here to leave an anniversary message (in any language you choose). You do not need to be a member of Lowlands-L to do so. In fact, we would be more than thrilled to receive messages from anyone.
Click here to read what others have written so far.

About the story
What’s with this “Wren” thing?
   The oldest extant version of the fable we are presenting here appeared in 1913 in the first volume of a two-volume anthology of Low Saxon folktales (Plattdeutsche Volksmärchen “Low German Folktales”) collected by Wilhelm Wisser (1843–1935). Read more ...

Anniversary Project Participants

Our heartfelt thanks and whopping kudos go to many friends all over the world who rallied to support us, have given of their talents, skills, knowledge and time, everyone on a voluntary, unpaid basis.

This includes numerous people that are not and have never been members of Lowlands-L (marked below with *). They deserve a special round of applause. And another round ... Give it up for family collaboration: one brother team (the Fosters of Ozee Tilp fame), one twin sister team (Boholano), two dad-and-daughter teams (the Chakmakians [Armenian] and the Soysals [Turkish and Crimean]), and the Roerdinkholder team consisting of the Lowlands-L member Ingmar, his wife Barbara and his grandmother Janna Geertruida! How cool is that?! (Not to mention the considerable “cuteness” factor, of course.) Thanks to all of them, in all their language varieties!

Unfortunately, Janna Geertruida Roerdinkholder-Hesselink passed away in the meantime, as did Clara Kramer-Freudenthal. We will remember them.
