  • Collection
  • 2021

Die Fotos dieser Sammlung zeigen den aktuellen Stand der Bahnstation Fred Engen, die einen wichtigen Bestandteil der historischen Orte der Kolonie Menno ausmacht. Hof und umliegendes Gelände wurden gesäubert und die Häuser renoviert. Die alten Zugschienen wurden teilweise mit neuen Bohlen versehen und wieder so hergerichtet, wie sie zur Zeit der Ansiedlung aussahen. Dieser Ort liegt etwa 72 km von Loma Plata, Kolonie Menno, Chaco Py, entfernt und wird heute von vielen Besuchergruppen, wie Gemeinden, Schulen und Familien gerne besucht.
Zur Geschichte dieses Ortes siehe die Beschreibung in: https://archives.mhsc.ca/index.php/bahnstation-fred-engen.

Bahnstation Fred Engen

  • PY GKM Fotosammlung 2020.11.25_Punta Riel_UG

  • 2020

Haus und Hof auf der Bahnstation Fred Engen. Die Bahnstation Fred Engen, im Volksmund “Enj Bohn” (Ende Bahn) bzw. “Km 145” genannt, ist ein Ort, der für die Geschichte der >Mennonitenkolonien im >Chaco von großer Bedeutung ist. Seit der Gründung der >Kolonien bis zur Öffnung der >Ruta Transchaco 1961 wurden die Ernteerträge aus dem Chaco mit Ochsen- oder Pferdewagen zur Bahnstation gefahren und von dort Importgüter zur Kolonie mitgebracht. Die Bahnstation Km 145 war viele Jahre das einzige Tor der mennonitischen Chacokolonien zur Außenwelt.
Eng verbunden für die Chacomennoniten ist die Bahnstation Fred Engen mit dem Namen Heinrich >Troxler, der als Vorsteher der Bahnstation von der Firma Casado angestellt war.
Lange Zeit noch blieben die Gebäude Eigentum der Firma Casado. Im Jahre 2004 hat die Kolonie >Menno die Gebäude und ein angrenzendes Landstück von 36 ha gekauft und schrittweise restauriert mit dem Ziel, diesen Ort für Besucher als Geschichtsmuseum zur Verfügung zu stellen. Außer den geschichtsträchtigen Gebäuden ist die Natur auf dem betreffenden Landstück sehr attraktiv für Ausflügler und Naturliebhaber.
Die geschichtliche Bedeutung der Bahnstation, für die Pioniergeneration der Chacokolonien unvergesslich, soll somit auch für die kommenden Generationen erhalten bleiben.

The series contains volumes I-V of "The Elephant in God's Living Room," as well as correspondence, research materials, personal notes, and journal entries.
