Melle Photos

En route to Buer and Am Bussdiek we stopped in Melle, principal city of the Gemeinde (sub-county) in which Buer and Am Bussdiek are located. Melle is the sister city of New Melle, Missouri. It is also the home of Möbel Bussdieker, a furniture store operated by Frau Ellen Vogt, nee Bussdieker.
