Hugo Oscar MARTIN b1888 first son of Gustav Adolph MARTIN & Caroline Auguste LIEBELT, captured here with the older  'Fred' KUCHEL was the first son of Gustav Adolph MARTIN & Caroline Auguste LIEBELT.  Caroline's parents were Johann Gottlieb LIEBELT [the 2nd son's 1st son] & Johanna Caroline LUBASCH. See LIEBELT Family History page 66.  In 1915 he married Rosamunde Severa PFENNIG. See below for further photograph of Oscar MARTIN.  

John Foumakis, historian & collector, 2021, says Fred KUCHEL is drinking Hochheimer also known as Hock Wine.  "I suspect the bottle is a light amber colour as most Hocks are.  By comparison the Champagne bottle held by Oscar on the right, is green".

Fred' is 30 years and his cousin Oscar is going to be 21 years old on January 19th 1909.

Lothar Brasse, architect & historian, 2021  "The building in the photo above is of a common technique: roughly worked log posts, probably set into the ground, a top plane takes the roof beams and sapling 'lattice to contain the mud, rock and any rubbish will do' infill." .
