The History of Kilchzimmer ...

<<previous

Some eight years later, the leadership was taken over by two sisters who were to work together for nearly a quarter of a century.  They provided shady benches, a little hut, and reading matter.  One of them was not only renowned for her genuine Swalran cookery, but also kept hens and pigs, and cemented a duck pond with her own hands.

The First World War brought much extra work and additional difficulties, but also led to an improvement.  Since soldiers were quartered in Kilchzimmer during the winter months, it occurred to the sisters that the house could accommodate guests in winter as well as in summer. 

It proved an excellent winter resort, especially as a hall had been built for the “patients” above the enlarged dining-hall.  During the preceding decades, one of the resident pastors (son of the Langenbruck pastor mentioned above) had seized every opportunity of improving the home.  An old barn had been replaced by a number of pleasant rooms for sisters, central heating and a drainage system had been installed, together with a pump for the water supply in laundry and kitchen.
