Anemolter, Germany is where the Rippe family lived before emigrating to America. The exact time that the family left Germany has not been documented. There is documentation for Caroline's trip to America in August 1856. She traveled with her 9-year-old son, Ernst, and a 54-year-old lady named Anna Rippe. It is assumed that Georg Rippe had come to America some time before and they were going to meet him.
