  1. You might want to ask the fine folks at r/kurrent as well

  2. I’m reading “Langendorfen” oder “Langenburgen”.
    Unfortunately both don’t exist, just similar names. However, these kind of immigration docs were not always correctly spelled, so I wouldn’t rule it out.

  3. Langenkamp? There’s a small part of Marienmünster in North Rhine-Westphalia by this name

  4. Can you post a picture of the whole page? It helps to be able to compare the individual way the writer writes certain letters. The closest I can find is “Langenhagen” which is now a suburb of Hannover (Lower Saxony) but is could just as well read “Laugenborten” or anything in between.

  5. It could be Langenborgen which was what the town of Langenberg was called in the medieval and early modern times according to chat gpt. It’s also in North Rhine-Westphalia so it may fit.

  6. Langendorfen, Langenburgen or Langenbergen. I found two villages called Langendorf, which is close enough to Langendorfen imo, only that both were situated in Rheinprovinz (Rhine Province) instead of Westfalen. There’s a Langenberg in what used to be Westphalia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langenberg_(Westphalia)

  7. Can we move this kind of discussions to r/kurrent ? Mods?

  8. I refuse to believe it means anything other than Laugenbrötchen.
    Yum!
