Tips
The inseparable couple Kessen Ülk and Minchen, actually Gerhard and Wilhelmine Kesse, were Quakenbrücker originals.In the last years of their lives they lived in the city poorhouse and earned their living by weaving baskets. They advertised their wares as peddlers, going door to door and “not averse to a good drink.”Ülk died in 1910, Minchen in 1917. They were buried in social graves in the Protestant cemetery.

The two were exposed to general ridicule, especially among children, because of their drinking.
