      Note for Kaltenkirchen
      Kaltenkirchen (nicknamed KaKi) is a town located on the outskirts of Hamburg in Germany. It is part of the Segeberg District, in Schleswig-Holstein. It has about 20,000 inhabitants. First mentioned in the 14th century, it flourished during the Industrial Revolution to accommodate the large number of workers in Hamburg. During the World War 11 a temporary airfield protected the northern towns from bombing raids, but during the raids on Hamburg the airfield was destroyed and never rebuilt. Only open fields now remain where it was. A concentration camp was established here from August 1944 to April 1945 as a subcamp to the Neuengamme concertration camp. About 700 prisoners died. There was talk of moving the Hamburg Airport to Kaltenkirchen in the 1970s, but this did not materialise [Source: Wikipedia]

    MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
    The gentlemen who headed the poll, Mr. Marcus Boge, is an old and respectcd resident of Maryborough, a thriving man of business, and possessing great influence with the Germans, his fellow country men, who constitute a very large portion of the voting power of Maryborough. Beyond the ranks of the Germans, however, Mr. Boge's candidature has been well received, and there is no reason to doubt that he will do credit to the new position in which he is placed and manfully combat the difficulties which surround the Council.

    That the Government intend to carry out their threat of flooding the country with cheaply indented European labor as a set off against the effect of the choking off colored labor, becomes more apparent day after day. A report was current in town yesterday that Mr. Marcus Boge, who lately parted with his Aurora plantation to Mr. Hall, is to be appointed an immigration agent and lecturer in Germany, and that he will shortly visit his fatherland on behalf of the Queensland Government to induce his countrymen to sign an agreement to work out here on plantations and elsewhere for a stipulated number of years, and at a figure which we presume can hardly, to really act as a set off against black labor, be over 10s, a week. Of Mr. Boge?s personal fitness for the post there will be no question, the high esteem he has won as a successful colonist being a sufficient guarantee to his countrymen on the other side of the water as to what can be done in this country by steadiness combined with energy. Though it has been treated as rather a joke and stated that Bismarck will ?run in?' our lecturers on arrival, it is not at all certain that the wily old statesman will welcome a number of persons to Germany, whose avowed object is to carry off as many of the pick of the nation as possible.

    Obituary 5 Aug 1902  Maryborough Chronicle, Wide Bay and Burnett Advertiser, Queensland Find all individuals with events at this location 
    We regret to record the death of our old townsman, Mr. Marcus Boge, who, until shortly before his death and for some years past had been lessee of the Club Hotel, but at the time of his death he was completing arrangements to open a boot store at Taabinga, in the Nanango district, wither his wife and most of the members of his family had gone. Though he had not been in good health lately, his death was very sudden and unexpected.
    Mr. Marcus Boge was born in Schleswig-Holstein in 1851, and he came out to Maryborough as a young man, and his early life was devoted to farming and sugar growing on the Mary river. He afterwards started business in town in the boot trade which he conducted for many years, singly or in partnership with others. Up to within the last ten years, Mr. Boge had taken an active interest in local affairs, and was an alderman for several years. He leaves a wife and large family to mourn his loss.
    The deceased was a brother of Messrs. Hans and Joachim Boge of this town. The funeral takes place this afternoon.

    MEMORIES OF A PIONEER
    (Bv Jos. Gehrmann)
    He was not a pioneer in the sense that he blazed tracks through the bush, but he made many boots and shoes that were worn by pioneers , and their wives and daughters. . Harry Gehrmann was about six years of age when his parents arrived in Queensland from across the "big pond" from Germany.
    What education Harry got came from the old primary school, at the corner of Alice and Lennox-streets. The school building later became an immigration depot, and the Naval Brigade had a drill hall on the same site. Harry served his apprenticeship as bootmaker under his uncle, the late Mr. Marcus Boge, who, in partnership with Mr. David Gardiner, carried on their business in the two-storied shop in Ellena-street, opposite Mr.Hughie Shaw's black smiths shop.

    At that time, Friday afternoon closing obtained, and the shops were open on Saturdays until 9 p.m., and Harry was called upon to deliver parcels on Saturday nights on which messages often accompanied him. 1 often had the wind up about the blacks when we were called upon to go to the far side o£ Newtown.

    By the way, people at that time used to refer to "over the creek." By "over the creek" was meant the gully along which trains now go to the wharves though the gully at that time was more like a creek than now. And people used to refer to "Irish,-town"- this because there were a goodly number of Irish people who lived close to each other in a part of "over the creek" or Newtown.

    I wish to refer here to the late Mr. Boge, who was a born gentleman, and a popular man in the Masonic Order. He married into a pioneering family, the Bundesens, of Netherby, and Mrs. Boge, as I remember her, was a real lady, always glad to give assistance where needed. Mr. Boge's business partner, Mr. Gardiner, had been, I think, actively connected with the School Of Arts.

    However, in the course of time, the firm of Boge and Gadiner dissolved partnership by mutual agreement, and Mr. Gardiner went to New Zealand. Mr. Boge bought a sugar plantation at Owanyilla, known as Aurora plantation. He soon struck trouble here, for he maintained that sugar could be grown with white labour.

    Sugar growers along the Mary River, at that time, used to crush their own cane, and send, the juice to the refinery at Yengarie in punts. And Mr. Boge was advised that if he did away with his Kanaka labour, the refinery would not take his juice, so Mr. Boge had no option.

    Harry was a versatile leather worker. In those days, cricket balls were not as plentiful as now, and when the covers had been knocked from them, they were sent to Harry Gehrmann to be re-covered. Harry had a design of his own for re-covering, but want of space precludes a description of that design at this juncture, These reconditioned cricket balls made splendid practice balls for a batsman had to watch them all the way- those cricket balls could do things.
    I will continue the story of this pioneer's early career in a later issue of your journal.

    Aurora Plantation
    1883
    Marcus Boge bought 81 hectares fronting hte Mary near Etchell's Falls from WG Bailey.
    He felled the scrub and in a short time had cane growing.
    He bought a mill in May 1883. Miss Boge ceremonially started the engine.

    1884
    Boge sold to Richard Henry Maund Hall.
    Hall was a pioneer in many areas and was one of the first farmers to irrigate out of the Mary. He also converted megass to manure by feeding the cattle on it nightly.
    He employed 2 Europeans and 14 Islanders plus an extra 10 hands in the crushing when he handled neighbours cane as well.
    1886, 21st April
    The Aurora Plantation is being successfully irrigated by pumping from the Mary River, The results so far are exceedingly satisfactory.
    1890
    Aurora lost much of its cane in the flood and the nearby Pioneers Rest school was carried 400m down river and turned upside down by flood waters.
    The mill escaped damage and was turned into a temporary school.
    1893
    Plans were revealed for expansion after the mill had survived the flood.
