Note1911He assumed responsibility of his father's farm in 1911. The farm had 40 morgen and a meadow. Nine morgen of land his father kept. He had to pay him adequate lease for it. There was also 1 1/2 morgen which belonged to the farm, but they had to pay a hereditary tenant lease on that. The livestock on the farm were 5 cows, 2 steers, 1 sow and 5 pigs. There were also several buildings, a cow stable with room for 6 animals, 4 pigsties with sheep stables and a calf and steer stable in the barn. Heinrich Piepho bought in October 1911, 2 horses from August Rabe so that he could take care of his agricultural chores much faaster. Also in 1911, there was the Foot and Mouth disease in the villiage. He also bought another electric motor for the chaffcuter which had been in existence since 1895. In 1913, he bought from Hecht-Gehle, 3 morgen of farmland. In 1916-1919 he bought a grasscutter with which he could also cut wheat, a ridgedrill, a 3 piece smoothroller, a 2 row plough, and 1 cultivator.1
Note1914When the first World War began in 1914, he was drafted. During this time his wife took care of the farm with the help of some Prisions of War.1
Note1926In 1926, they offered good and cheap farms in Mecklenburg (later to be part of East Germany). Heinrich Piepho had the intention to move there with his family, but his father did not give his consent so he stayed.1
Note1931In 1931, he bought 5 1/2 morgen of pasturland from Fritz Reinshe. Fritz bought himself an estate in Hofrensen and sold his farm and his land in Kolenfeld. He offered his farm to Heinrich Piepho. He (Heinrich) showed interest because the farm was built very narrow and small, but again his father, who felt much connected to the homestead, did not give his consent. In 1932, Heinrich also bought a wheatstringer. In 1934, he bought 2 morgen of farmland from Hitzemann for which he paid lease before. Also in 1934, he bought a totalcleaner thresher. He also wanted to add a shelter onto the barn, but to do so, he needed permission from Rüter so he could build the shelter to the end of the property.1
Note1934In the years 1934-1940, he bought an ironrake and a wingreeping machine.1
Note1943In 1943, Heinrich built a barn to store all the machines out on the field with the help of his second son Wilhelm. On Sep 2, 1949 Heinrich gave Wilhelm the responsibility of the farm.1

Note1943In 1943, Heinrich built a barn to store all the machines out on the field with the help of his second son Wilhelm. On Sep 2, 1949 Heinrich gave Wilhelm the responsibility of the farm.1
Note17 November 1958During the night of Nov 17 & 18, 1958 at 11:30pm there was a fire at the homestead. No one was hurt and no animal perished. The feed which was stored in the attic burnt, the stables were all destroyed, but the dwellings were saved. Heinrich, Sophie, Willi, Margarete, and Rosemarie were taken in by neighbors. The animals were put up by other farmers. One day after the fire, the police checked the cause of the fire. They found out that the farmhand who was working at Willi Piepho's farm caused the fire with a cigarette. (He went late at night to get hay for the horses and the cigarette fell out of his mouth. As he stated later, he stepped on the cigarette but paid no more attention after that.) That's how the house of the Piepho's burnt down again after 150 years. In 1958, Willi Piepho exchanged 6 morgen of farmland with Cord Köster, so he could build his new farm near the village. At the end of 1959, the new farm was completed. The old living quarters, he remodeled and rented out. The barn was sold to Max Machnick which he rebuilt to a living quarter. The modern agriculture machines, Willi bought with a few farmers together because these are too expensive and uneconomical.1
