Heinrich Böll: Family and Kids


Figure 1.-- Here is the adult Heinrich Boll (1958) in Cologne with his three sons--Vincent, Raimund, and Rene. His nephew Viktor is shown standing at the far right. The boys all wear short trousers. Vincent, the youngest boy, wears sandals with no socks. The other boys all wear ankle socks or knee socks. Typical summer clothes for boys during the 1950s.

Böll married Annemarie Cech during the War (1942). He writes that she "has been irreplaceable, not only as my wife and companion, and not only as fellow experiencer and fellow sufferer in the fascist drama during the Nazi reign in Germany, but also for her critical awareness for language." Their first child, Christoph, died (October 1945). He writes, "Our sons Raimund, René and Vincent were born in 1947, 1948 and 1950 in the rubble of Cologne and grew up there."
