My subject is the 'Geleitslöffel' from Seligenstadt. This is a big spoon and an important subject of the history of my hometown Seligenstadt.
What is/was it used for?
In the past merchants travelled in a convoy to the fair of Frankfurt - an important trading town close to Seligenstadt. My hometown used to be the last stop before the final destination being just one day ride away.
The escort spoon is a big from which the people earlier of the tradition have followed and 1 liter of wine have drunk up without in press.

It is brown and from walnut-tree wood. His masses are 77 centimeters amount to them chains in the spoon hangs amounts to proud 110 centimeters.It consists of a piece of wood.
Why is it relevant to me and how did I get it?
It is relevant to me because it belongs to my family since 1861, besides, it is a subject very importantly for the history(story) of my homeland city Seligenstadt.
Why do I want it to be passed over?
I want it to be handed over because it is already very old and I want it to be many years older.
Who would I pass it on to?
I would like to hand it to my children or grandchildren.
What can you do to preserve the object you have chosen?
I can take care of it so it does not break. Now it is in the museum in Wiesbaden.
