German Student Will Take New Wife Back to Berlin

This is the story of a German student who came to the University of Minnesota to study international economics, married an American girl, and will take her back to Germany.

On Sept. 28, Mr. and Mrs. Eduard H. Grosse will leave the United States for Berlin. They were married Saturday in Plymouth Congregational Church.

The bride is the former Ruth Elwell Weigell, daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Weigell, 124 Prospect avenue. Grosse's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Eduard Grosse, live in Berlin.

Grosse expects to ge this master's degree from the university Sept. 14, and he and his will will sail two weeks later. In Berlin, he plans to study for his Ph.D. at the Free University of Berlin. THen, in three or four years, he hopes to return to the United States in German foreign service to work in the economics division.

In the early days of World War II, Grosse was held in a Nazi concentration camp. He was condemned to die Dec. 12, 1944. With the help of friends, he bribed his way to freedom, escaping to England where he started his university studies. He returned to Germany and enrolled at the Free University of Berlin, but left in 1948, again because of threats on his life. He came to Minneapolis in August, 1950.

Two other German graduate students, Dietrich Schwarzkopf, a staff writer on the Der Tagesspiegel in Berlin, and Emmanuel von Koenig, Munich, Bavaria, attended the couple at the wedding Saturday.

The bride's attendants were her sister, Patricia Weigell, and Gloria Fernandez, Puerto Rican student at the university.

A reception was held at the International house on the campus where the bride has been living.

The newlyweds are spending a short honeymoon in northern Minnesota and will live at 721 Fifteenth avenue SE until they leave for their new home in Berlin.
