STORY
The Schubert house was a place of love, heartbreak, and family for many years. William and Hildegard met in Germany in the 1940s, just before the start of World War II. Despite the turmoil of the time, they fell in love and decided to get married. After the war, the Schuberts were disillusioned with the actions of their country and decided to start a new life in the United States. William was a talented young man and started his own construction company, while Hildegard took care of the children. At first, they had two children, but later in life, a third child was born. The Schuberts lived happily in their home until William's untimely death. Hildegard was devastated by the loss of her husband, but she was determined to keep the family together and keep their home running smoothly. She lived out the rest of her days in the house, surrounded by memories of her loved ones, until her own passing in 1995. For one last time, we will give you a glimpse into their lives and make their story eternal.

Abandoned House of a German family in the USA | Rare Cars Left Behind
#BrosOfDecay #abandoned #exploring #explore
I always get teary eyed at the end of this type of story. Another family story dies with the passing of time. What I'd give to be a part of a family group. It's no fun being old and alone. Thank you Leslie and Danny for bringing these families back to life one last time ❤️❤️❤️
I am so sorry you have no family. Do you have God?
Barbara, I understand how you feel. All of my family has passed. I have no family to spend holidays with or even a chat on the phone. I miss them terribly. My fiance has a big family and they all have welcomed me, however, it just isn't the same as my own blood. Sometimes it really is depressing to me. At least I know I am not alone with my feelings. 😥💔
And me they make me feel so sad thats all thats left of a lifetime of these people 💔
@@Lily-has-wings All those commercials around holiday time of large families celebrating together are depressing.
All of my family has not passed but everyone is in too much pain from our youth to reconnect. I've tried. I don't even fully understand it, but it's so.
I've been waiting to be adopted for 50 years. Logically, I know it won't happen, but psychologically, it's on my mind every day and I'm still waiting. The social service system is what screwed up our family.
@@loreleilowell1267 Fairy tales aren't the answer.
So much good energy in that house. Very sad to see it abandoned.
It just breaks my heart to see these houses. I cannot imagine not taking any of my parents belongings. I am quite positive that my sons would try to sell some of my furniture and things I have collected over my lifetime. Old family furniture is a treasure to me as well as my husbands while he was still alive.
Lots of nice well made furniture pieces in each room.
When dad and mom died my sibling fought over Christmas decorations and golf balls ….abandoned isn’t a word we know. My daughter has a chair from her great great grandfather. Selling stuff to get money is better….Let someone else enjoy. We agree! Totally. Having a will is a must at any age.
This generation of children isn't interested very much in old stuff or their parents belongings, my sister was in another state with my mom when she passed away in a nursing home there but my sister was there every day with her and mom had all kinds of personal belongs at my sisters and nursing home ,she had a private room so my sister kept what she wanted and gave all the rest away ,I didn't get much ,the one thing I have of my dad's is his first tackle box with his fishing plugs in it that is older then me ,I had alot of family photos but unfortunately they were take stolen and lost 💔
@@deloreslopez1212
Sorry Delores, Photos are the one thing we made copies of at Walmart for future reference.
The children must come antake the pictures
For the new generation and sale the land.
Why not???
Thanks Danny for showing us the pinhole camera. Wow it was in great shape. As the daughter of a German immigrant many things remind me of her parents home. After WWII to be a German immigrant in the United States was very hard. The Germans were ashamed of the things that Hitler did. They tried to hang on to their positive German heritage with books and correspondences in German. The German cursive writing has many nuances that other languages do not use. It is hard to read German. Congrats on trying. The letter with the red white and blue around the edge was to identify it as an airmail letter. Back then you could send a letter that may end up on a boat. The item with the alligator which was used to put on shoes is called a "shoehorn." The potty chair is called a "bedside commode." The chair on the boards with wheels was a homemade wheelchair. When I was young my neighbors built me a similar mobility device which had wood with wheels. Yes, the Lincoln would definitely get stuck in Europe.
Thanks guys! This was fun. The house is a little quirky but someone should buy it and save it. It appears to have good bones and doesn’t seem to have sustainable any water damage like so many other abandoned homes. The furniture should be saved too. I wonder why the children didn’t do something with it or at least come back for the pictures and personal belongings.
I should proof read. Apologies.
Dear selfish children
Someone is paying the taxes on it. Can't believe that much land in NJ unused
@@MAINEIAC Another reason no one wants these abandoned properties. The taxes on them alone would bankrupt families who already have their own houses to worry about let alone, another property in such disrepair. I'm sure taxes in NJ are stupid high to begin with
Taxes and upkeep would require having to come up with a small fortune every year.
I think you have taught so many of us to see the beauty in some of the most simple things. Thank you!
The home I grew up in, in Iowa, USA, had stones to make the basement walls, which were double thick. So I would agree that the much older homes were built that way with what they found on the property. The floor was dirt, no cement. Sadly the home suffered a terrible fire that took it completely, along with my father, who I miss terribly even if I am in my sixties.
German cellar mostly sand, preserving fruits etc.
I'm so sorry for your loss. No matter how old we get, we always miss our loved ones who have passed away. 💔
Thank you. You are so cute.(I'm a Mom and a grandmother) we love your videos.
So many memories just left there. I wish the kids would come by and at least get pictures to keep and for memories.😊👍
That mid-century modern stereo is absolutely awesome. MCM furniture is very popular in the USA right now, some pieces can be quite valuable.
I love the way you narrate the story of the lives of people(s) and how you respect their abandoned homes!!!!!
Most of the stories are fictional, but it's entertaining.
So beautiful I wonder what happened to their children are they still living why did they let this lovely place go like this? One thing I noticed is there is no wedding photo are photos of the left behind and you missed the one room you was looking at from the bedroom
You’re still so lovely and melancholy to watch. Thank you Bros of Decay for the quality videos you both put out on TH-cam.❤
I'm always pretty impressed with Danny's knowledge on the various things that you all come across.
My name is Bobbie Schubert.. I just started watching. It is amazing to see this house. I love all old house. But see this one really hits home in my heart. Thank you so mich. ❤ I also showed this to my family.
Wow. Old furniture, the small suitcase, secret door and radio/camera. Cool!!! I loved everything once I felt like if I were watching a movie from the 40´s.
Just another A+ video from Lesley and Danny keep these wonderful videos coming we all enjoy them so so much !!!!!
Same here. Hi how are you doing with your family i do hope you’re safe from the Covid?
You Are Amazing Person and A Beautiful Soul With A Huge Heart Thank You So Much For Your Videos❤😊
I have to admit, I'm impressed at how many languages this kid has mastered by age 25 ... wow
Intelligent, young man
In the Netherlands and Belgium, maybe, they can speak english and German, they learn that at school. I did in Highschool, Im dutch.
European education!
He's only 25?? Dang. I think I have socks older than that.
@elisa5441 If he could speak German, he should have pronounced "Mozart" correctly. My mother was Belgian, and her education included French, Flemish, Latin and Greek. She only learned English when she immersed herself in it by moving to New York City at age 18. I am very impressed by Leslie's fluent and colloquial American English.
The furniture all looked like well made antiques. It looked like they made a wonderful home for their family. Enjoyed seeing Williams luxurious hat sitting on the dresser, Hildegard must have kept it for memories of him. The pictures of William and his tractor looked like it made a big impact on their lives there, a great tool. Thank you for sharing once again.
Definitely a beating moment in a time capsule where everything was placed before the end...everything about this channel just gives me the good vibes I've been seeking out...I'm so glad to have stumbled upon your videos...most epic
Welcome. I’ve been watching Bros for about six years. I was watching an early video just yesterday and came across two comments I’d made on it. (Lesley’s brother Jordie was involved in the channel until life intervened and he went on to other things. But that is why the channel is called Bros Of Decay.) The video I watched was about 15 minutes long. I’m really glad the videos are now near an hour long, sometimes longer. You have many, many videos to see on here. It’s been interesting to watch Lesley grow and change from the teenager into the handsome young man he is.
Danny I have been watching for about two years. He is a charming young man who is very knowledgeable about many different things. Lesley and Danny are a great team.
So sad that beautiful house and it’s treasures are left. I don’t know how the children could leave it. Thank you to you both xx
This has become my favorite channel on TH-cam, I always get so mesmerized by the content here. I have always loved history but this channelbrings the more personal, intimate touch with by exploring right into the heart of people's lives. I love it here, gonna stay a while. And thank you :)
Leslie!! PÁRABENS PELO SEU vídeo!!💪💯📸🤗😘😘😘😘
Another great video. Thank you for sharing
It would be great if the family came for pictures before they're gone😮😢
Thanks for video, great as always and I can't even stop watching it ... Thanks for sharing , highly appreciate from Philippines 🇵🇭👍🙏🥰
kabayan baka trip modin exploration ko hehe
Thank you Lesley and Danny. This was a beautifully done video. The house was lovely. It was easy to picture how nice it was back in the day. When you find old record players, let us know the name on the record if there is still one on the turntable. It would be interesting to know the last music they listened to. I can't tell you how much I enjoy these adventures with you. Thank you for taking us along. I can;t wait till the next one.
Thank you Leslie and Danny for sharing us lots of vintage things. The music is very touching. Well done 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Really have become an addict at this point .I have always LOVED the history of old buildings ,AM A BIG FAN OF ANTIQUES, so very happy to have found this channel.
Ohhh Leslie & Danny… thank you sooo very much for sharing this wonderful adventure with us!!! This was so very interesting to me, as it was my era… I graduated from high school in 1973! All of those items looked so familiar to me, as that’s the kind of furniture & way that our house was set up!!! They were wealthy farmers, as most farmers didn’t have as nice of furnishings as this family did! It is sad that the antique furniture, items & even family memorabilia like pictures, weren’t saved restored & either treasured by the family or put in museums or resold, to be reused once again 😞😢😰 Not everyone could afford a Lincoln like that, so yes, they had money!!! What a lovely find!!! As I stated, it makes me sad that the children wouldn’t have auctioned this priceless home furnishings off, as we did my folks👍😞♥️ Thanks once again for another epic property ❤️💕♥️
Thank you Leslie & Danny this house is definately a time capsule. So interesting, yet sad story of a beautiful lifetime together. They seemed to miss their homeland very much. Thank you for being so respectful of everything left behind; I wish others would do the same. God Bless!
Kapag nkaakapanuod ako ng mga abandoned house. Nalulungkot ako kasi pinaghirapan pinagipunan at pinangarap ang mga bahay na ngayon ay nabubulok nalng at wala ng nkatira. Nkakaramdam ako ng lungkot.
Lahat ng bagay iiwan din naten lahat sa mundo.. watching ur video from philippines💕
Beautiful pink tiled 50s-60s bathroom upstairs. The 70s Lincoln was nice too.
It is with deep sadness each time I watched your episode. Couldn't imagine how hard it must have been in those days to built ancestral house for their own family. And, to see as to how it became now makes me to reflect on life. All our efforts no matter how noble for our family, even the material blessings will be remembered no more just as we cannot bring anything with us in our death. All will become meaningless. Only what's done for God and for our fellowmen will be significant. 😢
It's very nice that you let these families have their say with your great videos. I love your videos, the old castles, the old houses, the old stories. Thank you!
This makes me feel so sad. Everything is still there as if they were going to come back to the house. Why has no one in the family taken care of this beautiful house? I hope it doesnt go to rot.
Car is Lincoln Continental. About 75-79 model. About same time as the Arab Oil Embargo during President Carter's Administration. Large cars like that became known as "gasoline hogs" and then smaller cars with smaller engines became more the norm.
Amazing tour. It's truly a trip back to a different time. Back to a time when people could immigrate here, buy a few John Deere tractors they could maintain themselves, and have a small family farm.
Grazie esplorazione interessante. From Italy 👍
Lovely home , lovely story of the owner, they get to live in their home till the end of their life, love all of those antique car they left behind and sad to see everything got abandoned, thank you for sharing.
Beautiful explore. By two Beautiful People. Much Love and Respect. Peace.
Thanks for sharing Lesley and Danny!
If I need a break from the real world I watch one of your Videos. Its like traveling in time, making me forget everything else for a while. You are always so respectful. It shows that you care a lot! Thank you for your Videos ♡
Hi Lesley and Danny, another great find. You two are so good at this, Lesley your tender touch to all the family's memories, and their belongings, and Danny your excellent videography skills are perfect. So, thanks guys see ya the next one. Love from N.Y.
These places are a reminder of how short our lives are and how precious they are.
Incredible documentary with beautiful antique furniture and cool electronics like stereo system and old camera. New Home sewing machine was produced in Orange, Massachusetts. My mom had New Home sewing machine. Keep up the fabulous work 📸❤️
I so love watching your videos. I especially love the castles in France & Italy. Thank you so much from Texas.
I wish that things would have been better and her kids took better care of her.❤️
Good morning. Good to see you guys again.😊👍
Lovely video with some very precious vintage items, thank you!
It's been a pleasure watching you,guys, explore such a lovely house! So many beautiful memories and vintage items( fascinating old camera and radio) abandoned forever!! Thank you for sharing this interesting life story! You're great,as always!👍❣️
Thank you!
Amazing how well the house still looks amid the the decay!
Beautiful story telling along with the house! The Barbasol picture in the built on room is actually a disinfectant for hair and barber shops. I bet one of the children did hair probably a barber?
So glad your in my state of New Jersey, another excellent video,the house is still beautiful, hopefully someone will can give it some love again
Did he mention what town they were in?
Hey Bros! Thank you so much for this amazing video! 👏👏❤❤ I love documentary from USA. That's very interesting!
Ciao.Mi piacciono tanto questi filmati.Ho quasi 67 anni.Fra poco pensione.Anche voi siete piacevoli.Complimenti.
I’m glad to see some videos of your visit to the US. I had decided that you must not have found any places still preserved, but I see you have! You’re so knowledgeable but you still make me laugh every once in a while! “She was a real lady.” Thank you for showing the details of the lady for us ladies. We love to see her keepsakes, China and Crystal and such. It scared me when you opened the cologne bottle because it can go bad pretty quickly and really stink!! The lamp shade would have been covered with silk and, as this fabric is very light and delicate, it would have disintegrated and it ended up looking shredded. I believe it has been a natural decline. Haha!! I love the chair on wheels! That’s making something work, isn’t it? For me instead, I recently bought a pink desk chair on wheels. I’m ashamed 🥺. I wonder what happene in the basement…aww, I see! The raccoon is the culprit! Rascal! It’s a well-kept home even though the lady retired there. Thank you for this trip! Respects.
Další krásný příběh rodiny jak ten čas letí tolik aut všeho a pak nemoc baví mě ty příběhy díky kluci staré věci sou lepší díky 💕💕🌹💐👌
Welcome back, and Happy New Year! Great video, as always... Looking forward to an interesting Year, in the USA! My home...
I love the way you narrate the story, I love your Channel,
🇱🇺🧙👁️👁️💖🧚🏽🧚♂️🧚🏽♀️thank you Friends, and Sweet Lesley, for de Video, Dank je wel,…..❤❤
I would put all the family items in boxes so they can be preserved.
Amazing 👏
I've commented before but you show such respect, well done. I LOVE your channel.
Once again a great video thanks to both of you, it just gets to me how the kids don't come back and take there mother stuff, she work so hard for. Thanks again love from Pasadena, Texas.
Great video guys...ty for sharing❤️
Gracias por mostrarnos tantas bellezas, y todo eso quedará en una historia de esas familias que vivieron en ese momento, lastima que no pudieron narrar su historia... La vida sigue después de la muerte, saludos desde México
So true. Greetings from the great State of Illinois 🙌🇺🇲💞🇮🇱🙌🤗
Another terrific capture of a truly precious time capsule/Thank You!!
I bet this house was very nice at one time. I just hate when they get abandoned.
Wonderful, as always!❤️❤️❤️
I may of found them on find a grave. Born in Germany, moved to New Jersey. Hildegard died in 1995 at the age of 89. Her husband in 1993. I can't guarantee it's the same people but the details match.
@@nicolad8822 Yes Kurt is the name of the man I found on find a grave.
I was going to say that William is not a German name, more of England descent. But Kurt is definitely German. I still adore Lesley and Danny (sp?).
I love your videos. You take so much time and really look at things. For the car door, you have to push the button and pull the door open at the same time. I loved seeing the old camera. I imagine they took tin type photos with it. Thanks again for your videos.
They didn't buy the calendar on-line as there was no line in 1995. They either bought it in Germany or a source here in the United States.
The toilet seat in the bedroom is called a "commode" and the shoe spoon you had is called a "shoehorn" in English. You are really very good at English, I struggle at any other languages.
@Bros of Decay Thank you, once again, for another video sharing the history of the family and their daily lives. I never tire of your content.
Nice work, guys...beautiful time capsule home. LOVED the old camera!
You Are The Perfect Example Of A TH-camr Should Be, You Describe What Everything Is, And I Love You’re Accent! I Am Hooked On You’re TH-cam Channel. Much Love To You, Please Keep Up The Great Work That You Do ❤
Its been a while since youve popped up on my feed, but I always admired your passion for this. Always bring positivity and that is worth mentioning
You guys do such a beautiful and respectful job tovether, I so enjoy hour explorations! Love snd peace Bros!!
What a cute little house. The sewing machine was nice find. Like always, I really enjoyed this video. There were a lot of nice antiques and the china in the cabinets It was nice to see that these things were not ruined.
That was wonderful... ...
Thank you so much...🌞
I love watching your videos and you are all are always so thoughtful of whoever's house you are viewing.
You are always finding places that is full of history.
Nice explore, I too was blown away over the antiques upstairs 😊
beautiful story. thank you
Lovely old home, looked ransacked with some of the rooms "tidied up" a bit. Lightly vandalised BMW and still intact Lincoln tucked away. Must be stuck in some legal probate war between the kids in order for it all to go to ruin like that. Great video!
What a beautiful story you've captured here, so touching to see things left behind. I wonder why the children didn't want the family photos or other items?
Wow another great video thank you Leslie and Danny, love you two.
Greetings from New Jersey!!
What a great video 😄 sad about the house 🏠 when u went in the room you looked at the recliner chair you said that we don't have them in Europe yes we do have them
Thank you guys for all your hard work
I enjoy all your videos
So many precious memories in the homes and other buildings you guys film
I had a car just like the Lincoln. Yes, it was like driving a ship, but I loved it! Luxury. The ride was so smooth. I am an old lady now, that was a long time ago. 😊
I learned to drive in a station wagon. I know what you mean by driving a ship. LOL
I am from NJ and know where this town Oxford is. Three towns over from where I lived.
The pink receipt from the mans Tractor repair shop was from Doncheski's a Tractor showroom where you can buy new tractors and have them repaired as well as purchasing parts etc. What a small world !!
Love Watching n Thank u all
Love what you guys do
That house is in great condition! Beautiful furniture too
Another beautiful video, much closer to home for me. FYI that first record you pulled out of the record cabinet wasn't a "vinyl" but rather a shellac 78, as were many of the records near it. That particular label (the one in the "Here They Come" sleeve") was in the Victor "scroll" label, introduced by Victor in 1925, and used for about 10 years.
Che meraviglia questa casa è ricca di oggetti del passato ...la radio poi rivestita di pelle e la macchina fotografica ..che chicche .. certo che però è molto triste e pensi che possa e succederà anche a noi ,ma tutto ha una fine .siete fantastici Lesley e Danny un'accoppiata di ferro ..
Grazie per queste esplorazioni...💪💪💪💯💯💯🍀🍀🍀🍀💕
Lesley, I know how careful you are and always have been,
I wouldn't show any license plates.
Much love ❤️🙏🤗🕊
Please make drone footage for every house investigation. It gives a natural vive with excellent view of ambience🌹
