The Steffens lived in a very famous house in Danzig (which is now Gdansk in Poland) is referred to as the "Steffens-House". Ninety percent of Danzig was destroyed in 1945 but the house's front side with it's golden plated decorations survived and the building was restored. The house is now called the "Golden House" and one of the handfull mayor sights to be seen in Gdansk near the "Lange Markt". |

I would also like to thank my 6th cousin, Andreas Shultz for his work on the Steffens family tree. He provided us with details of the family line and how the Steffens and Pickering families are related. |
