 knapp richtig es auk vo"rbi.

Enkhausen liet bolle 6km in Westen van Arnsberg, hiett vandage viellichte
700 Inwuohners und en Lu"bke Museum. In Arnsberg resideiert siet de
Pru"ssentied de Regierungspra"sident. In fro"ggeren Jaohrhunnerden
geho"rte Arnsberg da"m Herzogtum Westphalen tau, de Inwuohners waoren
katholsch, ku"erden platt. De pru"ssken Verwaltungsl"ue waoren
Protestanten, ku"rden Haugdu"etsch. Man Lu"bke was katholschk.

 But apparently he lived in various parts of Westphalia
> most of his life.  He may have grown up with Sauerland Low Saxon.

dat's ne Tiedlang her, dao vertellden de Museumslu"e in TV dat eein of
annere van Lu"bke und Lu"bkes olle Schaulkameraoden ut ea"hr gemeinsame
Schaultied met ea"hm. Dao kam bi rut, dat sik Heinrich Lu"bke nich sau
richtig op dat Plattku"ern verstaohn hiett.
