German man finds familiar
name in Heppner
It’s a long way from home, but
Harald Heppner came all the way
from Germany to see the small
town in Oregon that carries his
name.
Ever since he was 14 and
discovered Heppner while study
ing the United States in
geography, Harald has wanted to
visit here.
“ I was fourteen years old and
had a geography class. We were
studying the United States and I
was a little bored,” Harald told
the Gazette last week. He says he
looked down a list of US cities
and found Heppner. In 1977 he
wrote a letter to the mayor and
received some information about
our town. “ Ever since, I said ‘I
must visit this town.’”
Working for the German
airline Lufthansa helped his trek
considerably since the airline flew
into Seattle, and he only had to
rent a car and drive here.
Researching the origins of
Henry Heppner, for whom the
town is named, Harald said he
has traced Henry’s ancestery to
an area of Europe called East
Prussia, now between Russia and
Poland.
Is he related to the founder of
Heppner, Oregon? “ I don’t think
Around $6,000 in truck tires
were stolen in broad daylight
from the Morrow County Grain
Growers in Lexington on June
29. Twenty tires were stolen.
MCGG manager Larry Mills
said that they believe a man in a
Rider truck is responsible for the
burglary.
According to Mills, a man
came to MCGG and asked to look
at truck tires. He was taken to the
warehouse, which is located near
Harald Heppner
so,” said Harald, “ but I don't
know for sure.”
Harald, who is 29, grew up in
the town of Langenberg with a
population of about 7,000,
located in what was formerly
West Germany.
While visiting Heppner Harald
visited the museum, the dam, and
just spent some time walking in
the little town in Oregon he has
always wanted to see.
