[2] He recruited singers, from age 10, by visiting the fourth grades of elementary schools before summer vacation, and listening to voices.

[3] After World War II, Oberschelp also founded a mixed choir of young adults in 1946, focused on German Volkslied.

[1] From 1950, a house was built for the choir at today's Furtwänglerstraße 14, designed by the town's Baurat (building adviser), Kirchner.

[7] They recorded sacred music, titled Ave Maria - Agnus Dei, with tenor Rudolf Schock and the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie conducted by Wilhelm Schüchter in 1964.

[10] Their 1979 single of the Christmas carol "Am Weihnachtsbaume die Lichter brennen [de]" made the German charts.
