Looking for help with deciphering this book. Did this book belong to a woman? And anything else anyone might know. Thank you in advance.

Yes, it belonged to a woman, Elfriede Roeber, née Wolf, She was from Seedorf, Northern Germany and served as a farmer´s helper. Let me know when you need further translation.

The last entry the stamp is from the reichsbahn? Did she work for them?

I wonder what happened after 1943, does it say anything? And what are the titles across those 2 pages?

Thanks so much for the help.

1. Name and location of the business/company/factory etc.

2. Type of business/company

3. Start of employment

4. Kind of employment

5. End of employment

6. Signature of employer

 

No info on her employments after the Reichsbahn one. Does the booklet only have 7 pages?

The rest of the pages are blank. Here is the newest date in the book, just a few days after her last day of work at the station

This last seal confirmed the change of her name from  "Wolf" to "Röber", obviously after her wedding in 1943. My guess is she ceased working as an employee then so the Arbeitsbuch was not longer used.

I was wondering if that was the case. Thank you so much for your help.
