The group resettled in Pirna, a village about (???) kilometers from Hohnstein. One month later Klarissa and Zamiel were married; Adelle Hennes was 'put in charge of the flowers', and all the other kids (from the Hohnstein journey) were in attendance at the ceremony. Not too long after the wedding, Herr and Frau Barkhausen (Zamiel's surname) took up occupancy in an old abandoned house, located beside a big forest park, and named it the Barkhausen Orphanage. Soon they were looking after many homeless, neglected and abandoned children; they arrived from all over Saxony, and were in dire need of quality care from adults. Zamiel landed a prestigious position with the local Pirna law branch, while Klarissa slipped almost effortlessly into the role of wife and homemaker. The many barnyard animals the couple came to adopt down the line added joy and sustainability to their new lives in the village.
