Arendt Lutz

March 30, 1853

Arendt Lutz was born on March 30, 1853 as the second child of Bernardus Lutz and Helena Hahn at the Lutz family estate in the district of Vöhren. His older brother is Theo Lutz. Unlike Theo's difficult birth, Helena's pregnancy with Arendt went very smoothly and without any complications. However, Bernardus Lutz was very nervous about the pregnancy, due to the difficult time he had during the birth of his first child, for which he felt responsible. To cope with this, Bernardus locked himself away in his shed or worked extremely long hours to avoid his feelings. Helena tried to convince him to be present and assured him that she was doing fine. Yet, Bernardus distanced himself both physically and emotionally. When Arendt Lutz was born, Bernardus barely looked at him – almost as if he was afraid of Arendt. Arendt felt disconnected from his father and sought love and attention from his mother instead. Despite trying to reach out to Bernardus, he was often ignored and sometimes even bullied, as his father clearly favoured his eldest son and heir. Arendt felt responsible for this and made great efforts to make others happy and not walk in the way. He formed a close bond with his grandmother, Josephina, and spent a lot of time with his older brother, Theo. Arendt, like his brother, had to work on the farm, but he had more freedom to do his own business because his father was not paying that much attention to him. He developed a sense of adventure and was continuously daydreaming about the travels he would make. In his free time, Arendt went for long walks in the forest or open fields where he studied nature, built huts, and meticulously mapped every detail of it. Arendt bears a striking resemblance to his mother, with their intense and fierce-looking eyebrows and eyes that convey both sadness and strength. He shares his mother's soft mouth and green eyes, giving him a somewhat enigmatic appearance. It seems as though he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders, but there's also a sense of kindness and empathy about him. Arendt inherited his length from his father, measuring 184cm. He has a slender figure and weighs 64kg.

Residence

Lutz Farm is a small farm located in the Denron neighbourhood of the Vöhren district. The Lutz family has been the proud owners and operators of the farm for centuries. They grow a variety of crops, including Rye, Buckwheat, and Flax. The rye and buckwheat are used partly for personal consumption and partly sold to locals. The flax produced on the farm is processed into linen fabric, which is then traded with Boutique Vos. In addition to crops, Lutz Farm also raises cattle for milk and meat. Some of the cattle are sold to locals. Recently, the farm has placed a greater emphasis on producing flax to create high-quality intricate linen fabrics. The farm is situated in a bogland that extends from the Wester Wüste. The bogland consists of several ponds that residents of the area can use for retting flax. The farm used to be located in a drier area, but due to over-farming and deforestation, the soil quality has decreased, making farming more challenging. The farm is composed of a primary building, which is both a home for the family and a shelter for some of the higher-priced animals. On the ground floor, one can find the kitchen and living room, along with two small bedrooms that used to be part of the barn floor. Additionally, there is a small weaving room on the ground floor. The rest of the floor is reserved for the animals, including a large stable for the horse, a pig stable, and a chicken coop. On the second floor are two bedrooms, a storage area, and a hayloft. Apart from the main building, there is a stable for the cattle, located close to the primary building. The residents of Lutz farm all work on their farm. In early spring, they plough the fields and plant flax seeds. They also keep the fields weed-free for rye and buckwheat. The cattle are moved from the stable to the fields during this time. In summer, flax, rye, and buckwheat crops are harvested, starting with rye and buckwheat, followed by flax. In autumn, the flax is put into nearby ponds for the retting process and left to dry afterwards. The rye and buckwheat are threshed and winnowed before being taken to the local mill to be ground into flour. The farmers also slaughter or sell some of the cattle to ensure a steady number of mouths to feed during winter. Before winter, they plant new rye or flax on different fields to maintain soil quality. During winter, they break, scutch, and hack the flax fibres to prepare them for spinning and weaving.
