About This Item

UFABRAs Klenkes Coin

Als "Klenkes" wird in Aachen der kleine Finger der rechten Hand bezeichnet. Er wurde früher in der Nadelindustrie zum Sortieren der Nadeln verwendet. Heute - nach nahezu vollständigem Verschwinden der Nadelindustrie - gilt der erhobene Klenkes vor allem als Aachener Erkennungszeichen zum Gruß.

Viele Oecher Cacher könntet Ihr beim OCTC - Oecher Cacher Treff Cache treffen, ab und zu auch die UFABRAs. Dieses Treffen findet alle 14 Tage in Aachen-Kornelimünster statt.

In Aachen the little finger of the right hand is called "Klenkes". In the former needle manufacturing industry the Klenkes has been used for checking and sorting the needles. Now the upraised Klenkes is used by the citizens of Aachen (called "Oecher") to greet each other far away from home.

This baby has made the rounds! I'm not taking it very far but I'll get it back on the road very soon. I'd love to take it back to Germany....my favorite place in Europe but I can't do that right now. So, it'll have to go to Austin.
