boži Dar (German godsend, Latin Theodosium) is a town in Okres Karlovy Vary and the region of the same name in the Czech Republic. The old mountain town is an important winter sports center in the Ore Mountains and is considered the highest town in the Czech Republic and Central Europe.

Well written by the philosophy student Max von Wulf (1865-1946).

Addressed to "Mr stud. theological hunger, in the house of Sr. Excellency of the Lord Minister of State v. Bötticher, Berlin, Wilhelmstr. 74." -- Instead of "hunger" the addressee is called "thirst" in the salutation.

Karl Heinrich Boetticher, from 1864 by Boetticher (1833-1907) was a Prussian civil servant, German vice chancellor and politician. From September 1880 to July 1897 Boetticher was State Secretary in the Reich Office of the Interior and at the same time Minister of State without portfolio.

Recipient (stud. theological Friedrich Hunger from the Rhine Province)enrolled at the University of Berlin in the fall of 1888. In the study directory from WS 1888/89 his address is still Oranienstr. 116 indicated; in SS 1889 then with Wilhelmstr. 74.

It is unclear whether Friedrich Hunger really lived with the Minister of State von Boetticher or whether his landlord also happened to be in Wilhelmstr. 74 lived (according to According to the Berlin address book, the castellan Donges, the stoker Huhne, the house servant Kloß, the cook Kubitzky and the porter Noack also lived there).

Probably written by a fellow student; signed "Your Wolf."

In 1910 he published the work "On Saints and the Worship of Saints in the First Christian Centuries" in Leipzig. An attempt at religious history."
