Do a search on youtube for “Arnold Rikli-Water, Air Sun” documentary 2015 on youtube to see an excellent 50 minute video on the early Rikli Family. I will try to link the video when I am more skilled.

A very short summary of the life of Arnold Rikli by a Swiss Professor from Bern. The long article was in German and was written around 1977.

An aerial view of Wangen looking to the southeast (I think).
A letter from Mathias to Buck concerning the 1974 Rikli Reunion
Pam McElmeel made the letter easier to read.
A view of Wangen looking to the northeast from Friedberg (I think).
A view of Friedberg looking to the northeast. This was the primary Rikli structure just a couple of miles
outside of Wangen and is still standing.
An unknown fact to me, but I expect the timing was the mid-1900s.
The proceeding 4 pictures and letter were recently provided by Pam McElmeel from her family archives.
