Growing Up in Tientsin In the winter of 1923, they began to prepare for the arrival of a child. Expatriate ladies kindly dropped in to deliver all sorts of hand-me-downs from their grown-up children. On 4 August 1924, a daughter was born – Maria Barbara, affectionately called Mausi. Two years later in 1926, a brother arrived – Franz Thomas. Franz Geyling As was typical at the time, the children had a full-time nanny or ‘amah’, who saw to their daily needs, supervised by their parents. Expatriate children often developed close relationships with these ‘grandma’ By Andrea Klopper figures in the absence of their real grandparents. The family’s medical needs were met by Dr Bruell who became a family friend and faithfully served the German community.

he reasons for families relocating to Tientsin were varied but, for many, they were drawn by the Parents, as today, sought out a variety of toys to occupy their children. Having an architect as a father, it is no opportunities of China. Rolf Geyling was one such man. As an Austrian, he’d enlisted to fight for the surprise to see the children playing with assorted blocks and building kits. TGermans in the First World War. In May 1915, he was captured by the Russians during the Brussilow offensive. As a prisoner-of-war, he was shuttled from camp to camp each time moving further east into Siberia until he was finally in Vladivostok. No longer a prisoner, due to the chaos unleashed by the Russian Revolution, he managed to get to Manchuria using forged papers. Gradually he worked his way south ending up in Peitaiho (Beidaihe). As an architect, he was able to pick up work in the burgeoning seaside resort for foreigners. He could see the potential for longer-term employment so after returning to Austria to be reunited with his wife, Hermine Schmidts (known as Maedy), they came back to China to start a new life.

Father Rolf also cleverly constructed play spaces on the flat roofs of the servants’ quarters in the backyard of the Geyling home in the German concession area. It was in the backyard too that they played croquet. There were pets to provide company: the family cat Pussi, and later a dog. Franz had much pleasure on the rocking horse his father adapted so it could swing without damaging the floor.

Sports such as rowing, curling and figure skating were enjoyed by Rolf who also taught these to his children from an early age. They frequented the many clubs around Tientsin’s concessions. In pair skating, Mausi Caption: Rolf and Maedy Geyling starting their life in Tientsin (Geyling page 246) would take the lead but Franz progressed to jumps and pirouettes.

Once the children reached school-going age, they were summer, the children would have swimming lessons at the Tientsin Swimming Club and then get to use the sent to the German school (the building is still there, as a school, on the corner of Taiwan Lu and Shao Xing skills in the sea off Peitaiho, where families retreated in the summer heat. They only returned to visit family in Dao). It was run by local expatriate Germans, and went from kindergarten to Year 12. Teachers and resources Austria and Rumania in 1929 and 1939, which involved a lengthy train trip across Russia, or an equally lengthy were provided by the German Ministry of Education in Berlin which also ensured that good standards of boat trip. education were kept. In the elementary grades, the Geyling children were introduced to German spelling, formal grammar, both Gothic and Latin, and hand-writing. In addition, they also learnt ‘what do people do all day’, civics, simple geography, music, basic Protestant religious education and sports such as European-style handball, ‘schlagball’ (European version of baseball), and in spring, track sports including sprinting, javelin and long jump. Whenever the teacher entered a classroom, students had to rise and greet them and they were expected to stand when answering any question. Failure to answer correctly could result in having a smack to the ear, as Franz remembered happening in Grade 1!

Over the years, the Geyling siblings took part in art exhibitions, concerts, and Christmas shows in dangerously chased the rabbits towards the hunters. Sometimes, as a family, they’d go further afield to visit the German Club Concordia. On May Day there was a gymnastic presentation at the school together with historic Chinese sites. Maypole dancing, human pyramid-building, drills and team games.

By the time the Geylings reached high school, the Second World War was being waged in Europe. Sending the children back to stay with family was not a safe option nor was going to Shanghai that was occupied by Japanese soldiers. The German School Board, of which Rolf Geyling was then secretary, came up with creative ways of helping the five remaining students prepare for the Arbitur matriculation exam to ensure entry into German-speaking universities. Exams required writing a German essay, translations from Latin, French and English, Maths (Calculus and Spherical Trigonometry), and oral exams, which included Physics, Biology, Chemistry and History followed by physical exercise tests with sparring, using high bars and parallel bars. Following this, Rolf continued to sponsor his son by arranging private lessons with a variety of engineers in Tientsin as college preparation.
