Hermann Rüdiger, Die Donauschwaben in der südslawischen Batschka, Stuttgart 1931

He writes that in the year 1884 the Lutheran priest Karl Petri had written a little book about Schowe, because of its 100th years anniversary. I do not know, if it is still available somewhere or if it is lost.
Christian Ludwig Brücker doesn´t list this booklet in his list of sources but quotes from it in the text (Heimatbuch Schowe - 1961).
