Reference excerpt

The Kolping Park and Chapel is a religious facility previously located at 47440 Sugarbush Road in Chesterfield Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1996. On September, 28th 2016 the chapel was moved to the Chesterfield Historical Village at 47275 Sugarbush Road.

History In 1849, Adolph Kolping founded a Catholic journeymen's association, the forerunner of what today is known as the Kolping Society. The society promotes member's development through education and activities. In 1926, Father Joseph Wuest, a former bricklayer, established a chapter of the society in Detroit. The local chapter acquired the land that is now Kolping Park in 1929. The society cleared the land, planted trees, and constructed some buildings. In 1932, Wuest designed and constructed the chapel on this site. The property is still owned by the Detroit branch of the Kolping Society of America. The Kolping Society decided in 2015 to sell the park land and donated the Kolping Chapel to the Chesterfield Township Historical Society. On September 28, 2016, the chapel was moved from Kolping Park, down Sugarbush Road, to the Chesterfield Township Historical Village, where it presently sits.

Rev. Father Joseph Wuest Rev. Father Joseph Wuest was born in Nassau, Germany on July 7, 1869. He attended school in Thalheim, and studied further at Mesnières-en-Bray and at Langonnet, where he graduated in 1896. He was appointed a professor at Knechtsteden, where he served until 1899, when he emigrated to the United States to serve as an assistant pastor in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania. Wuest served from 1902 to 1907 as a hospital chaplain, and in 1907, he was made pastor of St. Mary's church in Detroit. He immediately began working with immigrant German families, and in 1911 reached out to African American families, one of the first white church leaders to do so. Wuest founded the local chapter of the Kolping Society in 1926, but ill-health forced him to retire as St. Mary's pastor in 1929, although he still heard confessions. Wuest died in July, 1958.

Park and Chapel Description Kolping Park is a 19-acre parcel, rectangular in shape, running from Sugarbush Road to the Vase River. The park contains Kolping's historic wayside chapel, as well as a shrine to Blessed Father Adolph Kolping, and a pavilion, dance hall, rifle range, picnic shelter, parade grounds, playground, soccer field and parking lot on landscaped grounds. The chapel is a Gothic Revival structure, designed and constructed by Joseph Wuest himself. It is intended to be reminiscent of European wayside chapels. It is constructed from stones and shells sent to Wuest by Kolping societies from all over the world. Wuest inscribed a plaque with "Honor by means of untiring work" in the chapel. The landscaping of the grounds as well as several of the structures were designed by Kolping Society members, including Vincent Schultes, Joseph Schultes, Wendel Schultes and Frank Foster.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Kolping Park and Chapel

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Kolping Park and Chapel claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Kolping Park and Chapel before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Kolping Park and Chapel ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Kolping Park and Chapel

In research: Kolping Park and Chapel appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Kolping Park and Chapel in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Kolping Park and Chapel is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Buildings and structures completed in 1932, Michigan State Historic Sites, National Register of Historic Places in Macomb County, Michigan, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Kolping Park and Chapel outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
