Perhaps the social center of Hamburg in 1940 was the Sieb-Wackher IGA store. Its second floor was a community center where townsfolk came to play card games, watch theatrical performances, participate in meetings, and enjoy dancing. After fire destroyed the church in 1940, church services were also held here, worshippers sitting on slatted folding chairs, the hot summer air buzzing with wasps. The building also housed Hamburg's post office; Seib was the postmaster.
