Can you tell me about this watercolor?...............

[Fred (S.Indiana)]

The story behind this painting (6X10) is that during WWII, my mom's family sent a care package to Europe for families in need and in this package was a watercolor set, some months later, my mom's family recieved this painting expressing gratitude for the package, what strikes me is the quality of this painting, the painting is entitled "Am Chiemsee" I took a close-up of the signature and I can figure the first name as "hans" but have difficulty with the last name other than knowing the first letter is "H", anyone help on this?..................

Prien am Chiemsee is a municipality in the district of Rosenheim, in Bavaria, Germany. It is situated on the western shore of the Chiemsee lake, 16 km (9.3 mi) east of Rosenheim.

Looks like it may have been an American run R & R resort type area...
