Our first own mystery cache incl. a theoretical puzzle with a following short outdoor part is about Joseph von Eichendorff (1788-1857), one of the most famous german writers during the age of Romanesque.
Eichendorff in fact did not have any direct connections to the city of Bonn (compared to e.g. Beethoven) but some marks and links to him we find here as well.
Update 28.04.2016: Formula and hint for question 1 adapted as infos in Wikipedia have been changed.
Update 31.08.2014: English description added.
Update 27.08.2014: Cache transferred from GC.com to Opencaching.de
As usual for a mystery the cache is not located at the given coordinates but within a radius of 3 km on the territory of the city of Bonn. If you solve the questions further below then you can calculate the location of the final that can be reached also by wheelchair drivers without additional help.
Joseph von Eichendorff, whose full name actually is Joseph Karl Benedikt Freiherr von Eichendorff, is known as one of the most important german romanticist. He was born in 1788 as son of a Prussian army officer, Freiherr Adolf Theodor Rudolf (1756–1818) von Eichendorff and his wife Karoline (1766–1822, nee Freiin von Kloch). Both parents descend from Silesian royal families.
Joseph began already in younger days with the writing of poems, adding later on as well several novels, plays and epics. One of his most well known work is the novella "Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts" (About the life of a good-for-nothing) from 1826, that the one or other still may know from his school time.
Who's interested in more details about the person, the life and the work of Eichendorff can get extended information e.g. in Wikipedia in the following german or english article about Joseph von Eichendorff:
DE: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_von_Eichendorff
EN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Freiherr_von_Eichendorff
Now let's start with some questions that you should be able to answer with the help of the articles mentioned above (you may need the german one for some parts) and other internet sources:
You can now calculate The coordinates of the final as follows:
N50° (A-1)B.(C*2)(D-C)(D\B)
E007° (B-C)F.(E-D+1)(C*D)
You can check your solution for the coordinates of this mystery at GeoChecker.com.

Hints for the final:
The final is located in a residential area and is accessible from a public road. You DON'T need to enter private ground to grab the box. The direct residents/neighbours are involved, so don't be shy to start searching. Best to read the hints beforehand (probably you will also get a friendly hint by the neighbours ). Wrt the arrival we recommend to walk or use bicycle, bus or tram. Car parking is also possible but might be a little challenging depending on the time of the day.
Within the box you will find the logbook incl. a pencil (please leave the sharpener inside). Please close the box after logging carefully and place it back again where you have taken it from.
Enjoy puzzling and searching.
Yours RD07A and family

So. Hier kann es wieder weitergehen.
Das Logbuch ist wieder trocken und die Dose hat eine neue Befestigung.
Außerdem habe ich die Cache-Beschreibung angepasst, da durch eine Änderung im verlinkten Wikipedia-Artikel die Lösungsformel nicht mehr gültig war. Danke an 4FingerFu für den Hinweis.
Viel Spaß beim Rätseln und Loggen

Da die Dose hat in der letzten Zeit leider etwas zuviel Regen abbekommen hat, muss sie erst einmal einer ausgiebigen Trockenkur unterzogen werden.
Sie ist aber in Kürze wieder zurück an Ort und Stelle.
Viele Grüße
