Derblecken

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Derblecken (also derbleck'n , also dablecka ) is a Bavarian term that means " targeting someone".

definition

An “official” definition of the word “derblecken” - the old Bavarian pronounces it “dablecka” - was provided by the “Friends of the Bavarian Language and Dialect”. According to this, “derblecken” can best be translated into standard German as “more or less jokingly mocked”. The name is probably derived from "baring your teeth", i.e. showing someone your (flashing) teeth.

Wrongly, derblecken is reduced to holding up a critical mirror to public figures. In fact, any person, regardless of their role in public life, can be slandered. The reduction of derbelying to public figures presumably stems from the fact that the word is only known to a broad population who is ignorant of dialect because it is used in connection with politician derbelying on the Nockherberg.

history

The Bavarian tradition of derbleckens goes back to the greeting of guests by their host, who used to know all the villagers personally and was very familiar with the stories and rumors circulating in the village . The regular guests were teased with these stories by humorous and self-confident hosts ("'naufg'schossen"). Rhetorically less gifted hosts or host commissioned at events, to which guests should be greeted in a similar fashion, professional Hochzeitslader or Gstanzlsänger that umhörten in the run up to the peculiarities and sensitivities of the guests. The respective victims of the ridicule were expected to take it with humor; an insulted reaction caused all the greater amusement in the other guests.

Strong beer tasting on the Nockherberg in Munich

Today, the term is often used in connection with the annual strong beer tapping at Munich's Nockherberg , in which the majority of the state and federal politicians who are present are critically mirrored in a textual-cabaret part and later in a singspiel. In 1891, the Munich humorist Jakob Geis was the “inventor” of the bad beer tasting . Other well-known "Derblecker" were among others Adolf Gondrell , the Roider Jackl and Walter Sedlmayr . Journalist Hannes Burger wrote the texts for Sedlmayr, Max Grießer and Erich Hallhuber . Bruno Jonas , who took over the role of Brother Barnabas in 2004, wrote his own lyrics again.

After Jonas announced his resignation in January 2007, the organizing brewery appointed the cabaret artist Django Asül as the new fasting preacher. On August 2, 2007, the organizer announced that Asül would not perform a second time on the Nockherberg. In 2008, 2009 and 2010 Michael Lerchenberg gave the fasting sermon. Lerchenberg had always been involved in the Singspiel as Edmund Stoiber's double . On March 5, 2010, Lerchenberg announced his resignation after public criticism of his speech. From 2011 to 2018 read with Luise Kinseher first woman in the role of Bavaria politicians the Levites .

In 2019, Maxi Schafroth was the youngest speaker to date and the first from Allgäu to give the Lenten sermon.

The Singspiel at the Nockherberg Strong Beer Festival 2010 was written and directed by Alfons Biedermann. From 2013–2017, Marcus H. Rosenmüller was in charge of the Singspiel. In 2018 and 2019 Richard Oehmann and Stefan Betz designed the Singspiel.
