Adam Müller (folk singer)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adam Müller (* 1878 in Munich ; † December 1953 there ) was a German folk singer and humorist.

Life

Müller was an accountant by profession , but performed as a folk singer and humorist in his spare time. He wrote most of his texts himself. Because of this skill, he was used to look after troops in military hospitals during the First World War . After the war he appeared in public in the legendary Alte Simpl in Munich, where the landlady, Kathi Kobus , had hired him.

Müller stood out for his chosen and varied language. His objects were everyday life in Munich as well as its highlights: tram rides and Oktoberfest, dealing with the authorities and encountering a foreign language.

In 1920 he founded the “Münchner Künstler-Ring” in the Ring Hotel at Sendlinger Tor . In the publishing house of the "Künstler-Ring" he published a collection of his humorous lectures under the title "Servus, Drei Quart'l"; a popular phrase that goes back to him. The best known of these was his lecture about a tram ride through Munich on the “Siebener Linie”, long before Weiß Ferdl sang about Munich's “Line 8”. In 1926 the “Künstler-Ring” went bankrupt and had to close.

On April 16, 1943, he performed in the cabaret in the Hotel Wittelsbach , Pfannenschmiedsgasse 22, as part of a tour of Germany with Fritz Kohler as the emcee "in a new series of lectures".
