Life

Pillow stone Adolf Woderich, Ohlsdorf cemetery

The trained printer Adolf Woderich traveled all over Europe on foot between 1928 and 1932. He then lived and worked as a freelance writer in his hometown. Used as a soldier in World War II from 1940 , he was a Soviet prisoner of war until 1947. After his release he returned to Hamburg, worked as a freelance writer again and died at the age of 56 in a Hamburg hospital. He found his final resting place in the Hamburg cemetery Ohlsdorf , grid square AC 5 (northwest of Nordteich below the Stavenhagen hill).

Adolf Woderich was the author of various Low German folk plays, such as B. De Börgermeisterstohl , Vogeljette or Frollein shallot . From 1933 he sympathized with the ideas and goals of the National Socialists , which found expression in many of his works, including in Yesterday's Youth. A game about young people , Volk up'n Weg or Dütschland is stuck . In particular De Ewige Quickborn. For the author Kay Dohnke, a Plattdütschen sonnet wreath is "sheer ideology [...] Woderich takes on numerous ideological elements [...] and dresses them in elaborate rhymes in sonnet form".

Woderich processed and described his experiences in Soviet captivity in stories such as How do German prisoners of war live in Soviet Russia or the theater in the Urals . In the 1950s and 1960s he wrote some radio plays produced by the NWDR and later NDR . His mayor stole was adapted for radio after his death. Together with the Schwerin writer Hans Heinrich Leopoldi, he published works of contemporary Low German poetry in 1955 under the title Bi uns to Huus .

In 1957 Adolf Woderich was awarded the Freudenthal Prize .
