Albert Weisgerber , called Senkel (born June 8, 1910 in St. Ingbert , Saarland , † May 23, 1996 ibid) was a nephew of the painter Albert Weisgerber and a St. Ingbert original .

Weisgerber was the son of a master painter and house painter and practiced this profession independently after attending the master school in Kaiserslautern . He was best known as a font painter and worked for 12 years in the advertising department of the Becker brewery . The nickname Senkel came about during a church celebration with the Speyer Bishop Ludwig Sebastian in 1925 in St. Ingbert. The former noticed the gaunt standard-bearer of the youth club and said: "He stays as straight as a lace".

Weisgerber was active as an amateur actor from a young age, played in the small stage of the VHS and in Group 63 . He had his biggest appearance in the ZDF television film Die Buddik from 1983, there he played the dying trombonist Schang and thus played a key role in the film.

Since 1932 Weisgerber was a member of the St. Ingbert mountain band , at more serious gigs as a trumpeter or cymbal player, but also as a fax maker at popular festivals . In this role he animated the audience or acted as the clown. At parades he ran with the front as a flag bearer.

Since 1952 Weisgerber was known as the herald in the St. Ingbert Carnival. At cap meetings, in his heraldic costume, he led the carnivalists onto the stage or into the Bütt.

Weisgerber was married and lived modestly in a two-room apartment at Kaiserstraße 65 above Eisler's pub . He died in 1996. According to his last wish he was buried in the old cemetery in his miner's uniform.
