Life

Albert de Badrihaye was born in West Flanders (Bruges) in 1880 as the son of a police officer. After completing his school education, he dedicated himself to painting. Dozens of works, such as the watercolor Het Paardebrugske , were created by his pen in his birthplace . At that time he was also active as a university lecturer at the Sorbonne in Paris in neighboring France . During the First World War , however, he served in the German army and was sentenced to death in Belgium on April 19, 1920. He then came to Germany as a political refugee and ended up in the city of Passau , where he met his future wife Auguste Richter (born December 15, 1894 - † November 7, 1969) from Breslau . De Badrihaye was a freelance artist at this time and sold his paintings to make money. After a short time, the two of them entered into the marriage covenant and bought a boat without further ado and decided to go on a longer honeymoon. During this trip he kept painting and wrote an autobiography , under the pseudonym Pietje Bok , in which he described the trip with his wife as a wonderful honeymoon .

After his round trip by boat, he arrived in northern Germany in the early 30s and devoted himself to heraldry as a coat of arms painter for the first time. At first he worked in Sankt Margarethen , in the Wilstermarsch and created a number of bourgeois peasant coats of arms and even painted them on the floorboards of many local residents. In 1933 a single volume of these Wilster peasant coats of arms was published in association with the parish of St. Margarethen . In 2011 another 50 copies of this illustrated book were printed. The work contains 43 coats of arms, which were masterfully drawn, heraldically correct and made in color. Working with the arms pulled him under his spell that he's painting / graphics, for its heraldry ( Heroldskunst studied). In a very short time he received his doctorate as professor of his subject. He still lived with his wife at anchor in their houseboat.

In 1936 he moved with his wife to the other side of the Elbe and anchored his boat in Otterndorf an der Medem . There he continued his vocation and made more than 70 community coats of arms and more than 400 family coats of arms. During this time, the name of the professor became known far beyond the borders of his closer homeland. Even abroad they wanted professional advice on heraldic matters.

Unfortunately, after being anchored for years, his boat threatened to break apart. Then they only moved into an emergency shelter that was nothing more than a shed. After a while, however, the residents of Otterndorf found this unworthy of life and the couple moved to live with a family in neighboring Neuenkirchen . There the professor still made paintings, such as the Hof bei Neuenkirchen work.

Just like before in the Wilstermarsch, he also published a coat of arms in the Wesermünde district . Depicted are the municipal coats of arms, which Badrihaye masterfully made according to the description and justification given by the district for the coat of arms to be designed. He and his wife always looked for templates meticulously on gravestones, in archives of churches and the state.

After their death, the Badrihayes left a lasting impression on the inhabitants of both sides of the Elbe, because, although they were childless, they were very fond of children, sociable and told people about their adventurous lives, even in public lectures. After the death, the longtime couple was buried by the Mordhorst family in Neuenkirchen. The estate was bequeathed to Gabriel, Ferdinand and Ilse, Margarethe Mordhorst, Neuenkirchen, Dorfstraße 46. After their death in 2000 and 2004, they were laid with the Badrihayes.
