Aschaffenburg kumbeer
The Kumbeer is - next to the Maulaff - an Aschaffenburg original, captured in numerous pictures by Adalbert Hock . The men of the Aschaffenburg fishermen's guild were called kumbeers in the town, they lived with their families in the fishermen's quarter. The name is probably taken from the French “compère” (godfather) in the Mainz dialect , but it is a special Ascheberscher expression.
The local poet Gustav Trockenbrodt describes the Fischergässer original in his “Ascheberger Sprüch” as follows: “Just like the Frankfurter his Sachsenhäuser, so the Aschaffenburger has his Fischergässer, called 'Kumbeer' in the Aschaffenburg dialect , the rugged but good-natured fisherman and boatman on the Maine , which in earlier times also differed from the actual townspeople due to various peculiarities of the dialect ...

Uff de Mäbrück
In the worst midday sun
leans there against de Mäbrück 'drunne
Faul en Kumbeer, hot' en Kloube
very schepp in his mouth and
the fist 'deep in the sack, he
warms the aage lid;
And
so he sleeps in the Sunne
Uff de bridge parapet. ...
( Kloube = tobacco pipe, schepp = crooked)
A Fischgässer boy remembered: “When I was fishing with my father on the Main, another fisherman came towards us with his boat. Who is that, the boy asked his father: 'Des is de Kumbeer', not a Kumbeer, but a Kumbeer, and Philipp Orschler, guild master of the Aschaffenburg fishing guild (first mentioned in 1561), embodied a man with a pipe in the 1920 / 30s (Kloube) in the mouth, really grabbing at work, technically competent, at the regulars' table a philosopher, a fox, a rascal - ewe en kumbeer. "
In the meantime the peculiarities have been lost and the special dialect and its way of expression have disappeared in the fishing district. What remains is the Kumbeer a popular figure in Aschaffenburg carnival in the representation of Philip "Fipp" Fox on the stage of CCC Carneval Club Concordia. He has embodied the Fischergässer original since 1991, when Günther Kolb died, who as "Maulaff" had become the symbol of the Aschaffenburg Carnival .
Oddities
Rather tragic: the Kumbeer Philipp Orschler had a helper named Jean Pleiber, a so-called French foreign worker , during the Second World War . In the spring of 1944, the two of them got caught in a vortex during a fishing trip at the Obernau river power station - their boat capsized and both drowned. Thus death united the Ascheberger Kumbeer with his French compère .
