Poem "Lipperts Josef" by Horst Hohl in Moelfränkisches dialect

The Beldemer Lippert (Moselle Franconian, "Beltheimer Lippert", bourgeois: Josef Lippert; * January 17, 1888 in Sevenich ; † February 8, 1963 in Beltheim ) was a well-known small goods dealer in the Hunsrück who, with his two baskets attached to the yoke , was sometimes It also regularly supplied the villages in the Vorderhunsrück with household goods with two zinc buckets or a wheelbarrow . When he wasn't on a sales spree, he lived in Beltheim, where he lived in a very dilapidated house near what is now the youth home. After his death the house was demolished. He sold his goods for penny amounts and was very careful: he did not allow a penny to be given or bargained for , and he always returned the exact change that he kept sorted in tin cans in the pockets of his jackets.

The Beldemer Lippert wore several jackets on top of each other throughout the year. So that he could adapt to the heat or cold, he buttoned one of the jackets and then said, regarding the weather: “Hout es et wirra ane jacket källa woar!” (Moselle Franconian, “Today it got a jacket colder again ! ")

The best-known story of him probably comes from a market day in Kastellaun during the Third Reich : He is said to have advertised the herrings he brought with him for sale with the slogan “Hering, su fett wie de Göring !” And was expelled from the marketplace for this. When he offered his herrings again the following week, he called out: “Herring, herrings as fat as the last mole!” However, the real truth of this story is also doubted.

A circular hiking trail is named after the Beldemer Lippert , the so-called Lippertsweg , which was inaugurated on September 16, 2018.
