Bernhard Möking

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernhard Möking (born February 5, 1901 in Konstanz ; † July 9, 1988 there ) was a German German studies scholar and librarian.

Live and act

Möking was the son of a Konstanz master baker. After training as a bookseller in Munich, he studied German, English, history and art history in Munich and Heidelberg. In 1929 he finished his studies with a German dissertation on the language of the Reichenau fisherman, supervised by Friedrich Panzer , which was published in 1934 in the writings of the Association for the History of Lake Constance and its Surroundings . After a brief job as a magazine editor at the “Deutsches Theaterdienst” in Berlin, he took over the feature section of the “Konstanzer Zeitung” in 1933, which was discontinued in 1936 by the National Socialists. The city of Konstanz then entrusted him with the construction of a municipal public library, which he managed until his retirement in the rank of senior library councilor in 1967, interrupted by military service and British captivity.

Möking's most successful publication is his collection of "Sagen und Schwänke vom Bodensee", which appeared for the first time in 1938 and was published nine times by 2003, partly with drawings by Sepp Biehler and photographs by Heinz Finke . Möking was a member of the board of a scientific lecture group that invited humanities and natural scientists to Konstanz in the decades before the university was founded ; from 1952 to 1962 he also represented the state of Baden on the board of the Association for the History of Lake Constance and its surroundings .
