Ferdinand Zacchi (born August 27, 1884 in Wyk auf Föhr , † September 19, 1966 there ) was a German writer and journalist .

Life

After attending school, he made a vocational training for printers and then started after a few years of traveling in 1911 working as a journalist and was over time as editor- in Suhl , Lübeck , Bordesholm ( Nordic home Verlag ) and Neumünster operates.

In his literary works, Zacchi dealt in particular with northern Germany and the Low German language . In 1916 he and Paul Denker published a warm Christmas greeting from home , before he was the editor of the weekly newspaper Plattdütsche Klock between 1919 and 1941 .

Then Freerk Frandsen's blood appeared. A homeland novel from the Uthlanden (1920, 2nd edition 1922, 3rd edition 1936), which was already shaped by a German-Völkisch folk ideology. In the book, in which the German- Danish struggle for descent after the First World War is described, real Frisianism is fulfilled in the German spirit .

Other books were Hillig is din Modersprak! (1920), Klaar Kimming (1921), De ole Klang (1922), Un achter duster Wulken liggt de golln Sünn ... (1924, 2nd edition 1928), Die liebe Not (1924) and Freygeboren (1926).

In addition, Zacchi, who was also a co-founder of the Plattdüütschen Volksgill in Lübeck, was from 1932 to 1945 publishing director of the Wachholtz Verlag in Neumünster, a specialist publisher for North German culture , local and regional studies , history , archeology and the Low German language.

His last book People by the Sea. A North Sea Book of Defiance and Loyalty (1934, 2nd edition 1939) was published by Franz-Eher-Verlag , the central publishing house of the NSDAP . It takes up the motif of the construction of the Hindenburgdamm and discussed it as controversially as in Margarete Boie's novel Dammbau from 1930.
