Friedrich Ernst Peters (born  August 13, 1890 in Luhnstedt , †  February 18, 1962 in Schleswig ) was a German writer . For years, some of his poems were part of the school reading canon in Schleswig-Holstein. His Low German village chronicle Baasd Körper Krönk is one of the most important works in Low German .

Life

Friedrich Ernst Peters was born as the son of the master cooper Claus Peters and his wife Marie, née Struwe, the third of four children. He remained connected to his home village throughout his life: “My home is the Holstein village of Luhnstedt. I am so attached to him that even today my dreams have to use Luhnstedt's forests and meadows, its moors and heaths to build up their landscapes. ”With Baasd Körper Krönk (finished in 1932, published posthumously in 1976) he set a literary monument to Luhnstedt. In 1905 he began a six-year training course as a primary school teacher at the preparatory institute in Barmstedt and at the teachers' seminar in Uetersen , where he passed his first teacher examination in 1911. From 1911 to 1914 he was a teacher in Immenstedt , Merkendorf and Lürschau and completed his one-year military service in Lübeck from April 1912 to March 1913. Drafted in September 1914, he was taken prisoner by the French at the beginning of the war and was only able to return to Luhnstedt in 1920. In the same year he married the teacher Anny Warnsholdt (1892–1961), whom he had met in Immenstedt in 1911. From 1920 to 1922 he was an assistant teacher at the institution for the deaf and dumb in Schleswig. From 1922 to 1923 he completed additional training as a deaf-and-dumb teacher in Berlin and then continued to work in Schleswig at the state school for the deaf from 1923, where he was promoted to senior teacher for the deaf and dumb in 1927. In 1925 the only daughter was born.

Peters was able to continue publishing unhindered under National Socialism. His literary contacts included the National Socialist poet Hermann Claudius , who promoted him. In 1943 Claudius wrote the preface for the collection of poems Light Between Two Darks. In the 1930s he wrote poetry and short stories for the Catholic magazine Das Wort in der Zeit .

After the end of National Socialism, he became director of the state school for the deaf in Schleswig in 1946. He died on February 18, 1962 and is buried in Jevenstedt .

Friedrich Ernst Peters first volume of poems, death masks , appeared in 1934, but he had already started to write before that. His mother tongue was Low German. It was not until he was seven years old that he learned high German at school and then, if one believes his autobiographical work The Good Powers' Prize , he began to scribble poems and fairy tales on wrapping paper. He wrote down his memories of being a prisoner of war in France (1914–1920) as early as 1927. He described his time in France as the "high school" of his youth. “It made it possible for me to really live in a strange people, in their nature and literature; it also led to a first encounter with the English language and poetry. "

The Baasdkörper Krönk manuscript , probably his most important work, was created in the 1930s. The Krönk is considered to be the most important Low German novel since Johann Hinrich Fehrs ' Maren and continues research on Low German literature to this day. It is a chronicle of a Holstein village that underwent profound changes between 1900 and 1920 as a result of railway construction and Italian construction workers. The novel has autobiographical features. The setting is very similar to Luhnstedt, the birthplace of Friedrich Ernst Peters, so that the work can also be read as a key novel. In the reception, a polyphony of the novel, a renunciation of a continuous plot and the increased appearance of the personal versus the authorial narrative attitude were emphasized.

Another novel, also translated into High German, also addresses the fictional town of Baasdorf (the ironically exaggerated name is derived from Low German: Baas - the best): Die dröge Trina (1946). It is the further development of an episode from the Krönk , in the center of which stands the greedy Trina Dührsen.

Friedrich Ernst Peters wrote poems, novels, short stories, autobiographical texts, essays, literary criticism and translations from French. “Schleswig-Holstein is unmistakably present in his books, but through the magic of the word and the depth of the thoughts it is transformed into the general. Peters belongs to no school, no ism, he - and this is characteristic of him - shaped new thoughts of the time with the means of classical forms. ”An extensive correspondence testifies to lively contacts with writers and artists of his time, especially with the painter Hans Holtorf .

Peters was a member of the entire board of the Society for the German Language, which was then based in Lüneburg, and a member of the Presidium of the Theodor Storm Society in Husum.
