from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fritz Schopps (* around 1946) is a German carnivalist and handcrafted speaker who is widely known as Et Rumpelstilzche .

Life

Schopps studied mathematics , English and history to become a teacher and taught as a teacher at the Willy Brandt Comprehensive School in Cologne-Höhenhaus. He became known to a broad national audience through his involvement in the carnival. Together with Jürgen Bachem and Walter Heilmann founded Schopps the music group Ärm Söck that with titles like pineapple un ne Kölsch vum barrel and e ne car I want to e nem schwaze K occurred. Since 1983 he has been giving the latest news from the fairytale forest as a hand-made speaker in the figure of Rumpelstilzche (also: Rumpelstilzje ) with a wide-brimmed felt hat and has thus developed into one of the defining faces of the Cologne Carnival . Schopps has become known nationwide through the regular ARD broadcasts of the large carnival sessions on Rose Monday in Gürzenich in Cologne. This supraregional awareness is also expressed in various carnival compilations of the public broadcasters, in which Schopps appears on an equal footing with greats such as Hans Hachenberg , Hans Bols and the Colonia Duett . The Kölnische Rundschau even named Schopps in an article from January 23, 2012 one of "the most famous speakers of the Cologne Carnival" and in numerous articles such as on koelner-karneval.info, Schopps is in a row with the Bläck Fööss , the Höhnern and the Globetrotter zu counted among the hallmarks of the Cologne Carnival.

Since 2002 Schopps has received the honorary title Magister linguae et humoris Coloniensis (master of the Cologne language and Cologne humor) of the carnival association KG Fidele Aujusse Blau-Gold vun 1969 eV

Fritz Schopp's son Martin, who works as a teacher at a vocational school, is also a hand-made speaker at the carnival.
