Life

In the East Frisian "exile" in Emden (1977–1991), Hussong discovered his love for the Rhineland-Franconian (Palatinate) dialect and in 1991 published a Saar-Palatinate dialect dictionary. After his return to Saarland , he was initially the author and editor of the home calendar “Snapshots”. In 1997 Hussong produced the CD “E weider Wää noo Bethlehem” as a copywriter and speaker, the Christmas story based on the Gospel of Luke. In 2001 the second CD followed, “Das doo fangt joo gut an” (The Saarland creation story from the Big Bang to the Flood). In 2004 the CD “Nix wie lauder Huddel” was released, with excerpts from the dialect cabaret programs with which Günther Hussong has been publicizing as “de Plattmacher” since 2001.

He represented the Rhine Franconian dialect (Saarland and Palatinate) at the central celebration for the Day of German Unity 2006 in Kiel as part of the event "Germany in Dialect".
