Goggolori

This article deals with the Bavarian legend. For the opera by Wilfried Hiller and Michael Ende see Der Goggolori .

The Goggolori or Goggolore is a Bavarian literary legend figure.

Prior to Otto Reuther's book Der Goggolore (1935), there are only vague testimonies to the figure , which was certainly incorrectly traced back to the Celtic period . It was Reuther's creation that made the goblin-like creature that he located on Lake Ammersee popular.

Reuther's old Bavarian village history disguises itself as a reproduction of traditional stories. Therefore, the Federal Court of Justice felt compelled to dismiss a copyright lawsuit brought by Reuther's heirs against the writer Michael Ende (BGH, GRUR 1991, p. 456 - Goggolore).

Michael Ende wrote the libretto for the opera The Goggolori . A Bavarian fairy tale with music written in Bavarian dialect . The name Goggolori is best known today through this opera, for which Wilfried Hiller composed the music (first performance on February 3, 1985, Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz in Munich ).

Carl Orff , Hiller's teacher, had the goblin Goggolori perform in Astutuli , a Bavarian comedy (made in 1947/49) .

Johannes Reitmeier's folk piece da Goggolore is strongly based on Reuther's version .
