Gottfried Lattermann
Johann Gottfried Lattermann (born July 7, 1879 in Morgenröthe , † November 11, 1950 in Sorga ) was an Erzgebirge- Vogtland hammer gentleman and dialect poet.
Life
As the child of a well-known hammer family, Lattermann took over the management of the Morgenröthe hammer mill in the Western Ore Mountains , which politically belonged to the Vogtland after the death of his father in 1909 . Gottfried Lattermann completed his matriculation examination at the Zwickau Realgymnasium, then served a year with the 9th Royal Saxon Infantry Regiment No. 133 in Zwickau before he began an apprenticeship at the Wernesgrüner Brewery. He graduated from the Agricultural University Weihenstephan in Freising in Upper Bavaria.
After he took over the Morgenröthe hammer mill, a recognized bell foundry, in 1909 in the fourth generation, he married Ida Liddy, nee, in Werdau in the same year. Kretzschmar.
In his free time he devoted himself to poetry in the dialect of the Western Ore Mountains . So probably ten songs emerged from his pen, the most famous of which is Dr Schwamma-Marsch , which is very similar to the songs of Anton Günther and has often been ascribed to him. This song was written in 1918 when Lattermann was in the auxiliary hospital in Aue.
After the Second World War, his hammer mill was expropriated without compensation. Lattermann ran his hammer mill until June 1, 1946. He cast many of the well-known slabs of the memorial stones for Anton Günther . In April 1947 he moved into an attic of the Sorga manor near Auerbach, where he died three years later.
