Gottlob Haag ring of honor
The Gottlob-Haag-Ehrenring or just Gottlob-Haag-Ring is an award for cultural workers in the Hohenlohe region .
The award in the form of a ring was passed on from one award winner to the next in an irregular change over several years without fixed regulations. The ring is reminiscent of the Hohenlohe dialect poet Gottlob Haag and is intended to "encourage cultural workers in this region from all areas to trust their own creativity." The idea of passing on is based on the Iffland-Ring . Each wearer received a replica of the original ring with his or her initials from the goldsmith Helmut Frauenberger as the donor of the ring. Frauenberger died in Bad Mergentheim in May 2017 .
Ring bearer
- Thank God Haag
The goldsmith Helmut Frauenberger, born in 1943, from Vienna and living in Bad Mergentheim , created the ring in 1994 and adored it to Gottlob Haag, who lives in the Niederstetten district of Wildentierbach and who is related to him in his love of the dialect, as the first wearer.
- Arno Boas
Haag passed the ring on to Arno Boas . The publisher , who lives in the Finsterlohr district of Creglingen, has made a name for himself in dialect and amateur theater with his theater publisher Arno Boas with over 40 authors. As the author of numerous popular theater pieces , he leaves the world premiere rights of his works to the amateur theater association Reinsbronner Bühnenzinnober .
- Norbert Bach
Arno Boas decided not to pass the ring on to an artist, but to the “culture facilitator” Norbert Bach. According to Boas, the head of the cultural office of Niederstetten has made a name for himself as the person responsible for the Hohenlohe Theater Days and the cultural offerings that are relatively broad for a small town.
- Roland Bauer
Norbert Bach passed the ring on to the photographer Roland Bauer , who lives in the hamlet of Winterberg near Braunsbach . With his photo book Die Bäuerliche Traditions die mit die alten Menschen , which received the Kodak Photo Book Prize in 1983, Bauer published an important documentation of dying traditional rural and artisanal ways of life in Hohenlohe.
- Heide Ruopp
The ring moved from Bauer to Heide Ruopp in 2011. Has made a special contribution to "of impulses of the historical and cultural association Langenburg" to the memory of the bestseller -author yesteryear Agnes Günther and from Langenburg coming writer and satirist Karl Julius Weber .
- Manfred Kern
In 2013 Ruopp passed the ring on to the writer Manfred Kern, who was born in Rothenburg ob der Tauber , grew up in Wettringen and lives in Coburg . Since 1989, Kern has been publishing books in high-level language and dialect "as a close literary relative of Gottlob Haag" - occasionally also in two languages. His book Meine Oma , published in 2013, uses the example of his grandmother , who was born in 1884 and died in 1971, to describe life in the village during the National Socialist era .
- Thilo Pohle
In 2016 the documentary filmmaker Thilo Pohle received the ring from Manfred Kern on behalf of the documentary film group of the Oskar-von-Miller secondary school in Rothenburg ob der Tauber . Pohle and his film group have been active since the early 1980s. They became known, for example, with the films When Peace Was Already So Close! (2001) about the men from Brettheim and When the pictures are already fading ... Theresienstadt Concentration Camp - Propaganda Film and Reality (2005).
