The second edition from 1904 was illustrated by the Aschaffenburg painter Adalbert Hock . After a trip to Italy, Gustav Trockenbrodt fell ill and died in Rosenheim in 1904 at the age of 34. He was buried in the family grave in the Aschaffenburg old town cemetery. A street in Aschaffenburg is named after him.

Text sample from "Ascheberger Sprüch '", (1900)

Greetings to Ascheberg

I see my country, cute, sunny, peaceful,

I see my Ascheberg, so kloor, so wonderfully,

I see my Landsleit funny and rentable,

Hipp my heart in front of Frääd, houch up!

I know every street, every house,

I know every baam and mountain

Kä Wunner! It's my home!

It's my Ascheberg!
