Hanns Glückstein

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hanns Glückstein (born May 10, 1888 in Völklingen , † May 19, 1931 in Ludwigshafen am Rhein ) was a German poet. He published mainly in Palatinate dialect .

Life

Glückstein grew up in the West Palatinate . When he was seven years old, his parents moved with him to Mannheim . Until 1903 he attended the Grand Ducal Realgymnasium here. He then completed an apprenticeship at Rheinschiffahrt AG before he was employed in 1906 by the Süddeutsche Disconto-Gesellschaft - a forerunner of Deutsche Bank . In 1919 he became an authorized signatory and in 1923 director.

In 1910 Glückstein published his first book Mannemer Schbrich unn Kinnerbosse , following his model Karl Gottfried Nadler in Palatinate dialect:

“What about the sun is gossiping,
Everything is still in the dark,
M'r heert so much on the day, The
far-off puzzles are murmuring.
[..] "

In the following years he published poems regularly in regional newspapers and in books. During the First World War he worked on the war magazine Vogesenwacht and published in its publishing house Die Pälzer Buwe unn de Krieg (1917), Die Pälzer Mädle unn de Krieg (1917) and Kriegs-Schnooke from de sunnig Palz (1918). His most productive period was the 1920s, when one volume was published annually. Even after his untimely death in 1931, Glückstein was not forgotten. His Singspiel Lindenwirtin, du Junge was performed until shortly before the outbreak of World War II. After the war, newspapers and radio commemorated him. His works continued to be published until the very recent past. His estate is in the Mannheim City Archives .

The city of Mannheim named a path in the Neckarstadt in 1963 , a square in the Lindenhof district in 1990, and a street and the Glückstein district after Hanns Glückstein in 2011 .
