Life

Hans Blädel was born on August 18, 1871 in Sulzbürg in the Upper Palatinate. His father was a locksmith by trade. After school, Hans learned the shoemaker's trade. As a young man interested in music, he joined the Stadtpfeiferei in Eichstätt , where he learned to master several musical instruments and became a folk singer. During an engagement in Augsburg , he also met his future wife. Anderl Welsch heard the two of them and hired them for his folk singer society in Munich . Together with Robert Lang they became a family company, to which Blädel's sons Hans and Georg (Schorsch) later joined. The latter continued the folk singer tradition until after the Second World War. For many years Hans Blädel worked at the Apollo Theater in Munich, of which he was temporarily director.
