Life

He worked as a local editor in his hometown, was part of the editorial team of the Bamberger Volksblatt and the Schaulade . As early as the early 1930s, the Bavarian Radio broadcast dialect lectures by the author, who began his native poetry at a young age. However, book publications did not follow until the 1950s. In 1971 and 1972 Hans Morper produced the long-playing records Lachendes Bamberg and Lachendes Bamberg 2 together with the Singgemeinschaft Gartenstadt. His most famous pieces, including the Oberhaider pilgrimage , were preserved for posterity in the original lecture on these sound carriers . They are now available again on CD.
