Hans Vollrath Kirsch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Vollrath Kirsch (born August 15, 1886 in Rostock , † April 4, 1953 in Graal-Müritz ) was a German poet and landscape painter .

Life

Kirsch had lived in Graal-Müritz on the Baltic Sea since 1904 , where he performed Low German rhymes at weddings and family celebrations that he had written himself. His poems were printed in some north German newspapers. Kirsch also worked as a landscape painter and exhibited his works in a pavilion in Graal-Müritz a few years after the end of the First World War .

In 1920 he published his work Revolutschon in Graal: fun stuff ut 'ne narsche Tid , which he completed with twelve drawings. He benefited from the fact that he lived in the immediate vicinity of the landscape painter Karl Rettich, who supported him with his drawings. A home book from Graal-Müritz is considered lost.

His drawings and paintings are also thought to have been lost, as the community leadership gave instructions after his death to dispose of all of Kirsch's furnishings. Kirsch was considered an anti-fascist and came to a concentration camp at the time of National Socialism because he recommended to a tour group in Graal-Müritz when visiting the Rostock Heath in the 1930s that they no longer differentiate between roe deer and stag, but rather call it "red deer" .

His life is now being honored with a small exhibition in the local history museum in Graal-Müritz. A path in the community was also named after him, the Vollrath-Kirsch-Weg .
