life and work

The kitchen and cellar master

Heinz Sausele was born as the son of a long-established Weikersheim vineyard family and attended children's and elementary school there . After attending the teachers' seminars in Tempelhof near Crailsheim and Künzelsau , he was initially a “teaching assistant” and then a “sub-teacher” in Ilshofen . From 1892 to 1927 Sausele taught as a senior teacher at the elementary and agricultural school in Hall am Kocher , where he co-founded the later open-air theater in Schwäbisch Hall . In the last years of his life, Heinz Sausele devoted himself increasingly to field name research. His last major work was Hall's field name collection .

He dedicated a cycle of poems to the dwarf gallery at Schloss Weikersheim from the following verse:

THE KITCHEN AND CELLAR MASTER
He was the court's kitchen master and looked after
the cellar's ghosts,
the ham on the left and the right, the mug;
he was indeed a joyful drinker,
the old wine and young women
the very best pastimes.

Heinz Sausele wrote several hundred poems, numerous songs and around 20 plays. From the 1890s onwards, he first published his works himself, whereby his poems "as a witty dialect poet were more popular than with his dramatic attempts ...".

The ensemble of the play Die Rabichshofer , 1937

His first play, Florian Geyer, performed in 1913, about the figure of the leader of the Black Pile at the time of the Peasants' War, was followed by other plays that dealt with historical events in his homeland and celebrated mainly local successes in the imperial city of Hall am Kocher. Only a few of his works achieved notable national success. With his traditional material from German history he was too closely connected to historicism to be successful on the contemporary stage. His last drama Die Rabichshofer , which tells an episode from the Thirty Years War , was commissioned by the Weikersheim City Council . It was successfully performed in 1935 and 1937 on the occasion of the traditional Weikersheimer Kärwe festival . It ends with the words “Heil! Germany! Heil! ” The fulfillment of his message from the“ Heimatspiel ” “ Everywhere in German districts; Desert and the horror of death. Protected 'poisoned' the wells, farms 'and towns' burn. ” He did not live to see it again after his death in 1938 in a hospital in Hall.
