Hermann fresh beer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann Frischbier (born January 10, 1823 in Königsberg i. Pr. , † December 8, 1891 ibid) was a German teacher and regional historian of East Prussia .

Life

After he had passed the exam at the teacher’s seminar in 1842, Frischbier was a teacher in Guttstadt and Heilsberg and, since 1853, in Königsberg. From 1872 to 1889 he was the rector of the old town girls' school.

Grown up in a bricklayer's house that spoke Low German , he was familiar with the language and the customs and traditions of East Prussia . His treatises appeared in the Altpreußische monthly , the journal for German philology , in Die deutscher Mundarten , in the correspondence sheet of the Association for Low German Linguistics , in the scientific monthly sheets and in the folklore journals Am Urdsbrunnen and Am Urquell . With numerous employees, Frischbier significantly promoted Prussian folklore .

"Through them (Frischbier's works) the old Prussian people's treasure trove of proverbs, rhymes and provincialisms is by and large exhausted."

- Jan Karol Sembrzycki

The Masurian Jan Karol Sembrzycki praised Frischbier's dedication to Polish folklore - even "in times of the grimest Poland-eating" - although Frischbier barely spoke the Polish language .
