Hermann Hagedorn (local poet)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann Hagedorn (born August 20, 1884 in Borbeck-Gerschede ; † March 7, 1951 at Fretter , Finnentrop community ) was a German teacher and local poet . He became known above all because he used the old Lower Saxon dialect in Borbeck and the surrounding area , Borbecksch , and wrote numerous poems and stories in this dialect .

Life

Hagedorn was born on August 20, 1884 in Borbeck-Gerschede. His mother was called Maria Katharina, his father Johann Hagedorn. His parents' house (in today's Hugo-Knippen-Strasse ), the "olle Hüsken", as he called it, housed a small inn where the farmers and later the miners drank their beers and schnapps after their shift. The experiences there were later reflected in his poems.

He attended elementary school in Dellwig and then began his teacher training. He went to the rectorate school in Borbeck , followed by three years in Essen's prepandery (a preliminary stage of the seminar) from 1898 to 1901 . In the period 1902-1905 Hagedorn made his teacher training at the Royal Prussian teacher training college in Elten on the Lower Rhine . This was followed by the secondary school teacher examination in Düsseldorf and the rector examination in Koblenz .

After many years of teaching at schools in Gerschede and Dellwig, he became rector of the Essen-Frintrop Foundation School (Frintrop 2) in 1918 . He studied in Cologne and Bonn and in 1923, with the work The Idea of ​​the Labor School in the various phases of design by Sokrates-Plato, Comenius, Pestalozzi, Gaudig, Kerschensteiner, he became a Dr. phil. PhD . Hagedorn put the ideas of the educators Gaudig and Kerschensteiner into practice in Frintrop, where he stayed until his retirement. From 1918 to 1938 he also headed a pedagogical working group for teacher training.

Because of his hearing loss, he resigned from school work at his own request in May 1943 and retired to a hut near Fretter in the Sauerland . On the morning of March 7, 1951, on the morning of March 7, 1951, on the way to his hut, the sixty-six-year-old was struck by a train while crossing a railroad crossing and killed.

After his death

Even after his death, his poems were printed in the newspaper Borbecker Nachrichten and in the magazine of the Low German Association "De Pohlbörger". His fairy tale book Märchenzauber - Twölf Märchen opp platt found its way into school literature in the 1950s. The Reuenberger Borbeck association dedicated the Hagedornstein, a memorial stone , to Hagedorn shortly after his death . It is not far from Hagedorn's parents' house. The area around Hagedorn's birthplace, the Hagedorn Valley, and a street, the Hagedornstraße, were named after him. Several poems from the work Hatte on Heeme - Botterblaumen were spoken in 2007 by the Mitten in Borbeck group on the CD Borbecksch Platt - Heeme, wat häw ick di leiw . The title of the CD comes from the poem Heeme , which appeared in the work Hatte on Heeme . The Borbeck artist Andreas Koerner made a portrait of the poet in 2010.

Relationship to National Socialism

During the time of National Socialism , Hagedorn was the departmental leader for poetry within the NSDAP- Gauleitung Essen and was also a “regional consultant for dialect”. At this time he published various system-compliant works such as Friedrich Krupp in 1936 . The eternal German and in 1937 Krupp the fighter. A hero song . The latter was placed on the list of literature to be segregated after the end of the war in the Soviet occupation zone .

Works

Most of his works deal with the changing landscape of his surroundings, his experiences / memories and the development of the dialect. His later works in particular are characterized by a lot of humor. He wrote in Borbecksch, a Lower Saxon dialect that originated in the border area to the Lower Franconian language area, and High German .

An example:

Hermann Hagedorn - Plattdütsch (from "Fläutepiepen"; 1956)
Oh, what that Lü nech sows:
Plattdütsch sall utgestorwen si´en?
Because people can speak flat German?
Lo git mi met son nonsense defri´en!
Mack gave the Döppe oppen,
Then bet git, that Plattdütsch still lewt.

As deen äm alle Hogedütschen leed.

On dät värroh ick enk noch bowen dropp:
Dä plattdütsche Di'es send da - Ferken.

Reactions to Hagedorn's works

The Münsterland pastor Augustin Wibbelt , who lived at the time of Hagedorn and, like Hagedorn, was also a dialect poet , said about Hatte on Heeme :

... the double pulse that goes through all of these
Verse vibrates: a childishly warm, happy mind
and an intimate natural bliss in their teasing mood
and their strong folk humor
completely escapes the obvious danger of sentimentality.
An untouched purity, a dewy morning air blows through it
Poetry, a healthy piety,
who knows how to smile mischievously ...
