Hilmar Mückenberger
Hilmar Mückenberger (born January 26, 1855 in Eibenstock , † May 14, 1937 in Plauen ) was a Vogtland-Erzgebirge folk musician and composer. His song: Mei Vogtland is wunersche became a kind of national anthem of the Vogtland , similar to the Vuglbärbaam by August Max Schreyer in the Ore Mountains.
Life
Born in the Ore Mountains , Mückenberger was an apprentice musician in Kirchberg after finishing school . There he composed the Kirchberger Schützen-March at the age of 16 . In 1876 he went to Plauen in the Vogtland as a musician and became a member of the town band. Until his death he lived - with a short interruption during his military service as oboist with the regimental band of the Karlsruhe body grenadiers led by Adolf Boettge - in the "capital" of the Saxon Vogtland, first as a musician, then as an innkeeper. Mückenberger managed the "Bürgergarten" in Annenstrasse (1894 to 1904). During this time he wrote his funniest songs. Mückenberger distributed handwritten notes and texts for his songs, which he accompanied on the piano himself. Mückenberger later gave up the catering trade and became a publisher of his own works. The place was destroyed in the bombing of World War II.
Mückenberger dedicated a street to his hometown Plauen in the Neundorf settlement . His grave in Cemetery I is a listed building.
Works
As an innkeeper, Hilmar Mückenberger began to write his first funny songs and distribute them to his guests on slips of paper. He soon got the idea of how Anton Günther and Hans Soph should sell his songs on postcards. 37 song postcards had appeared by 1935 . It can be assumed that no more were added in the remaining two years of life.
The first card 's Bärbele was published by Kunstverlag Wilhelm Vogel , Schwarzenberg i. Sa. in a song postcard series by various authors.
Probably from 1910 Mückenberger published Liederkartenverlag H. Mückenberger, Plauen i. V. probably produced another 36 different cards of his own songs with music notations and foreign color collages, which led to the rapid spread of his songs. However, the illustration was controversial. The colored images - black and white photographs, often heavily exaggerated except for individual faces - were described by critics as tasteless, even inferior, although they were extraordinarily original and sold well. The publishing house was located at 31 Reissiger Strasse in Plauen, probably Mückenberger's address at the time. Mückenberger also sold sheet music for guitar, piano and zither accompaniment there in music books and wrote a number of pieces of music for orchestra.
A number of his songs also appeared on shellac records.
Mückenberger also founded a singing and playing group in Plauen in 1878, the “Klimperkasten” association, for which he wrote 12 plays in the Vogtland dialect (some in the Ore Mountains) with vocal interludes. The plays, actually singspiele with four to five acts, were only available in handwriting during Mückenberger's lifetime and were lent personally by him. According to Mückenberger, the Mühlchristel with 135 and Der Quarkbauer or Maneuver im Vogtland with 128 performances were the best sellers until 1933 .
The Vogtland song
The secret hymn of the Vogtland is the song Dort wu duochs Land the Elster flows. (Mei Vogtland is wonderful) by Hilmar Mückenberger. It comes from the Singspiel die Mühl-Christl, which was probably created around 1880:
That is
where the Elster flows in dorch's country, there we come, you people,
greetings to my Vogtland,
you are my pride, my joy!
My Vogtland is wonderful,
it doesn't do anything go over Vogtland!
Songs on song postcards
With the song postcards, Mückenberger distinguished between typical Vogtland tunes as well as Erzgebirge and High German songs. In addition, some war and soldier songs appeared in the First World War .
The exact number of cards and the order in which they were published remain unknown as the publications were not numbered.
In official publications such as “Calendar for the Ore Mountains and the Rest of Saxony”, 1936; Page 32 and in the “Glückauf!” Of the Erzgebirgsverein from 1937 it is written: “By 1935 35 cards appeared in Mückenberger's own publishing house”. This does not seem entirely correct, because in this list alone there are now 37 song postcards.
