Julius Thannhauser

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julius Thannhauser (born February 5, 1860 in Munich ; † 1921 ) was a German hatter and humorist.

Life

Thannhauser was born on February 5, 1860 in Munich, the son of tobacco merchant Abraham Thannhauser and his wife Josepha, née Schulmann. Here he attended school and completed an apprenticeship in hatmaking. He then went into business for himself and from 1886 ran a thriving hat shop at Rindermarkt No. 7 in Munich. He married Henriette Kaufmann, who was born in Cologne, and had four children with her.

As a sideline, Thannhauser, who was known for his native Bavarian dialect, appeared as a humorist. In his capacity as a Krügel speaker he made a name for himself beyond the borders of Munich. Especially during the carnival season he was often engaged to masked balls and beer evenings. He was also the founder and member of the “Great Munich Carnival Society”, which held its first redoubt on January 9, 1897 in the Deutsches Theater .

Before the First World War, Thannhauser also made guest appearances outside of his hometown and performed in Nuremberg , Leipzig , Berlin , Cologne and Hamburg . During the war he was responsible for looking after the troops and looking after the wounded.

Thannhauser wrote most of his repertoire himself, as was the custom among folk singers. It consisted of joke poems, parodies and humorous beer speeches. The humor he displayed was cozy and not hurtful. On the occasion of his death, the “Münchener Neuesten Nachrichten” wrote that they had valued his “humor, paired with deep seriousness, from the depths of the heart”.

Thannhauser died in Munich on October 28, 1921. He was buried in the old Israelite cemetery because he was of the Mosaic faith.

Julius Thannhauser left four of his lectures on gramophone record. Today they are considered to be early and therefore valuable evidence of the art of the old Munich folk singers.

During the pogrom night staged by the National Socialists in 1938, the shop windows of the Thannhauser hat shop on the Rindermarkt were smashed. Thannhauser's daughter Josephine, who was born in Munich on August 27, 1887, was a victim of the shoah in 1942 , a year later her cousin, born on October 14, 1888, who was a violinist and was also called Josephine.
