Remarks

The piece, which is located in the Lower German area, was taken over by the northern German broadcasters, among others, by the Bavarian radio and broadcast on radio and television. The plot was shifted to Bavarian, and the characters were given names that better fit the local image. For example, the farmer Lampken became Leonhard Sterff and his farmhand Hinnerk became farmhand Sepp.

In the ARD radio play database, the following text can be read on the radio play Wenn de Hahn kreiht from 1977: “The Oldenburg playwright August Hinrichs (1879 to 1956) is neither one of the 'classics' nor one of the 'pioneers' of the Low German theater , but if you wanted to make a list of the most successful Low German playwrights, his name would be at the top by a long way before any other. In the twenties and thirties he was one of the most played playwrights; his pieces were played all over Germany and abroad, and even the film took on his works ('Krach um Jolanthe'). Even today, his comedies - whether they are presented in the Low German language on the stage or in ' Missingsch ' on the screen - are still very popular. August Hinrichs owes this success, which has now lasted for several decades, above all to his craftsmanship and his unerring instinct for comic material. "

Movie and TV

The comedy was filmed by Carl Froelich and had its premiere on August 18, 1934.
