Tripe Daddeldu
Kuttel Daddeldu is a fictional character published in 1920 by the poet Joachim Ringelnatz .
The original
Daddeldu is a sailor's word for after work and sleep, borrowed from English: "That'll do" for "Nu 'is' aber ma' end!"
The grumpy sailor Kuttel Daddeldu appeared for the first time in the poem Vom Seemann Kuttel Daddeldu and was the main character in his volume of poems Kuttel Daddeldu or The Slippery Suffering in 1920 . In this work, the fur seal appeared in partially black-humored ballads and moritats , with which Ringelnatz also appeared on the cabaret stage in the 1920s and 1930s.
1931 appeared in the song cycle "Bänkerl und Balladen" by the composer Wilhelm Grosz "The Ballade Vom Seemann Kuttel-Daddeldu", for which Ringelnatz had written the text.
Ringelnatz wrote other texts about him in the 1920s. Triplet Daddeldu became popular, he and Ringelnatz gained fame. That changed with the Nazi performance ban, which Ringelnatz hits hard. He died sick and impoverished in Berlin in 1934.
The GDR Kuddeldaddeldu
In 1963, Hans Krause , cabaret writer in Berlin and head of the Distel cabaret , brought the seaman back to life and brought him to the GDR two years later. The first socialist Kuddeldaddeldu premiered in 1965 in the party newspaper Neues Deutschland . The Distel cabaret artist Heinz Draehn (1921-2010) portrayed him on stage throughout his life. The spelling "Kuddel" instead of "Kuttel" was originally a misprint in the Distel program booklet - it will be retained without further ado.
Krause writes almost 400 texts for the "agitation sailor with a fool's cap", as state and party leader Erich Honecker called him. From 1971 Kuddel appeared on radio and television, for example in Klock 8, Stern Strom and Ein Kessel Buntes . Krauses Kuddel had two faces: the cheeky fur seal and the praising greetings uncle. The latter was welcome at party conferences, the birthdays of the Republic, elections for the People's Chamber or on the 70th birthday of the chief ideologist Kurt Hager . The course changed in 1987: Krause Kuddel learned to criticize.
