Lina summer
Lina Sommer born Müller, (born July 8, 1862 in Speyer , † July 27, 1932 in Karlsruhe ) was a Palatinate dialect poet. In 1887 she married the widower Adolph Sommer, who was over 20 years older than she and who died in December 1904. Six children were born, three of whom died very early.
She loved her Palatinate and dedicated numerous poems to her . She lived in the southern Palatinate town of Jockgrim and spent her childhood in Speyer and her youth in Mannheim , Heidelberg and Würzburg . She spent her twilight years in Karlsruhe, where the Lina summer system was built in her memory . Her grave can be found in Jockgrim today.
Today in Jockgrim there is the Lina-Sommer-Grundschule, a Lina-Sommer-Platz, a Lina-Sommer-Stube and a Lina-Sommer-Weg, which leads right through Jockgrim and is peppered with little poetry tablets. She lived in Jockgrim from 1919 to 1923 before she went to the Diakonissenstift in Karlsruhe, where she died. Since March 2007 a senior citizens' home of the AWO Pfalz in Jockgrim has also been named after Lina Sommer.
In 2008 the play "A summer evening - life and work of the Palatinate dialect poet Lina Sommer" was premiered by the NonnensuselTheater in Pleisweiler-Oberhofen. In April and June 2009 there were further performances in Jockgrim.
