Ludwig Rühle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig Rühle (born June 19, 1895 in Nenderoth , † 1967 in Weilburg ) was a German dialect and native poet in Central Hesse.

Life

Ludwig Rühle was born as the youngest child of five siblings and grew up in a smallholder family. After his confirmation, Ludwig Rühle began a banking apprenticeship in Weilburg. His job later took him from Weilburg via Limburg to Frankfurt , where he worked in the commercial auditing department of the city administration. After successful self-study at the university, he finally passed the auditor exam . In Bremen he worked as an auditor for large international companies. After retiring, he returned to his homeland and set up his retirement home in Weilburg, where he also died.

subjects

At the beginning of the thirties of the last century, three narrow volumes of poems in Central Hessian dialect appeared. They stood out from the folk tinkering and the blood-and-soil mysticism that was common at the time , which was characteristic of the native literature of those days. The topics revolved around work in the fields in the changing seasons, old and young, characters and originals, joys and sorrows . It encompassed the wide range of village life, which is presented with sensitivity and understanding and in nuanced language. His poetry is characterized by humor and an occasional sense of the grotesque.

After 1945 these poems were largely forgotten, their author, Ludwig Rühle, was stuck in his middle-class occupation. The poet from Nenderoth, who had dreamed that, as he once admitted, he wanted to become a second Peter Rosegger , died in Weilburg in 1967. An initiative in his home village of Nenderoth has decided to preserve his memory and make him known to a wider public.
