Müllner-Peter

The Müllner-Peter (only known picture)

The Müllner-Peter von Sachrang , bourgeois Peter Hueber or Peter Huber (born June 29, 1766 in Aschach near Sachrang; † August 19, 1843 ibid) was a musician and universal scholar in addition to his work as a miller.

Life

The musically talented son of the millers Georg and Margarethe Huber was the fifth of eight children in Sachrang-Aschach. He was supposed to be studying and becoming a pastor. There is no evidence of any training at the Jesuit grammar school in Munich. Since Huber was friends with the Munich city musician Georg Augustin Holler and this was a music teacher at the Ducal Marian State Academy in Munich, he could have been his private student. High school education in the Weyarn or Herrenchiemsee monasteries would have been possible. In any case, Huber acquired an unusual level of education. In 1797 he became choirmaster and organist at the Sachranger parish church. In 1809 he took over the parental farm and the parental grain mill. He also worked as a choir director and organist. Huber was an excellent musician who mastered several instruments. His extensive collection of notes, the so-called “Sachranger Notenschatz”, is kept in the music department of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich and was made known and accessible through a highly regarded exhibition in 1972/73. This gave the Oberaudorf church musician Hans Berger and others like Unterwössen choir regent Jochen Langer the opportunity to perform and edit music from the collection. The extensive music collection, mostly written by Huber himself, contains copies of sacramental and instrumental music by 48 composers of the time, but only about six of Huber's own compositions. The inventory includes around 100 trade fairs and over 100 works by Munich's town musician Georg Augustin Holler .

In addition to his work as a miller and musician, Müllner-Peter also worked as a healer, obstetrician and surgeon, had his own pharmacy and dealt with astronomy and linguistic research. Among other things, two extensive manuscripts with medicinal recipes from that time are preserved in his estate.

On October 25, 1813, he married the stubborn 31-year-old daughter of the neighboring farmer, Maria Hell, known as Marei, who, according to legend, was more drawn to handicrafts and making music than to the household. The marriage failed and remained childless. On July 19, 1824, Marei drowned in a flood in the Prien .

Mount of Olives Chapel

After the death of his wife, Peter Huber adopted his nephew Joseph Auer, began to get increasingly involved in the 17th century Ölbergkapelle on the Tyrolean border, which was threatened with decay , and had it renovated. The previously popular pilgrimage to the Mount of Olives was revived after the chapel was benedicted in 1827, but was forgotten again after his death in 1850. The existence of a French miller's servant who is said to have supported Huber in his restoration work has not been proven.

From 1817 the Müllner Peter was repeatedly elected as Sachranger community leader. He died in 1843. His grave is still next to the portal of the Sachranger St. Michaels Church.

Aftermath

The memory of the “mountain village genius” was kept alive by the notes of the Sachranger teacher and local researcher Hanns Heininger, who recorded his story for Peter Huber's great-niece. Building on this, the novel by the writer Carl Oskar Renner Der Müllner Peter von Sachrang , which was published in 1972, was created. The Bayerische Rundfunk filmed the life of the Muellner-Peter titled Sachrang in 1977. Well-known actors like Gerhart Lippert as Muellner-Peter, gustl bayrhammer or Bernd Helfrich and the original set tangible rank ensured 39,850,000 viewers for the first showing of the three-part home movie in 1978. In 2001, the Müllner-Peter-Museum was built with an exhibition on rural life over the past centuries in the old Sachrang schoolhouse.
