Michl Huber

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michl Huber (born December 31, 1842 in Munich ; † July 10, 1881 there ) was a German folk singer from Bavaria.

Life

Michl Huber came from a Haidhausen innkeeper family. Since his father became impoverished, Michl could not take over the family restaurant, but had to earn his living as a bricklayer . At the latest since the birth of his first daughter in 1867, he was first mentioned in a document as the “folk singer from here”. With his first wife Johanna (1847–1871) he had four children. In his second marriage he was born in 1874 with Maria Huber. Hallik (1838 - after 1884), with whom he appeared on stage for many years. Appearances by the Huber Society are documented in Munich from 1869 at the latest, with other partners such as Berg, Etmayer, Nussbaum and Deininger being named as contributors. Folk singers who later became famous, such as Jakob “Papa” Geis and Christian Seidenbusch , also joined him in their early days. From 1878 Huber called himself “Singspieldirektor” and his company “1. Münchner Theater chantant ”, which had 18 members, nine singers and nine musicians. In 1881 Huber died at the age of 39 after “10 weeks of suffering” in the madhouse of “ rage ”. His grave in the old Haidhauser cemetery has not been preserved.

Michl Huber wrote over 280 couplets , including the Nockherberg song and the Munich-based text version of the original Viennese song Solang der alten Peter . Huber's repertoire estate is now located in the Munich city archive as part of the estate of the music dealer and music publisher Johann Baptist Westermair (1860 - after 1917) .

His only surviving son, Georg Huber (1869–1930) followed in his footsteps and became a composer and pianist on the Munich folk singer scene. He composed songs a. a. for Papa Geis and Weiß Ferdl .
