Oskar Karich
Oskar Karich (born October 6, 1895 in Großbardau ; † April 1, 1959 there ) was a master cooper , entrepreneur and local writer in the Saxon Muldental near Grimma . His stories and poems on regional nature and local history are best known.
Life
Childhood and apprenticeship in Großbardau 1895–1913
As the son of the Böttcher couple Berta (née Schräpler) and Friedrich Oskar Karich, Oskar Karich attended the Großbardauer village school up to the age of 15, after which he did the cooperative apprenticeship.
Walz (journeyman's hike) in Thuringia 1913–1914
The first year of his waltz took Karich to Arnstadt . His documentation "The Last Wanderer" is probably the only surviving relic of the custom of wandering cooperage workers.
First World War 1914–1918
The outbreak of war forced Karich to abandon the Walz, he was a survivor of the tragic battles of Langemarck and Belgrade.
Takeover and expansion of his father's cooperage 1918–1945
In 1920 Karich married Margarethe Bauer (1899–1986) from Eibenstock / Erzgebirge . After the death of his father, Oskar Karich had to take over the business at the age of 23. In the following years this was so successful that the construction of larger production buildings, new appointments and significant technical innovations followed. Karich acquired a patent for the "readjustable barrel hoop". The company was successfully represented at trade fairs and there was a radio event directly from the Großbardauer cooperage.
Oskar Karich worked in the Reich Guild Association of the Cooperage and in the Großbardauer municipal council. His NSDAP membership at the time should also be classified in this context .
Soviet NKVD special camp 1945–1948
After denunciations, Oskar Karich was interned without conviction in October 1945 in the special camp Mühlberg of the Soviet secret service NKVD . The cooperage was expropriated . Mentally and physically ill, Oskar Karich was released from the Mühlberg camp on August 13, 1948.
Old age 1948–1959
Son Gerthold was able to buy back his father's company, expropriated in 1946, from the state government of Saxony. Oskar Karich was allowed to continue to live in Großbardau until he succumbed to his depression in 1959 .
After the political change, the expropriation at that time was completely rehabilitated by the state government of the Free State of Saxony as part of the compensation process. Documents that could burden Oskar Karich with regard to the Nazi era were not identified during the examination of the rehabilitation process.
Literary works
Karich wrote factual texts about the cooperage, but also poems and short stories. They appeared scattered in calendars, small publications, and on other occasions. His daughter edited two anthologies from his estate.
