Brush
The " Pinsl ", whose real name was Erhard Königsreuther (* August 21, 1927 , † March 12, 2009 in Erlangen ), was a German painter .
Act
With a large audience beyond Erlangen's borders, he was known as the city original and an integral part of festival and pub life, especially as the self-proclaimed “mountain king” who stood on the music stage of the Erich-Keller every year for the Erlangen mountain church festival . He often bought his beer in exchange for pictures he had painted himself (hence the nickname “Pinsl”). In this way, several hundred of his paintings ended up in private ownership in Erlangen. His studio was at Westliche Stadtmauerstraße 19. His trademark, a self-made crown, was stolen from him to his annoyance in the 1990s.
Mayor Siegfried Balleis opened the 254th Bergkirchweih in 2009 with a toast to the connoisseur who had recently passed away and with whom the Erlangen Bergkirchweih had been inextricably linked for decades. The Irish folk band Fiddler's Green from Erlangen immortalized “Pinsl” on the cover of their 1995 CD King Shepherd . With the bonus track Ra Ra Ra Venezuela , the mountain king set a musical monument.
