Live and act

Pius Jauch grew up in Bösingen (near Rottweil) . He took violin lessons at the age of six and bought his first electric guitar at the age of twelve . From then on he wrote his own songs, initially in English. He played the violin and viola in various orchestras and ensembles. He worked as a guitarist and singer in several youth bands . After graduating from high school in 2002 and the subsequent community service , he studied ethnology and history at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg from 2004 . However, he soon gave up his studies in favor of his artistic career.

In 2005 he worked in a carpentry shop . From 2006 to 2008 he lived in the Italian Abruzzo . There he worked as a carpenter, pizza oven maker and truffle hunter , learned Italian and wrote numerous songs and poems in High German , Swabian and Italian in a remote mountain village . In addition, from 2007 he worked in a mobile recording studio for classical music in the greater Rome area .

In 2007 his first album Baumhaus was released in standard German. With the program of the same name, Jauch appeared on cabaret stages throughout Germany. After a long stay in Venice , he lived for three years as a lumberjack and self-sufficient on a remote mountain farm in South Tyrol . During this time, in addition to songs and poems, two plays were created.

In 2009 the second CD Haggåbutzågai followed in the dialect of his home village Bösingen. In 2012 he returned to the upper Neckar as part of an increasingly extensive concert activity and was awarded the Sebastian Blau Prize for songwriters alongside Thomas Felder and Alex Köberlein . In the same year he wrote the dialect for children Pumpernickel - or how Napoleon fell among the robbers . He performed the “folk mini opera”, which was realized with four hand puppets and a harpsichord , until 2018 in southern Germany together with his sister Carmen Jauch on the harpsichord. In 2015 his third album Wolk am Horizont was released in Swabian-Alemannic dialect, together with his sister.

Since 2014 Jauch has worked as a dialect activist, moderator and actor.

Promotion of the dialect

Since 2012/13 Pius Jauch has been active in the association "schwäbische mund.art eV", an association for the promotion of Swabian dialect in art and culture. In 2014, in collaboration with the writer and historian Wolfgang Wulz, he brought the new category “Filmmaker” to the Sebastian Blau Prize and expanded the call to include the entire Swabian-Alemannic region, including Vorarlberg and Switzerland . Since 2015 he has also been involved in organizing the nationwide “Dialect in School” award and regularly moderates its award.
