Klaus Groth

Klaus Johann Groth (born April 24, 1819 in Heide , Duchy of Holstein , † June 1, 1899 in Kiel ) is an important Low German poet and writer . Together with Fritz Reuter, he is considered to be one of the founders of the more recent Low German literature.

biography

Klaus Groth was born as the son of the miller Hartwig Groth (1791-1860) in Heide ( Dithmarschen / Holstein ). He got to know life and working conditions in his home region early on. When Groth was fourteen years old, in 1835 he began an apprenticeship as a carpenter at the parish of Dührsen, but in 1837 at the age of eighteen he switched to the teachers' college in Tondern . Due to lack of money, he broke off his training four years later and became a teacher at a girls' school in his home town of Heide.

In 1847 Groth, who was often ill, suffered a physical and mental breakdown that led to his retirement from school. Due to illness he left Heide and stayed with his friend Leonhard Selle to recover on Fehmarn until 1853 . There he wrote his first collection of Low German poems, Quickborn , published in 1852 by Perthes; Besser & Mauke appeared in Hamburg. This volume of poetry made Groth famous in one fell swoop. In between, his first High German poems appear in 1848.

In 1853 he moved to Kiel at the age of 34 . Klaus Groth worked here from October 1854 to April 1855 with Professor Karl Müllenhoff on the creation of the Low German grammar and orthography as well as on the new editions of the Quickborn . Almost at the same time a collection of High German poems appeared in the volume "Hundert Blätter" in 1854. The prose work Vertelln was created during the winter of 1854/55 .

On the basis of a doctor's recommendation, he went on a trip in the spring of 1855, which first took him to Bonn , where the Philosophical Faculty of the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität awarded him an honorary doctorate by unanimous decision . However, he remained in the position of honorary professor for German language and literature. His journey took him to Switzerland , later via Leipzig and Dresden to Thuringia . In the mid-1850s, Klaus Groth tried to develop and present Low German as a cultural language. This led to a dispute with Fritz Reuter (1810–1874), which, although they never met, lasted until Reuter's death.

In 1857 Groth returned to Kiel, where he gave a habilitation lecture at the Philosophical Faculty in September 1858 and was awarded the "venia legendi" on this occasion. In the same year his “Letters on High and Low German” and his work “Vor de Goern” were published by G.Wigand Verlag in Leipzig. In the early 1860s he published other works such as the volume of poetry "Rothgeter Meister Lamp und sin Dochder" and in 1864 again in the Hamburg publishing house "Fiev nie Leder to Singen und Beden". In 1866 the then Austrian governor von Holstein awarded him the title of professor for German language and literature. His annual allowance was initially 600 thalers and was increased to 1200 Prussian thalers in 1871. His most extensive work of this time, the epic De Heisterkrog , as well as Min Jungsparadies and numerous poems were also written in Kiel . Many of these poems were then summarized by him in 1870 in the second part of the new edition of Quickborn .

In August 1858 he got engaged to Doris Finke and the marriage took place on August 24, 1859. The couple had four sons - Detmar, Albert, Carl, August - the eldest of whom died at the age of six. The family moved into the newly built house in Schwanenweg in Kiel in 1865/66, where both Doris and Klaus Groth lived until they died. There they made important social contacts at the music evenings organized by Doris, especially with famous musicians of the time such as Clara Schumann or Johannes Brahms , with whom Groth was close friends. Brahms in particular set numerous poems by Klaus Groth to music, beginning in 1858. With his seriously ill wife he went on a trip to Menton in 1876. At the same time his book "Ut min Jungsparadies" was published.

Serious strokes of fate for Groth were the death of his wife in 1878, who died of pulmonary tuberculosis, the death of the eldest son Detmar in 1866 and his youngest son August in 1889. In 1893 Klaus Groth's collected works were published by Lipsius & Tischer. In 1895 he spent the winter on Capri in the villa of Christian Wilhelm Allers .

On his 80th birthday, the cities of Kiel and Heide each granted him honorary citizenship . Six weeks later, on June 1, 1899, Klaus Groth died. In the place of his former house in Kiel there is now the “Quickborn” hospital , which bears this name in memory of the poet's most famous work. In the buildings of the old "Quickborn House" today the DRK regional association Schleswig-Holstein has its seat. Directly in front of the entrance there is a memorial stone that reminds of the poet. His grave is located in the southern cemetery in Kiel , marked as point "E" on the map displayed there.

Honors

Groth and the Low German language

It was Groth's endeavor to prove the "equality of Low German and High German literature", which is why he developed his native dialect into a literary language . He referred to the southwest German poet Johann Peter Hebel as a role model . Like this he succeeded in describing serious topics in Low German on a high literary level. Groth tried to make it clear that the Low German language is capable of all literary purposes. However, he emphasized "that the Low German language should not be used for empty formulas and for word bells, but what it lacks in the ability to abstract, it would have great sensual security at its disposal". Groth's conception of Low German as a literary language differed from the dialect narrative style of Fritz Reuter , the other important Low German writer for whom the dialect is an authentic feature of his prose. In contrast to Groth, this was about connecting the cause of the people with their language. Because of these differing opinions, the two writers came to a dispute.

Groth on Reuters Läuschen un Riemels : “[…] but they are mean through and through. They just show us clumsy, ignorant or dirty, clever characters. [...] That would be the prime of popular life? that his poetry , which is ignored and brought back to him? No, that means pulling everything down and into the smoke and chaos of the pub, where vademekum anecdotes are told in the most sloppy language. Everything is the same, namely everything common, bourgeois and nobility, high and low. ”Reuter replied to Groth:“ No, Herr Doktor, our paths in the poetic and popular fields are far apart, just as much as our dialects . ”

Groth's High and Low German poems and songs were often set to music by well-known composers , above all Johannes Brahms , but also Arnold Schönberg . The Klaus Groth Society is dedicated to maintaining and caring for the complete literary works of Klaus Groth ; The Klaus Groth Archive at the University of Kiel is responsible for the overall documentation , and the Klaus Groth Museum on the Museum Island Lüttenheid in Heide provides an overview of Groth's life, especially his childhood in Heide.

Individual works

Quickborn (1852)

In November 1852 the Low German poetry book Quickborn came out. Up until this new beginning by Groth, Low German literature was last important in the 17th century. Low German was spoken mainly by people in the country and people in the lower and middle classes of society. This Low German language was increasingly displaced by High German writing and language. The people who did not speak standard German were excluded. Groth tried to counter this development with Quickborn , because all poems and texts in his work, even the most demanding ones, are written in the so-called Dithmarscher Platt.

Vertelln (1855/1859)

In his two-volume collection of short stories, Vertelln (1855/1859), Groth describes the people of the country and the experiences and feelings of ordinary people. The first volume was published in 1855 by the Schwer'schen Buchhandlung in Kiel and contains, in addition to a preceding Priamel, the stories "Twischen Marsch und Geest", "Ut de Marsch" and "Detelf" as well as a glossary under the title "Idiotisms that are not yet im Quickborn occurred and explained ".

The second volume, Vertelln , was also published in 1859 by the Schwer'schen Buchhandlung in Kiel. The volume only contains the story "Trina".

Vær de Gærn (1858)

Vær de Gærn (For the Children) are Low German nursery rhymes. They became famous because the rhymes were mainly used as lullabies and play songs.

Ut Min boys paradise. Dree Vertelln (1876)

The three short stories in Ut Mien Jungsparadies are predominantly autobiographical. The volume contains the stories "Min Jungsparadies", "Vun den Lüttenheid" and "De Höder Mael".

Translations

The works of Groth, especially poems from the Quickborn , were translated into other languages ​​early on, especially into High German in order to open up a larger readership. There were also translations into other German dialects such as West Frisian. Translations into Dutch, Flemish, Danish, Italian and Estonian followed. In most cases, however, only individual poems were transmitted. Not all transmissions were made with the knowledge or assistance of Groth, especially since he was particularly opposed to translations into Standard German.

Continuing effect

Radio play about Klaus Groth

In 1952 Albert Mähl wrote his radio play Der Quickborn , which is set in Landkirchen on Fehmarn in the fall of 1852, where Groth found accommodation with his friend the cantor Leo Selle after he was released from school in Heide. In the production of the NWDR Hamburg , Heinz Lanker played the part of the poet, Rudolf Beiswanger that of his brother Johann, Hartwig Sievers played Leo Selle and Erna Raupach-Petersen played his housekeeper Gretenmedder. Hans Freundt directed the film .

Banknotes

  • In 1921 the city of Bönningstedt, district of Pinneberg, issued six emergency money notes for Klaus Groth: 2 × 25 Pf, 2 × 50 Pf, 2 × 74 Pf. They show the house where he was born; a man who eats potatoes; a woman praying; a plowing farmer; a loving couple; a portrait by Klaus Groth. A line from Groth for each illustration.
  • In 1921 the city of Heide issued three emergency banknotes of 25 pfennig, 50 pfennig and 1 mark with the picture of Klaus Groth. The motif was designed by the Heid painter Nicolaus Bachmann , who had portrayed Groth several times.
  • In 1923 the city of Kiel issued an emergency bank note worth 5 million marks with the picture of Klaus Groth.

Literary survival

In his novel The School of Atheists , Arno Schmidt makes numerous references to Klaus Groth. There, however, his name is Klaus Langelütje, which allows conclusions to be drawn about Klaus Lütt, the pseudonym of the Danish translator of the Quickborn poems. Groth's paternal grandmother was called Katharina Klehn or Kleen, meaning “small”. Groth was unusually tall for the time, so he was “long”: Arno Schmidt evidently knitted his “Langelütje” from these set pieces. Arno Schmidt also mentions the memorial plaque with the Groth reminiscence at the inn "Zur neue Vergesslichkeit", built on the site of the birth house of Klaus Groth's mother, which was demolished in 1893.

Klaus Groth hiking trail

The Klaus Groth hiking trail still exists between the towns of Tellingstedt and Heide. It is believed that Klaus Groth often wandered this way between his birthplace and that of his mother. The path leads through forest and bog areas and measures almost 15 kilometers.
