Rosemarie Banholzer (born February 10, 1925 in Konstanz as Rosemarie Amann ) is a poet who speaks and writes in Konstanzer Seealemannisch and in written German. She was born in Alemannia, her father comes from Constance and grandparents from Linzgau and her mother and other grandfather from the Winterhalder family , who made clocks in Neustadt in the Black Forest and the surrounding area.

Life

She grew up in Konstanz am Seerhein , first in the Petershausen district on the right bank of the Rhine , then in the Paradies district on the left bank of the Rhine . After attending the commercial college in Constance, she worked after the Second World War, first in the Service de Statistique de Gouvernement Française in Constance and then at the Südverlag in Constance. From 1948 to 1976 she stopped working because of starting a family. In 1977 she started working for the Südkurier daily newspaper in Konstanz and retired in 1989 after reaching the age limit. Since then she has concentrated on writing poetry and texts. She worked as a freelancer and continued to work as a newspaper columnist. Her roots also lie in the Black Forest through her mother's legacy.

Rosemarie Banholzer wrote 14 books in Alemannic. In addition, she published three volumes of High German poetry, and she also produced two CDs. She translated "Max and Moritz" by Wilhelm Busch and the Gospel of Luke into Alemannic. She contributed Alemannic poems and texts to the cookbook “Alemannisch kocht und gschwätz” with cartoons by Peter Gaymann . In the book Impressions she explains her thoughts on the architectural projects of Friedensreich Hundertwasser in written German for the photos by Peter Mosdzen. She wrote over 3000 poems and reflections.

Special commitment

Columns and glosses

For the regional Konstanzer Anzeiger she wrote a slightly satirical dialect column "s'Frichtle monnt ..." (in High German roughly: "The street child means ...") every week from 1978 to 2008 for a total of thirty years. Some of the themes that are timeless were:

  • There are soon elections
  • Bienle worry
  • Dapete change
  • A tip fir d'Ferie: Hike in the Hegau
  • Europe window
  • Ferie dehomm
  • Frühjohrsbutz
  • Gait
  • Grandfather's watch
  • Morgeschtund
  • So'n honey hom me at the lake
  • Traditional costumes are a cultural asset
  • Our talk
  • Vu old custom
  • Why do I write?
  • When d'Sunne warms
  • To the round
  • For volunteer day

For the Monday edition of the Südkurier she wrote the column for the series “Laughing into the New Week” in written German from 1983 to 1990, which was illustrated by Hans Sauerbruch . In addition, she wrote glosses on current local political issues at irregular intervals for around 20 years. She could also be heard on the radio.

Readings

From 2003 to 2007, she also accompanied the exhibitions of Friedensreich Hundertwasser's graphics by reading his texts. She paid tribute to Friedensreich Hundertwasser as a peacemaker and philanthropist and his work. The exhibitions with readings accompanying Banholzer took place in Konstanz, Freiburg im Breisgau, Munich, Meersburg, Zurich, Speyer, Amberg and Eutin.

Her readings (already over 2,000 by February 2010) were popular not only in the Alemannic language area of ​​Switzerland, Austria and southern Germany but also in northern German areas such as Berlin , Hamburg and Eutin . She has stopped her readings since 2011 because of an eye disease. At rare events, she now talks about her memories.

Artistic philosophy

Rosemarie Banholzer in 2014 on Wendelgardweg in Konstanz

For Rosemarie Banholzer, Alemannic is the language of the heart. Banholzer brings nature, ephemeral times and human togetherness and for one another to a common denominator. In the seafaring texts it can be seen that she has been watching the people properly. It always conveys the basic idea: Live and let live. She finds her topics while exchanging ideas with her interlocutors, developing them further through constant reconsideration and finally formulating them.

Alemannic (Constance) is their mother tongue. In written German, however, it expresses itself skillfully in a special meter. In addition, her verses express her connection with people and nature. (similar to Annette von Droste-Hülshoff ).

On the basis of one of her poems, one can judge that the same state of affairs is composed differently in Alemannic and in written German, but both times hit the melody of the language.

In written German:

"26th December 1999
When the storm broke the trees,
tore roots out of the earth,
as the clock ticked
the New Year, was it uncertain
whether the turning point in time
would have any consequences in the gears of
our progress?

Fear and storms both
subsided -
the year two thousand began
without a particular exception ,
but it will be years before
the children's trees form
- tall - a fir tree . "

Rosemarie Banholzer, 2000

In seafaring terms:

“The storm 'Lothar'
Where the storm kinks the Böm hot,
d'Wurzele usem Bode grisse,
where d'Uhr hot vugegetickt
the Neujohr, hond all know
wave whether the turning point vu de Zit
succession in the gear hot
vu the progress earth;
d'Angscht and d'Stürm
hond vezoge
s Johr Zweusig calmly catches a.
But it will be two lifetimes
until we can
say 'forests' to the young plant again “

Rosemarie Banholzer, 2000
