Hans Rosenplut

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Rosenplüt (Rosenblüth, Rosenblut) the Schnepperer (* around 1400 in Nuremberg ; † probably summer 1460 in Nuremberg) was a gunsmith and poet .

Life

Hans Rosenplüt spent most of his life in Nuremberg and wrote 1431-1460 mainly sayings , saying poems and rhyming words . He made a particular contribution to the carnival game , which he made into a literary genre. In this genre he is next to Hans Folz the most important representative before Hans Sachs .

The first sure proof of his life is the application made to the Nuremberg council in 1426 for membership in the citizenship. As sarwürht -Master - so chainmail -Macher - he's already testified a year later. His mention in 1428 as a redsmith ( i.e. a brass caster ) allows the conclusion that he changed his trade.

In 1444 he was appointed city gunsmith , which made him the overseer of the entire city gun system. As the holder of this office, Hans Rosenplüt was involved in a not insignificant role in the “ Nuremberg Margrave War ” in 1449/1450.

Since the last datable seal by him dates from 1460 and his salary as a gunsmith ended in the third quarter of this year, one can probably assume that he died that year.

Works

About 25 carnival games , three spiritually colored, didactic stories, nine signed and two unsigned Maeren as well as 13 rhyming speeches are attributed to Hans Rosenplüt .

The tales have all - with two exceptions, one of which is The five killed pastor - erotic character, often clergymen (a provost , priest, pfaffen or monastery monks ) are presented in the role of adulterers. This tendency is clearest in the Maere Der Bildschnitzer von Würzburg , although the attribution of this work to Hans Rosenplüt is uncertain. Also controversial is Rosenplüt's authorship for the legendary story Die Ärzte , consisting of 445 rhyming verses , in which the doctors Ippocras , Galienus and Orienes experience miraculous experiences in dialogue with Jesus Christ . Wolfgang Spiewok ascribes the story, written in verse, Die Wolfsgrube Rosenplüt. It can be found in the Altdeutsches Decamerone collection .

He possibly wrote six political-historical poems on behalf of the Nuremberg Council.

The attribution of the numerous Klopfan sayings (a Nuremberg local genre), proverbial stanzas, beer and wine greetings and priamels that have been handed down under his name is very uncertain .

Example for Priamel from Rosenplüt:

Whoever trusts a wolf on the haid and
a pawrn on his aid and
a munch on his conscience,
is shitty here and there.

In today's German:

Who trusts a wolf on the heath
and a farmer (?) Believes on his oath
And a monk on his conscience,
He gets shit here and there.

Appreciation
