Wilhelm Dusch (born June 29, 1871 in Bad Tölz ; † January 11, 1927 in Planegg ) was a German homeland poet who wrote his works in Upper Bavarian dialect.

Life

Wilhelm Dusch, pseudonym Willy Tolentzer, was born in Bad Tölz as the son of a tailor. In the first year of his life, however, his parents moved to Cannstatt , later to Stuttgart and Augsburg , until the ten-year-old's family finally settled in Munich. There he attended secondary school and the royal secondary school, today's Oskar-von-Miller-Gymnasium . He then entered the postal service and finally reached the rank of chief postal inspector. Dusch was married to Hermine Lutz and had three children.

Inspired by the work of Peter Auzinger , he himself began to write in Upper Bavarian dialect. His volumes of poetry, published by Lindauer Verlag , were received favorably or enthusiastically by the critics and achieved several editions during his lifetime. This is the verdict of the Munich Latest News : "With the eye of the sighted he crosses his territory, knows how to describe it like few [...] The poet always deals with a real reproach, he always has thoughts, not just words". He says of himself in a poem:

I'm a kloan poet,
dos sell, dos is clear to me , koans
of the great lights
in the cathedral at the high altar!
A 'Kirzen nur a kloani
Drauss' in da Waldkappell'n,
Bin i' and shines alloani,
I can illuminate the room.

Shower was a member of a Munich dialect poets association, to which u. a. Fritz Druckseis , Max Hofmann , Sepp Mitterer, Elise Beck and Anni Schäfer counted. The composer Vinzenz Goller set several of his poems to music. In 1921 he was accepted into the Sturmfried Masonic Lodge in Munich . Furthermore, Dusch was spokesman and master singer of the citizen-singer-guild in Munich as well as a member of the literary society Graefelfing , in which he appeared three times between 1921 and 1926. His connection to his place of birth is evidenced by the poem “ Obituary for Anton Krettner ”. Dusch died at the age of 56 at Hofmarkstrasse 11 in Planegg. In addition to the work, the obituary of the Munich Latest News reminds of a "lovable, sunny and warm-hearted person."
