Wilhelm Garbe (field guard)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm Garbe (also: Pänner Garbe ; * May 4, 1859 in Altwarmbüchen ; † December 10, 1926 in Hanover ) was a German bricklayer , field hunter in the sense of a field overseer and a coachman in the fire department .

Life

Born in the small town of Altwarmbüchen at the time of the Kingdom of Hanover , Wilhelm Garbe first learned the trade of bricklayer . After his military service he worked as a driver at the Hanover Fire Department before in the early days of the German Empire in 1893 with an automotive company Benz for the first time a car in Hanover streets appeared.

In the meantime Wilhelm Garbe had already accepted the position of the city field guard in the Ohemasch in 1890 . There he was authorized , among other things, to seize escaped or simply unattended cattle , so he was called in Low German Pänner Garbe ("Pfänder Garbe").

Wilhelm Garbe lived in a small farmstead between the Leine and Waterloostraße as the city field guard . He was a well-known personality in the city and was regarded as the "[...] horror of rascals , night owls and troublemakers ".

Pänner-Garbe-Weg

A path that was presumably built on the Leine around 1937 in connection with the construction of the Maschsee was officially named Penner-Garbe- Weg in 1962 , according to the address book of the city of Hanover from 1963 "[...] after a Hanoverian field guard well known in the city". It was not until 1973 that the name was changed to Pänner-Garbe-Weg "[...] as a correction of the popular job title derived from 'Pfänder' "
