Wilhelm Schrader (local poet)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Wilhelm Schrader (born January 12, 1847 in Neuenstein , † October 31, 1914 in Ulm ) was a customs officer and Hohenloher local poet .

Life

Schrader's parents were Julius Schrader, pharmacist in Neuenstein, and Wilhelmine nee. Lindner from Crailsheim .

childhood and education

As one of seven children, Schrader attended elementary school in Neuenstein and the Lyceum in Öhringen . After the state examination in Stuttgart , he moved to the Blaubeuren theological seminar . In 1866 he enrolled at the University of Tübingen and studied law and finance ( cameralistics ). In 1866 he became a member of the Corps Franconia Tübingen . In 1870 he passed the first state examination for higher financial service. When he volunteered for war against France in 1870 , he was turned down for health reasons. After his legal clerkship in Göppingen , he got his first job as a camera accountant in Tettnang . Here he married Franziska Laub von Dürmentingen in 1873 . In 1875 he was transferred to Langenargen as a mounted border controller , and in 1873 to the main state treasury in Stuttgart. A son Otto came to their daughter Berta.

Franconian lever

Friends who had recognized his talent for poetry persuaded him to take over the editing of the cousin from Swabia , a literary-artistic weekly supplement to the Württemberg regional newspaper . It was here that Schrader published the first poems and stories, mostly in Hohenlohe-Franconian dialect . The fantastic stories Bamm Alte Gäwele also appeared here first and found enthusiastic fans.

“While Johann Peter Hebel wrote the Alemannic poems at the beginning of the century , Schrader contributed with the Franconian dialect to make dialect poetry acceptable as a new literary art form. ... Nobody after Schrader made a better advertisement for the Hohenloher Land, its lovely people and its delicious wine. "

- Rolf Werner

Friedrichshafen and Ulm

In 1885 Schrader became the main customs administrator in Friedrichshafen . He moved into the summer residence of King Karl I and his successor Wilhelm II , whom he knew from his studies in Tübingen. The proceeds from the lectures and readings were used for charitable or artistic purposes. In addition to his homeland Hohenlohe, Schrader loved the Swabian Oberland more than anything.

After his wife, suffering from tuberculosis , died, Schrader and his two children moved to Ulm in 1895, where he was promoted to senior customs inspector and a little later as senior tax councilor was entrusted with managing the main customs office. On July 1, 1914, he was retired. He died just four months later.
