May Meeting in Review  

German Club members met on Thursday, May 18, 2006 and enjoyed an interesting and informative presentation by Richard Pearson at the Train Depot in Jasper.  The group then toured the Presidential railcar currently located adjacent to the Train Depot before moving to the Dave Buehler Plaza to enjoy a 'Picnic in the Park'.

Virgil Gress and his crew, Dan Wehr, Ken Heim, Gary Egler, Rafe Ackerman and John Wibbels, grilled brats for the 80 people attending. A short business meeting followed.  President Dilger thanked Rita Reller,
Judy Gress, Sharon and Katie Dilger who greeted the people as they arrived. Karen and Doug Schulte were also available to schedule members to work at
the Strassenfest Booth later this summer.  The club is still looking for an over-all chairman for the Strassenfest booth. The work load has been divided so no one individual is overloaded.  Ed Zoglman will work with the incoming chairman this year.

The next meeting will be the Family Picnic on September 16 at the Jasper Outdoor Recreation Hall.  Matt Hilger and his crew are busy planning another memorable picnic.  Indy Polka Motion from Indianapolis is booked to provide the entertainment for this event.

Charmaine Verkamp and Joan Knies won the attendance prizes. Rita Egler and Joe Wanninger garnered the special prizes.

Invisible Presence:
A Walk through Indiana in Photographs and Poems
by Darryl Jones and Norbert Krapf
Indiana University Press, Quarry Books
Cloth, 288 pp., 140 colored images, 125 poems
ISBN 0-253-34753-X, $39.95
1-800-842-6796; http://iupress.indiana.edu

Darryl Jones’ Polaroid manipulations and transfers of Indiana scenes, which resemble Impressionist paintings or watercolors, and Norbert Krapf’’s meditative poems in response, take the reader on a spiritual journey through a familiar landscape that reveals the “invisible presence” of a higher reality underlying everyday Midwestern life.  The book takes the reader on a stroll along back roads, into fields, woods, the barnyard, the garden, the small town, and, finally, along waters that become increasingly spiritual.  Readers will recognize these Jones images as familiar scenes transformed into the timeless realm of art further deepened by Krapf’s short meditative poems. Invisible Presence is a unique and ground-breaking collaboration between a photographer and a poet that makes the reader see and appreciate the Midwestern heritage, as well as everyday reality, in a new way. In the Foreword, Scott Russell Sanders says, “After spending a few hours in the pages of InvisiblePresence, I can see once more beyond the familiar to the miraculous.”

For a more detailed description, sample pairings of images and poems, and an autobiographical essay about how and why this collaboration came about, visit www.krapfpoetry.com.  The book is available directly from the publisher, independent and chain stores, and Internet retailers, sometimes at a substantial discount.  Any bookseller who does not have it in stock can order it.

This and That

In 1985, Mary Jo Meuser and her students gathered information from parents, grandparents, and older neighbors to help preserve a little of the German heritage in Dubois County.

The following is information from that booklet:

Wenn man so alt wie eine Kuh wird,
Lernt man immer noch dazu.

One never gets too old to learn.

Der Mensch lebt nicht vom Brot allein.

Man does not live on bread alone.

Hilf dir selbst, so hilft dir Gott.

God helps those that help themselves.

Was geht kinauf, kommt
Wider herunter.

What goes up must come down.

An Holz klopfen.

Knock on wood.

Ach, du liebe Zeit!

Ach, du liever Himmel!

Um Himmels Willen!

Meine Guete!

Oh my goodness!   For goodness sake!!

HARK THE HERALD

Facts, Dates And Names--- by A. T. Rumbach

The “Chronik” traces the history of Pfaffenweiler through successive centuries.   The name “Pfaffenweiler” to designate the village first occurs in a document dated 1094.   It is mentioned in a papal bull issued in 1173 by Pope Alexander III, in which he enumerates the possessions of the Abbey of St. Ulrich.   The first reference to a pastor being assigned to “Phaphenwiler” is made in a document dated 1267.   The feudal land-herren (overlords) who owned most of the property are traced through 1321, 1379 and 1449.   References to the grape culture, which is still the main crop, go back to the year 1372; and court records through the 15 th and 16 th centuries give evidence of the struggle for ownership of the rich vineyards, forest and meadows of the neighborhood.

An interesting account is given of the ravages of the Peasants’ War, the Thirty Years War and other military activities which surged up and down the country during the 16 th and 17 th centuries.   Witness to the antiquity of the village is the rectory which bears the inscription 1572, one of the oldest buildings. It is followed closely by the Gasthaus (tavern) Zur Stube, erected 1575; both buildings survived the Thirty Years War.

Speaking of this tavern, that is the place where we found the rest of our party, who, thinking we were lost in the maze and tangle of the centuries, had left us to find a place to rest and to refresh themselves.  

The Gasthaus Zur Stube, which boasts of serving its own brand of wine, is conducted by one Alfonse Eckerle, the present host, successor to a long line of other Eckerles since 1575.   Darkness had descended upon Pfaffenweiler (Saturday, October 16, 1954), making further exploration of the town impossible, so we joined the rest at a large oaken table and ordered bratwurst and forelle (pork sausage and trout) where were very palatable with the “Eckerle” brand of beverage made of home-grown fruit of the vines.

While waiting to be served by Herr Eckerle, we had the first opportunity to look over the booklet given us by the pastor.   It contained a “Willkommengrusz” from Burgermeister Friedrich Dischinger and a foreword by Karl Spaeth (Spayd?).   Under the title “Festausschuss” were the names:   Hans Dick, Gustav Gutzsell; Marzeil Kiefer; under “Honorary Members” we found Emil Gutzsell, Karl Eckert, Karl Scherle, Herman Kiefer, Karl A. Eckert, Franz Eckerle, Franz Werner, and Fredrich Wehrle.

Among the active members are:   Franz Baumann, Paul Eckert, Hyancinth Kiefer, Karl Kiefer, Franz Eckerle, Henry Werner, Hermann Dischinger, Werner Schuble, Heinrich Eckert, Karl Gutgsell, Hermann Haury, Josef Gutgsell, Emil Schlegel, Josef Weibel, Karl and Franz Eckert and Adalbert Schlegel.   Listed as former directors are Karl Friedmann, Hermann Stork and Franz Meier.

From the memorial at the church I copied the following familiar names:   Daeschle, Litschgi, Beck and more of those listed above.

Most of these names are among those listed by George R. Wilson in his “history of Dubois County” as members of the group of immigrants who came to Jasper in 1847 and erected the Votive Cross in the churchyard of St. Joseph’s.    He tells how the group, making the trip across the Atlantic ocean in a sailing vessel, were threatened with death in a severe storm.   They made a solemn vow that they would erect a cross on the premises of the parish church in their new home if there were spared.   They finally landed safely and having settled in Jasper, they fulfilled their promise.   The stone cross and corpus was executed by George Baumann, one of the immigrants who was a sculptor.
