knows everyone in this country the story of Pinocchio, the wooden doll, fun-loving, one long nose gets when it fibs. Fellow citizens from the so-called new federal states - a term of equally long life as the 'new' singer of AC / DC, who now is now already 30 years in business, but never could put that status - know addition this figure as Buratino (sometimes Burattino) since that time every other day care center named after the GDR this figure from battle brotherly African hand, was once named as 'nursery Feb 23' were already taken.
But hardly anyone knows, however, the German equivalent of the 'core Zaepfel' why I do not know. Controversial are the origins of such popular Stories, which often relate their origin in ancient traditions. Is it in the above-described relationships always from a piece of wood work come to life, there are regional differences even stories of strange occurrences to living foods or vegetables. Are they in northern and coastal regions rather fish-like as in the Frisian 'Ballad of even gräuselichen halibut', can be found in more central regions and different traditions of demonic sugar beet, which particularly in Catholic-dominated enclaves such as Paderborn and Osnabrück personal union with the anti-Christians from the Revelation attests. These fish or beets all have one thing in common, they lie, that a trooper and a variety of reasons. There
Such a figure is also available in the region of the Odenwald, the so-called 'Gorx'. What exactly is this Gorx now and what he intended, is nowhere described in detail, by written records are scarce, and these are limited to facsimiles of handwritten copies, written in local dialect. For outside readers, these dialects are more suitable for purposes of parody as communicative to a challenge.
are the Gorx even identify themselves only weak and greedy characters, ostensibly in the form of a talking potato. If a suitable victims served with a bowl of cooked potatoes, this self-interest immediately noticeable greatest long - and it hangs on a hook. The infamous vegetable is now promising the way, always male victims (certainly a consequence of the traditional patriarchal form of society), that help to gain fame and honor, that this insignificant because of his personality, of course corrected. When you see the victim lying in everyday life and thus to secure advantages increase, ostensibly in his community, without having even the slightest of talent. Like a curse, the victim, now the ruthless criminals mutated, is doomed to lie in any situation and thereby to make more and more into social isolation and finally said 'Vergorxte' with clubs chased from the villages to have been in the era of emerging industrialization allegedly without tarred and feathered before.
historians doubt, however, that this probably 400-500 years old in March may be based on a potato, but this was fed until the age of the great Prussian king as 'Kartuffel' of further spread. It is believed that a transformation has taken place in a time of beginnings of the potato in the Odenwald, when they were still 'lying herb' called was. The traditional inability of then-Odenwald for accurate listening and understanding had often resulted in parts of the population of the aerial part of the growth had finished and thereby killed applied and consequently asserted the opinion that this blessing of the modern diet is the devil's work.
Credible sources point out, however, that have originally been traded for a false kohlrabi must speak only replies that the turnip was never allowed in the value of the diet that he might have earned. More likely, there is the theory that it is of a type of dumpling cereal products must have acted. This theory involves a possible explanation but the curse of the victim by the person who had made the dumplings, while the statements go out on turnip or potato based on an inexplicable, metaphysical caused curse. Much is of course justified in popular superstition, which has opposed the Christian church's own coverage.
Gorx Nowadays the younger generation in mind, however, older term still like to refer to the actual existence of these people fall prey to the seducer, and who have deliberately ignored the wisdom of older People, if this wisdom is not confused with age stubbornness? To what extent the claim is verified to, larger settlements in the geographic center of these events are still unclear traditional named clearly understood, this phenomenon appears, at present still unclear. Otherwise
is only handed down that emigrants from the Odenwald, who settled in present-day states of Iowa, will probably have tried unsuccessfully through the tale, to prevent the spread of the potato. An Austrian artist named Gorx, who keeps a little for the Andy Warhol of the Alpine republic, has his name probably borrowed from this source.
Thank you once again to the hardworking many Wikipedia authors, without whose support this view would have been impossible.
