OTTO REUTTER. UND SO KOMM´N WIR AUS DER FREUDE GAR NICHT RAUS

Friedrich Otto August Pfützenreuter left the office chair that was destined for him in Gardelegen in the Altmark at the end of the 19th century to conquer the boards of this world. With a head full of rhymes and a longing for great tragedies, he reached Berlin by roundabout ways, where the heart of the world seemed to beat.

I then left the serious muse.
With the cheerful one, I knocked shyly.
Now I was at the goal,
For now I pleased.

In the first decades of the new century in the city bursting at the seams with parade steps, march music, war cries, the gray aftermaths, and the "golden twenties," he stood, Otto Reutter - with tt - smiling on stage with big round eyes and knew what moved his audience, for it also moved him.

Anyone who is not crazy today
Is not quite normal.

The police marked “suspicious” punchlines with the red pencil and sat with pricked ears in the audience. And Reutter – he coughed! He coughed the crossed-out bars! And the whole hall coughed in time with him. The Berliners gave their censor a piece of their mind! And Reutter smiled innocently:

Had to cough, coughed!
What you must, you must!

He sang of everyday stories, of little evils and great foolishnesses, above all he sang from the heart of the people. They loved him for it and for his courage to have gallows humor.

And the world goes on cheerfully
Always further… always further.
