Ralf Frohnh\u00e4user holds the envelope in his hands like a trophy and feels its weight contentedly. He wanted to wait until he has sufficient time and silence to open it. It is weekend now and in the garden around his house in Hochdorf-Assenheim there is no noise but bird chirping and an occasional scraping sound by two tortoises in their enclosure. With a big smile on his face, Ralf opens the envelope in a ceremonial atmosphere: \u201cI look forward to this moment every year,\u201d even if it means a lot of work lying ahead of him. 51 poems and 22 pieces of prose packed in the envelope &#8211; all of them written \u201cuff P\u00e4lzisch\u201d (in Palatine dialect).

He supports local clubs with lots of commitment. And he goes into raptures about the \u201cpleasant spirit of community\u201d in the villages. Ralf is proud of contributing to keeping alive and celebrating the local dialect every year in the municipality. \u201cSo as not to become extinct, a dialect must be nurtured,\u201d he says, because it is much more than just daily language. It means home and belonging, history, live style characteristics and humour as well. All of this is inherent in the texts lying in front of him now. He doesn\u2019t know by whom they are written\u2014they are just numbered. But he does know: There would be one by Toni Ostermayer among them.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10731\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ostermayer_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10731\" class=\"wp-image-10731 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ostermayer_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ostermayer_3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ostermayer_3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ostermayer_3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10731\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Toni Ostermayer: The native of R\u00f6dersheim is a pioneering poet.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The native of R\u00f6dersheim is a pioneering poet and repeatedly won the competition. He even took part in the event format that preceded the official competition in 1987. That year, the local men\u2019s singing club \u2018Frohsinn R\u00f6dersheim\u2019 celebrated its 100<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary and it wanted to organize something special for this occasion: a competition in dialect speech. Response was overwhelming. Many more people than expected registered for it and the final lectures by the winners were such a big success that, the same day, the then mayor Heinz-Werner Ziegler decided to establish regular competitions in cooperation with the Volkshochschule public education centre in the Rhein-Pfalz-Kreis region. The first Mundart-Wettbewerb Dannstadter H\u00f6he competition took place the next year at the \u2018Radieselfest\u2019, the red radish festival.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Toni Ostermayer remembers the festivals with pleasure. He used to sing in the \u2018Frohsinn R\u00f6dersheim\u2019 group and submitted a poem. He had written speeches \u201cf\u00fcr die B\u00fctt\u201d (for carnival) before that: \u201cuff P\u00e4lzisch\u201d of course. Toni was born and raised in the municipality. He still lives in R\u00f6dersheim, in the parental home. He had left his home region only to undergo teacher training at university and schools. \u201cI ended up in the Westerwald region. They have a pretty dialect there as well,\u201d he says with a smile. He enjoyed comparing dialects and working out words and their origin. \u201cIt was there that I realized how deeply connected I was to the Palatine dialect.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI have never been able to express myself so emotionally in standard German.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Toni never tried to write poetry in standard German. \u201cDialect touches our feelings in a much deeper way,\u201d he says. \u201cI have never been able to express myself so emotionally in standard German.\u201d He writes about personal thoughts and experiences\u2014and usually with humour. But not always: When his niece died in the devastating tsunami in Indonesia in 2004, he used literature to express himself. \u201cThis helped me a lot.\u201d And it shows that the dialect competition is rather not about the Palatinate habit of wine-drinking, of \u201cWeck, Worscht un Woi\u201d (bread, cold sausage and wine).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10734\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ostermayer_6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10734\" class=\"wp-image-10734 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ostermayer_6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ostermayer_6.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ostermayer_6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Ostermayer_6-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10734\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Toni Ostermayer writes about personal thoughts and experiences.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Ralf admires the authors taking part in the competition. \u201cI am stunned at how they use language.\u201d He always finds it hard to classify the texts according to their originality, structure or content\u2014even though he is a teacher and, as such, used to this activity. \u201cI really find it challenging to assess art.\u201d He spends evenings studying the texts until he has determined his favourites.
