He is dressed elegantly in black, from top to toe, apart from a splash of colour: the red inserts of his modern shoes. He wears conspicuous glasses\u2014a huge spectacles frame that can easily compete with that of large-town hipsters.

His shop is a hat-enthusiast\u2019s paradise. An autumn specimen with a large leaf on it stands out on the shelf with the red models. It is filigree instead of pomp. In the drawers, numerous accessories, such as flowers and textiles with extraordinary patterns, wait for their turn to decorate ladies\u2019 heads. But there is much more in stock than the obvious: A summer collection hibernates in the wardrobe. Straw hats and cotton models pile up there. Richard has decorated one of the sunshade specimens with stitching in pastels creating an elaborate pattern. How many hats he has created during his long professional activity? Richard shrugs his shoulders. An innumerable number\u2014intended to increase even more. Retirement is not an option for him.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>However, he did quarrel with his passion when he was young: \u201cIt simply was no common profession for males. I had a hard time admitting it in public, in front of friends.\u201d He was supposed to undergo training in a bank instead. But he became sick. Richard didn\u2019t make an apprenticeship as a milliner\u2014he learnt the trade from his mother. He had acquired sufficient skill to take the examination as an apprentice, and later, in 1963, even as a master craftsman. Before these exams, he had worked in other companies as well, in the enterprise \u2018Samt und Seide\u2019 (velvet and silk) in Mannheim for example. \u201cJust imagine: 13 girls working there, and me, the country boy. The directrice plagued me,\u201d he tells the story, she threw his first hat on the floor and trampled on it because she didn\u2019t like it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13255\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-66.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13255\" class=\"wp-image-13255 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-66.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-66.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-66-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-66-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-66-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13255\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The little straw hat inside the glass cabinet is Richard&#8217;s examination piece.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A glass cabinet in his atelier tells another story of the past: the little straw hat inside of it is his examination piece. It is decorated with fruit made of fabric, grapes among others. He sewed a number of little details on it. Next to this model, there is a broad, beige hat with big black and red points\u2014an eye-catcher, not suitable for everyday use. However, if you produce special hats, you\u2019ll have special customers: \u201cWomen, who wear hats, usually like being the centre of attention,\u201d says Richard. He could pull many interesting stories out of the hat, but he is a much too confidential character.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13202\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-13.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13202\" class=\"wp-image-13202 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-13.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-13-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-13-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13202\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Courage to wear a hat&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In the 1980s, Richard worked for large companies and designers and supplied fashion shows even in France and the United States. Headgear has become unfashionable in the meantime, but he takes it calmly. \u201cTimes are changing. People do dress properly, but they don\u2019t dress up as much anymore.\u201d Today, everything looks more homogenous: \u201cEverybody wears jeans and a quilted jacket.\u201d The hat, an expression of individuality, doesn\u2019t fit in. Nowadays, when young women enter his shop, he has to make an effort to explain that he is well able to make every hat in red as well, but that he can\u2019t offer a selection to take along straight away like in a department store. He mainly produces unique specimens: the imitation-leather rain hat with sewn-on water drops, or the plain model with croc-leather ornaments.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-59.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13248 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-59.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-59.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-59-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-59-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-59-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Richard is always busy, despite of the fall of hat fashion. His business doesn\u2019t rely on passing trade but lives on regular customers. They come to the Odenwald from D\u00fcsseldorf, Frankfurt, Stuttgart or Pforzheim. \u201cThere are people, who accumulate shoes and there are those, who accumulate hats,\u201d says Richard. He knows women, who own over 300 specimens. One of his regular customers once told him that she has an entire room for her hats\u2014rather an entire apartment, added her husband.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13213\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-24.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13213\" class=\"wp-image-13213 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-24.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-24.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-24-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-24-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-24-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13213\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Richard has had Parkinson\u2019s for a few years\u2014but his hands become calm again when he makes hats.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The back room of the shop is the actual atelier: a narrow room in the shape of an L. The hat maker holds a piece of felt on a steam apparatus and, with a few touches, he skilfully pulls it over a wooden head. Richard has had Parkinson\u2019s for a few years\u2014but his hands become calm again when he makes hats. After a few stages have been completed, the fabric is gradually taking shape: simple headgear\u2014for the time being. \u201cI dearly regret that felt is not much in demand anymore,\u201d he says. He strokes the material, whose many-sidedness he loves so much. Sure, it is somewhat bulky and \u201cthis doesn\u2019t fit today\u2019s zeitgeist. Everything should be loose and comfortable today.\u201d When his mother could hear that today\u2019s customers would like to have washable hats\u2026 Richard grins mischievously. He works on various projects: headbands, a turban, everyday masks against the Corona virus. To this day, he still doesn\u2019t love sewing much, but he does love designing all the more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13199 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-10.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-10-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Julian-Beekmann-Fotografie-10-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The local of Walld\u00fcrn has taken part in many hat-making competitions during his career and has won a number of medals.

It is an unpleasant word with a negative overtone: The Nazis reintroduced the term to ban the French-origin term \u201cModist,\u201d Richard explains.
