The garden gnome must leave the dirty corner!

SecondDon’t let anyone grow old, that’s a dwarf. He is only short, but he wears a hat that makes him tall. It is as big as the god named Mithras, and as small as the Celtic demon, named Genius cucullatus. In the supernatural world, different standards apply-for example at the bottom of Moldo with Brecht. “The big does not keep the big, the small does not keep the small”, this is the connotation that rebel poets never thought of. Because the garden gnome of the Thuringian manufacturer is regarded as bourgeois kitsch by his peers. However, in East Germany, it traded under the counter and brought foreign exchange to the socialist countries through the exports of the state-owned company dwarf. Desecrated the respectable patron saint and ancient assistants, they are always ready to travel, rushing to people to lend a helping hand-as long as they are not found. The villain under the cloak was more notorious than the one under the hoodie now.

So, the red pointed hat of the garden gnome is the relic of the bearded Cucullatus, do they have to wear warm clothes in the Atlantic climate of Gaul and England? Or can it be traced back to the Phrygian hat made from the scrotum of a tanned bull. In ancient Anatolia, it was supposed to transmit the fertility and strength of the animal to the wearer? Homer knew this, and the Persians adopted it as a headdress, and later crowned Byzantine princes and popes in the Middle Ages. Mitra, the god of Vader-Persian legal order and loyalty to the alliance, also wore this hat. His Roman branch Mithras bequeathed his solar nature to Christ and his bishop “Mitra” . During the French Revolution, the “hat rouge” appeared and has since been regarded as a symbol of freedom. The German revolutionaries put the Jacobin hat on Biedermeier’s opponents as a sleepy person-a case history of cultural appropriation?

Infamous among scouts

In any case, German Michel was born, he is reminiscent of a garden gnome. Does he hold a shovel, pickaxe, wheelbarrow, or lantern in his hand, indicating that he is the industrious descendant of the dwarf miner or the underground element, who guards the inestimable treasures in fairy tales and legends, provided that they do not protect the victims like this Threatening princess Snow White. They are not beautiful. Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach created the first Baroque garden gnome out of marble. However, Shiren’s super-big head reminds people of the overgrowth of the “court dwarf” during the Renaissance, but he is notorious among the Enlightenmentists. In Goethe’s epic poem “Hermann and Dorothea”, a garden owner complains that no one is interested in his “stone beggars” and “colored dwarves”.

Nevertheless, in the 19th century, the garden gnomes began their triumphal march, passing through the foothills of the bourgeoisie, and soon passed through the distribution garden. And not only in this country. The first dwarf series originated in England around 1800. In 1856, on the northern slope of the Thuringian Forest, Heinrich Dornheim established Germany’s first dwarf workshop made of clay. The mass production of garden gnomes began around 1890. Gräfenroda became the European center of the “gnomish maker”, the manufacturer claimed to be because the garden gnome was still called dwarf until the 1920s. In England, they are still called “Garden Gnomes” today, as Harry Potter knows, they can also destroy a garden, just like Wagner’s Alberrich World. Reinhard Griebel, the manufacturer of Graefenroda garden gnome and the owner of the museum, knows how to cast, attach, model, fire, paint and paint harmlessly with clay Garden gnome. Through the “Countess of Roda”, he even invented the garden gnome. After all, there are particularly beautiful dwarfs among dwarfs.
