Schillerhaus

spent on his escape in September 1782 seven one half weeks in Oggersheim, two nights of it in the today's Schillerhaus.

Schiller works in its Oggersheimer time intensively and wrote among other things "". The Oggersheimer time was however for it a time of the emergency. Since it had fled as a regiment physician from Stuttgart had it on it to count, proven and to be arrested. It called itself therefore in Oggersheim Dr. Schmidt and dared it not to go during the day to Mannheim. It frightened dreadfully, when it received in Mannheim coincidentally, like a wuerttembergischer officer after him inquired and hides themselves the night over in the palace of the baron von Baden.

Additionally Schiller had also still money concerns. He hoped in vain for an advance of the Mannheimer of theatre for "The conspiracy of the Fiesco to Genova. Since its bring along and the forwarded money were spent soon, he had to sell its clock, and on the landlord board "Cattle yard"write down" leave.

In the Oggersheimer time Friedrich Schiller became financial by his friend, the musician Andreas Streicher, supports. This left it its to ready money, which he wanted to use for his own musical training.

After Schiller Oggersheim had left wrote down it Henriette of Wolzogen:

„Mannheim, the 11. August (Monday 1783.)

Still dato I was not anywhere as in Oggersheim, where the cure princess really resided and one showed me the lock and the garden. In the pub, where I have in the previous year 7 weeks used, I was received in a kind, which agitated me quite very much. It is something joyful by strange people to be forgotten."

Oggersheim and Frankenthal visited in the June of the yearly 1788 of Mannheim coming. It writes in a letter to its nut/mother:

„We came by the most beautiful avenues to Oggersheim, where the cure princess seat is. I came here into the same pub, in which the large Schiller was for a long time, after it had fled itself from Stuttgart. The place became so holy me - and I had to do enough to hide a tear in the eye which pushed me over the admiration of the large genialischen poet in the eye. Of the desire lock of the cure princess I cannot say anything actual - I did not see anything as houses and gardens, because Schiller went to me in the head around. Around noon we arrived at Frankenthal."

Workers' movement in Oggersheim

organized yourself in the Oggersheimer samtweberei first in that .

The process of this strike becomes 1928 in a special edition "Pfaelzi post office"described. One of the strike leaders at that time, Josef Queva, describes the cause of the strike, as follows:

"Old and young daily o'clock had to work, at noon gab's a break of one hour, for breakfast and Vesper was per 20 minutes approved from in the morning 5 to in the evening 8. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday had to be created in the evening still longer. "who did not keep the work time, became with the first absence with a half gulden, with second with a gulden punished and with the third time to dismiss."

The dissatisfied workers demanded in writing shorter hours by two hours and a wage increase of 25 per cent. Then eight workers were selected, who should submit the demands of the management and into the office of the director went. But after ten minutes they came back and by one the outstanding ones were asked, what they would have reached.

The answer was: „Nothing, we are all dismisses."

Thereupon the maschinenmeister explained: „Then we cannot continue working any longer"and the machine turned off. As itself the workers in the factory yard met the police by a special messenger were informed. It was also immediately locally. The director fell on the polizeikommissar to and called: „Mr. Kommissar, Mr. Kommissar, we need military! Telegraph immediately after Speyer!"

Commissioner Schaedler answered: „Mr. director, I does not see, to which we need military. The people are completely calm. They will want to reach improvements, and it will be most intelligent, if you negotiate with them."

„One negotiates to nothing!"the director cried,"on revolutionary way nothing is granted. They see, Mr. Kommissar, we get revolution, if you do not intervene. All ran away from the work, which were not yet there, since I am a director."

There Josef Queva stepped before and explains with reproduction: „Mr. director, you do us wrongly. We prepared jointly our demands, selected eight of our most decent workers, who presented the demands to you; and which you have made? They out-hunted our people like the dogs and to have them to suddenly dismiss. Thus we do not have, but you entered the revolutionary way."

Commissioner Schaedler added: „Mr. director, you hear it; it will be best, if you negotiate with the people."-

Eight days later the director was ready to receive the delegation. It wanted to grant however only one work time reduction of one hour. But since the workers wereFUL, one agreed on one work time from in the morning 6 to in the evening 7 o'clock. Only the workers had to promise to work in urgent cases longer. The wage increase was set firmly on 12 per cent. The workers explained themselves in agreement and resumption immediately the work.

The strike in Oggersheim was the first large strike in the Pfalz. The second large strike broke in out, where to 23. May 1872 four hundred Tuchmacher the work stopped. This strike took eight weeks, remained however without success.
