After the actress called the dictator a crazy owl in February 1933 in the Münchner Kammerspiele, she was immediately denounced. She fled to Switzerland just in time.
Crazy Eagle Owl
A good six weeks after Hitler was appointed Chancellor, the actress Therese Giehse had a stage rehearsal in the Munich Kammerspiele on March 13, 1933. During a break, she made fun of Hitler, who, it was said, admired her as an actress, even though she was Jewish. As can be read in Uwe Wittstock’s new book “February 1933”, she publicly called Hitler a crazy eagle owl and then told the joke about the father who was eating with his little son. The son asks: “Father, who infected the Reichstag?” The father replies: “Eat, eat, my boy!” The goat was immediately denounced by a colleague, but another colleague warned her. She then fled the city to her friend Erika Mann in Switzerland. It was not until 16 years later, in 1949, that she should be back on the stage at the Kammerspiele, the crazy eagle owl could no longer harm her. The eagle owl is a sublime bird, but of all people it is often used as a comparison for a crazy person, an owl, an eccentric. Spinning eagle owls or even wamped eagle owls are popular forms of increase. The adjective (g) wampert comes from the wampe.
Oachebär
The word Oachebea was recently presented on the Instagram page “mundartwertvoll”. This is not easy to identify with this spelling. The ending -bär comes closer to the solution. An oachebär is an acorn bear, that is how you could describe a boar, i.e. a male wild boar. Its main characteristic is the pungent smell. On that basis, a smelly person is called an oachebear. “You stink like a cowboy!” Is a popular accusation. An Instagram user commented that this was a filthy finch, “with loving emphasis”. That is of course to be doubted. There is nothing lovable stuck to an Oachebär. He’s just a Saubär. At most, the Oachkatzl, as the squirrel is called, is loving.
