Diese achtundvierzig ausgewählten Geschichten sind vergnüglich, hintersinnig, nachdenklich stimmend, moralisierend - in jedem Falle aber unterhaltsam. Sie wurden in den Jahren 1811 bis 1819 verfasst.

Jean Paul, Goethe, Heidegger, Hesse, Ernst Bloch, Tucholsky, Canetti, W. G. Sebald, Walter Jens und Marcel Reich-Ranicki: Sie alle lobten und verehrten ihn als großen deutschen Erzähler. Aber, um mit Gotthold Ephraim Lessing zu sprechen: "Wir wollen weniger gelobt und mehr gelesen sein!" Höchste Lesezeit also (wieder) für Johann Peter Hebel und seine Biblischen Geschichten.

pedagogue writer Evangelical theologian dialectal poet
Johann Peter Hebel was born on 10 May 1760 in Basel, where his parents were employed in a patrician household during the summer. He spent half of his childhood in Basel and the other half in the village of Hausen im Wiesental, where his father worked as a weaver during the winters.
The father dying when the child was little over a year old, he was brought up amidst poverty-stricken conditions in the village of Hausen in the Wiesental, where he received his earliest education.
At the end of his university course he was for a time a private tutor, then became teacher at the Gymnasium in Karlsruhe, and in 1808 was appointed director of the school.
His poetical narratives and lyric poems, written in the " Alemanic" dialect, are " popular " in the best sense.
His Allemannische Gedichte (1803) " bucolicize, " in the words of Goethe, " the whole world in the most attractive manner " (verbauert das ganze Universum auf die anmutigste Weise).
Indeed, few modern German poets surpass him in fidelity, naivete, humour, and in the freshness and vigour of his descriptions.
His poem, Die Wiese, has been described by Johannes Scherr as the " pearl of German idyllic poetry"; while his prose writings, especially the narratives and essays contained in the Schatzkastlein des rheinischen Hausfreundes (Tubingen, 1811; new edition, Stuttg.
1869, 1888), belong to the best class of German stories, and according to August Friedrich Christian Vilmar (1800 - 1868) in his Geschichte der deutschen Literatur are " worth more than a cartload of novels " (wiegen ein games Fuder Romane auf).
Memorials have been erected to him at Karlsruhe, Basel and Schwetzingen.

In 1819 he became a prelate of the Lutheran regional church, a leading position that brought with it a seat in the Upper House of the Parliament (Ständeversammlung) of Baden.
He had success with his calendar stories in the Badischer Landkalender, and later with Rheinländischer Hausfreund (Rhenish family friend), but a dispute between Catholics forced him to resign as editor of the calendar.
In his last years he devoted himself increasingly to religion, becoming a prelate in 1819, but his wish to become a parish priest was never fulfilled.
His last works were biblical stories for young readers, which served as textbooks until 1855.
As a member of parliament he devoted himself mainly to education, the church and social policy.
Quotations: As he wrote in an autobiographical sketch, "there I learned early on what it meant to be poor and rich . .. to have nothing and to have everything, to be happy with the happy people and to be sad with those who cried"
Hebel became an honorary member of the mineralogical society in Jena in 1799.
