INTRODUCTION 

Emil Frommel was a nadve of South Germany. Born at 
Karlsruhe, the capital of the grand-duchy of Baden, on Janu- 
ary 5, 1828, as the son of the director of the ducal art-.gallery 
of that place, he received his preparatory Instruction in the 
gymnasium of his native town. At the universities of Halle, 
Erlangen, and Heidelberg, he devoted himself to the study of 
divinity. In 1850, he was called as vicar to the village of Alt- 
Lussheim near Schwetzingen (Baden), whence four years later 
he went as vicar to Karlsruhe, his native town. In 1864, he 
accepted a call to Barmen, that great industrial center of West- 
phalia, and five years later the position of military chaplain to 
the Berlin garrison. Hardly had he become famihar with his 
new surroundings, when, in July 1870, the Franco-German war 
broke out As a field-chaplain he foUowed the army into 
France, Camping amidst his beloved " blue soldier boys " dur- 
ing the siege of Strassburg (Alsace), and preaching to them, 
after the surrender of that old stronghold, the first German 
sermon in St Thomas' church. In June 1871, on the tri- 
umphal retum of the Berlin garrison, Frommel occupied again 
the pulpit of the Garnisonkirche and delivered, in the presence 
of Emperor Wilhelm I and the allied German sovereigns, that 
memorable sermon in commemoration of the heroic dead. On 
the occasion of the I50th anniversary of the consecration of 
the Gamisonkirche^ he was made chaplain to the Imperial 
Court. 

In an almost daily intercourse with the Emperor, Frommel 
soon completely won the heart of the affable old hero, whom 
from 1872 to 1887, year after year, he accompanied to Wild- 

Ui 



IV INTRODUCTION 

bad Gastein, the famous watering place in the Austrian Alps, 
where in* the little Protestant church of that thoroughly 
Catholic district, the aged warrior joined the few Lutheran 
mountaineers in their devotional exercises, üstening to the 
words of his chaplain, whose sermon he could not a£Eord to 
miss — as he said — for a single Sunday in the year. " I am 
particularly indebted to you," once remarked the Emperor, 
" that in your sermons you never ref er to me." " Well, your 
majesty," replied Frommel, " I think ;that it must be quite a 
hard task for you to bear the crown six days of each week, 
and that on the Sabbath you should have a right to be relieved 
from your bürden and feel like a piain Christian in the house 
of the Lord." 

It was by no means in the £mperor*s household alone that 
Frommel was so exceptionally honored ; the highest circles of 
Berlin society, artists, diplomats, literary and military men, 
believers and infidels, all strove in rivalry to pay homage to 
the populär pastor of the Gamisonkirche, His wedding, 
christening, and burial sermons were master-pieces of oratory; 
though simple in conception and simply delivered, and free 
from all and every unctious pathos, they abounded with 
thought, true feeling, and poetical beauty. Frommel was 
destined to speak at thö graves of most of the great leaders 
of the war of 1870-71, including Moltke, Roon, Prince August 
of Württemberg, Alvensleben, Kirchbach, and Kameke; the 
danger of becoming on such occasions a panegyrist, he always 
judiciously avoided, thanks to his delicacy and independence 
of conviction. 

It would be a great mistake to suspect that the adulation of 
those f oremost in lif e and society was able to dazzle FrommePs 
sound judgment, or make him tum his back on the other half 
of humanity. Quite the contrary. His generous heart beat 
wärmest of all for the great Community of the poor and 
afflicted. The thousands of Berlin cab-drivers were his most 
devoted friends, and to the amelioration of the deplorable lot 



INTRODUCTION V 

of the German waiters he directed his loving interest. The 
endless train of mendicants who at all times besieged the par- 
sonage of the Garnisonkirche never knew him but " f rom his 
best side." 

What wonder that Pastor Frommel gradually grew to be 
one of the most populär ügures of the national capital of 
Germany, and this all the more because he, the southemer by 
birth, education, and mode of viewing things, had so com- 
pletely caught the peculiar Berlin humor and ready wit in 
address and reply, that in no wise he difEered from the true- 
bom Berliner. 

Amidst the most various and trying engagements, Frommel 
lived in Berlin for twenty-six years. What an immense 
amount of work he accomplished within that time, can be 
understood from his own Statement in his farewell sermon on 
Sunday, April 19, 1896, when he said: "While in Berlin, I 
have baptized 1838 infants, conürmed 1980 school-children, 
united in wedlock 1526 couples, and buried 1709 dead. Of 
the churches in Berlin, I have preached in all but one, and in 
sixty-five cities all over Germany I have delivered sermons or 
lectures." So we cannot wonder much that, on the occasion of 
the twenty-fifth anniversary of his Installation as pastor of the 
Gamisonkirche^ he submitted to his Imperial master, Wilhelm 
II — the present shaper of the Fatherland*s destiny — the Peti- 
tion for retirement from his Charge. His request was most 
graciously complied with, and at the same time he was com- 
missioned by Imperial brevet an officer ä la suite of the army^ 
a distinction never before in the history of Germany conferred 
upon a military chaplain. Three months later, in July 1896, 
Emperor Wilhelm II called him to his Castle, Ploen, charm- 
ingly situated upon the shore of the Ploener Lake in the 
Prussian province of Holstein, to superintend the religious 
education of his two oldest sons, Crown-Prince Wilhelm, and 
Prince Eitel Fritz. Füll of happy anticipation of a quiet and 
restful evening of life in one of the most idyllic parts of North- 



VI INTRODUCTION 

em Germany, Frommel entered upon his new and honorable 
duties with a truly youthful vigor and enthusiasm; but alas, 
after a few months' stay at Ploen, owing to an old ailment 
which reappeared under more alarming Symptoms than ever 
before, he was obliged to undergo a surgical Operation, and it 
was under the knife of the surgeon that on November 9, 1896, 
he breathed his last, at the age of sixty-eight years. 

FrommePs personal appearance was the harmonious repre- 
sentation of his inner lif e ; his kind and youthful face, bright- 
ened by benevolent blue eyes, was encircled by long and füll 
snow-white hair and made such a deep impression, that once 
seen it could not easily be f orgotten. 



As a writer Emil Frommel is best known as the author of a 
long series of short stories, which, on accoimt of their un- 
affected piety, vigorous language, and healthy humor, have 
become exceedingly populär with all classes. Eleven volumes 
are published by Wiegandt & Grieben (Berlin), under the 
general title ©efammelle ©d^riften, ©rjäl^Iuttgen, 5(uffäge unb 
SBorträge, and nine volumes by J. F. Steinkopf (Stuttgart) in 
2)eutfc^c Sugenb» unb SJoIfSbibUotl^ef. 

„SJ^it Slänjcl unb SBanbcrftab", With Knapsack and Thorn- 
stick^ the Story of the present volume, is the humorous account 
of a schoolboys' ramble through the Black Forest taken from 
the' author's own school-days, when a pupil at the gymnasium 
of Karlsruhe, his native town. 

It appeared first serially during the summer of 1874 ^"^ Julius 
Lohmeyer's 3)eutfd)e S^genb, at that time the leading German 
magazine for juvenile readers, and was later, under a difEerent 
title, appended to 5lu3 bcm unterften ©tocfwcrfc, From the Ground 
Floor (volume 52 of J. F, Steinkopf's 2)eutfc^c S^genb^ unb 
SSoIfgblbliot^I).

introduction vu 

The Black Forest and its People 

The Black Forest lies in southem Germany, partly in the 
grand-duchy of Baden and partly in the kingdom of Württem- 
berg, and Covers an area of about twelve hundred square miles. 
It is divided in two portions: the northem or, as it is locally 
called, the Lower Schwarzwald, which has Baden-Baden for its 
metropolis, and the Homisgrinde as its highest elevation, and 
the southem or Upper Schwarzwald, lying south and east of 
Freiburg, with the great mass of the Feldberg as its center. . . 

In their romantic seclusion, in their wild and lonely grandeur, 
in their pastoral richness, the Valleys of the Black Forest pre- 
sent as beautiful and varied gems of nature as the world, or at 
least Europe, can offer. They are among the scenes that rest 
in the memory as "joys" — joys of a peaceful and happy kind. 
There is associated with their remembrance, no shuddering 
recollection of hairbreadth escapes, no nightmare toils, such as 
may cling uneasily about certain Alpine adventures. They 
bring with them rather a vision of still contentment, a glimpse 
into the good land — "a land of brooks of waters, of foun- 
tains, and depths that spring out of Valleys," an echo of mur- 
muring streams, a lingering fragrance of pines. . . 

Though the Black Forest is traversed throughout its length 
by a railway, and that an exceptionally beautiful one, the real 
charm of the country and its most attractive features must be 
sought away f rom the iron highway. . . For the pedestrian the 
Black Forest is simply a paradise. The forest paths are, of 
course, delightf ully shady ; much of the most beautiful moun- 
tain-scenery is accessible only on foot; the excursions to be 
made in this manner are almost endless, and the distances are 
within the command of a moderate walker. . . 

The Black Forest offers no attraction of danger to the 
tourist. Here are neither glaciers nor avalanches, nor wild 
beasts nor brigands ; the wolves have been extirpated, and the 
old robbers* Castles, with which the heights were once plenti- 



Vlll INTRODUCTION 

fully fumished, do but, in their ruins, add a charm to the land- 
scape and a legend to the neighborhood. There is no streng 
excitement, and — except in the case of Baden-Baden — littie 
to recommend the district to lovers of gaiety, or to those whose 
tastes do not lead them to simple, out-door pleasures. 

To some the simplicity of the Black Forest is its greatest 
charm; old manners and old customs linger long in these quiet 
Spots, and the traveller who is shocked by the kindly f amiliarity 
of his village host, whose nerves would be startled to find his 
landlady offering him her hand, or sitting by his side to chat 
and keep Company with him during his evening meal, might 
well avoid its remoter parts. There is no question of obse- 
qulousness and condescension in your relations with your 
Black Forest host, but a pleasant kind of frien'dliness is at 
once established between you; and while you are under his 
roof, and in a measure under his care, there is no trouble that 
your entertainer will not take, to put you in the way of seeing 
the best points of the neighborhood, or in giving you advice 
and Information. Moreover, he will not overcharge you — or at 
least not much, for hotel-bills in the Black Forest are extremely 
moderate, and extortion of most rare occurrence. 

One advantage the traveller is sure of in the Black Forest 
inns, go where he will — cleanliness. The exterior of the 
building may have something of the appearance of a pot< 
house ; the stranger may have littie choice of food, but trout 
and veal cuüet, but he is at least certain to have the food 
cleanly cooked, and to be ushered into a bedroom which, in 
points of purity and snow-white linen, might put many a 
" grand " hotel to the blush. . . 

The dignified independence, shown in the manner of the 
village landlord, will be less surprismg to the Black Forest 
traveller, when he comes to make anything like intimate ac- 
quaintance with the Black Forest people. They are all 
Bauern^ that is to say, landed peasant proprietors, than which 
there is no higher title nor better standing in the land. " Here 



INTRODUCTION . IX 

lies the much respected Bauer T — " Here sleeps the dearly loved 
Baüerin^^ So we read upon the marble and gilt Grosses which 
adom the village church-5rard. — "She is a rieh Bäuerin^ that 
öne," says our guide, pointing to a woman who is making hay 
in a field ; <<she owns the land as far as you can see." 

That which they are, these simple peasant-souls have a pride 
in being. It is left to us of a more advanced civilization to 
take a pride in appearing to be that, which we are not. . .

Karlsruhe, July 15,1 18 . . 
Dear Robert:« 

I thank you« for your» letter, in which you write that next 
Friday* your vacation is to^ begin and that with your father 
and your brother Wilhelm you are to* leave for Switzerland* 5 
on (-the) Monday of the Coming week. I wish with all my 
heart^ that you may have fine weather for your joumey through 
the Alps' and much, very much pleasure.* 

Is it as hot now in Berlin as it is here with^<^ us ? We have 
a very hot summer here in Karlsruhe, and we schoolboys all 10 
hope that on account^ of the great heat our teachers may de- 
cide to close the gymnasium in a day or two.^ 

In reply to** your inquiry [as to] what I am going to* do 
during the vacation, I will teil you that with my younger brother 
Max and six friends and schoolmates I shall go on an excursion 15 
through the northem Black Forest; not by" (the) railroad or 
(the) stage-coach, since^* that would cost too much money, but 
on foot^^ with knapsack and thomstick. Our parents have 
promised to give [to-] each of us a crown-thaler for our ramble 
through the mountains. With such a large sum of money ^^ we 20 
hope to see the whole world.

The place of our meeting is the New Palace in Baden-Baden, 
at the entrance^s to the Underground vaults of the old vehm- 
court, and the day is Monday, the 22nd [of] July, at twelve 
25 o'clock. 

But now I will teil you also the names of the boys with whom 
we are to* tramp ; When last summer* you were here in Karls- 
ruhe, you made the acquaintance ^® of my two best f riends, Otto 
and Kurt von Roeder, the sons of (the) General von Roeder. 
30 Otto, the older brother, whom we call " Mole," is, as you know, 
an enthusiastic antiquarian, while^ Kurt, with the nickname^ 
««Wallenstein," is a passionate soldier, always armed with 
dagger, pistol, and powder-flask. Otto, the «« Mole," will be 
the leader^a of our travelling Company. — Do you know my 
35 classmates Hans Volckmar, called ** Hunter," and Friedrich 
Ranke («* Alcohol"), those two great collectors of beetles and 
butterflies? These two will also be with us. — Another of my 
friends is Viktor Reinecke, the son of the late Major^* Reinecke 
of Karlsruhe ; in our school the boys call him «* Schiller " on 
40 account of the beautiful poems which he writes. — The mineral-

Karlsruhe, July 26, 18 . . 
My dear friend Robert: 

When yesterday evening at^ six o'clock I retumed home* 
from our ramble through the mountains, I found your letter 
and the view postal-cards' which you sent from Lausanne 5 
(Switzerland) on July 24. What a beautiful country Switzer- 
land must be with her snow-clad* Alps, with her magnificent 
waterfalls, with her green mountain-meadows^ and blue lakes! 
I wish I could* be with"' you. 

But now I will teil you where I have been and what I have 10 
Seen and heard during our tramp through the northern Black 
Forest: 

[With the] stroke [of] twelve o'clock on (-the) Monday, the 8 
22nd [of] July we eight boys met* oh the heights above the 
town [of] Baden-Baden at the New Palace, each with a small 15 
knapsack on his back^^^ and a strong thomstick in his right 
hand. Our first excursion was down the long winding-stairs in 
the New Palace to the aiicient Roman bath, and from there 
through a long and narrow passage-way to the vaults of the 
mediseval vehm-court. ^^ Two heavy iron doors separate the 20 
passage-way from the anteroom and the anteroom from the 
main hall or hall of judgment. There we saw the stone benches 
on which in the days of the vehm-court the judges sat in their 
long black cloaks. Our guide pointed out the place ^ where 
the accused^'* stood waiting for sentence.^* He showed us^ 25 
also the dark comer where the executioner dressed in a red 
cloak waited for those who were condemned to death. In a 
niche in the wall stood the " Iron Maiden," a female figure 
which seized the convict^* with its iron arms and plunged long 
Sharp knives and daggers into his body. 30 

We were veryglad^"' when an hour later we left the dark 



54 EXERCISES 

vaults of the old vehm-court down there. Soon we saw again 
the blue sky above us. From the New Palace we walked 
down town and then again up to the heights on the other side of 

35 the Valley" in which the town [of] Baden-Baden is situated." 

Beneath a large linden on a farm opposite** the town we 

rested two hours. At three o'clock in the aftemoon we set out*^ 

on our way to the woodland village [of] Herrenwies, at the foot 

of the Homisgrinde, the^ highest peak of the northem Black 

40 Forest. Very attractive was the way up the Geroldsau Valley 
with its beautiful waterfall. Near the little chapel by the road- 
side we stopped while our f riend Viktor recited Schiller's f amous 
ballad^« «The Errand to the Forge." You know it is a long 
poem, but Viktor had all the 240 verses^ at his tongue's end. — 

45 At last, at eight o'clock in the evening, when it was already dark 
in the dense woods, we reached^ the small woodland colony [of] 
Herrenwies, where we wanted » to stay over night in the f orester's 
home, which at the same time is a lodging house. But alas! 
The forester had no room for us, since his house was fUled with 

50 friends and Sponsors who had come for^ a christening feast. 
So we marched on [for] another half hour, until at last tired 
to death we arrived at an isolated inn in the midst of the woods. 
— After a hearty supper^ consisting of ham-omelet we went 
to bed and slept tili seven o'clock the^ next moming. 

55 To-morrow I will write again and teil you what we did on 

the second day of our pedestrian tour through the Black 

Forest. Good night! 

Your faithful*> f riend

Karlsruhe, Julj 27, 18 . . 
My dear Robert: 

Ati eight o'clock in the moming — it was Tuesday moming 
— we left the large Black Forest-house where we had spent* 
the night, and marched* up the mountain over rocks, and 5 
heather, and moss. The higher* we ascended,^ the smaller* 
became the trees. After a three hours' march we reached the 
top of the mountain, 3600 feet above the village [of] Herren- 
wies. There we sat down, rested ourselves,<t and took a lunch 
consisting^ of cheese and ham-sandwiches, and hard-boiled eggs 10 
— and then we looked down upon the smiling country fars 
below US. What a grand prospect! At our feet* the beautiful 
valley-of-the-Rhine with its many rieh villages on the piain 10 
and the old Castles on the mountain-tops. And opposite us, on 
the other side of the river, Alsace, once a part of our German 15 
fatherland, with dear, old" Strassburg, «* the** wondrously beau- 
tiful city," so near and so clear*» before our eyes, that we 
thought we couldi* see the French soldiers Standing about the 
city-gate. 

At noon we left the summit and walked down the other side 20 
of the mountain on a narrow foot-path through fine fir-woods 
to the famous Mummel Lake, whose jet-black and motionless 
water surrounded^ by dark firs soon gleamed through the 
trees. How many pretty" stories and fairy-tales the peasant- 
people" here teil of (-the) Old Mummel, the^ king of the lake, 25 
and of his daughters, the^ beautiful Mummel-maids, who live 
down there in the bottomless deep! Near the brink^ of the 
water we seated ourselves on one of the numerous^ fallen tree- • 
trunks and listened** [to] our friend Viktor, who recited August 
Schnezler's well-known^ ballads, first« "Fairy-tale of-the« 3° 
Mummel Lake'' which begins thus^:

Our fiiend had not yet finished^ the second poem when all 
at once^ the sky above us was" covered with black clouds; 
the wind blew through the tops of the trees ; the thunder roUed, 

40 and big drops feil. We started up" and in the heavy rain we 
dashed through the woods and down the mountain. 

Wet to the skin we arrived two hours later at " All-Saints' 
Monastery," a^ famous abbey of the twelfth Century ,*> the 
ruins of which^ have been transformed into a forester's house. 

45 About«* the old forester in «« All-Saints," called «* The Wild 
Huntsman," and his wife; how we were received by them,* 
and what we saw and heard there — all this I will teil you in 
my next letter. 

In the meantime I remain with best greetings**
