Hebelbund Lörrach

The Hebelbund Lörrach is a German literary society based in Lörrach, in the southwest of Baden-Württemberg. Founded in 1947 by a group led by the pastor and local writer Richard Nutzinger from Hauingen, it is the youngest organization dedicated to the life and work of Johann Peter Hebel, the best-known Alemannic dialect poet. The society is distinct from the Hebelbund Müllheim, another Hebel-focused association. With around 300 members, the Hebelbund Lörrach engages in a range of cultural activities, including the annual Hebel-Sonntag in early May around Hebel's birthday on 10 May, featuring a festive lecture called the Schatzkästlein and a Hebel-Gottesdienst. During these events, the Hebeldank is awarded to individuals who work in the spirit of Johann Peter Hebel. The society also organizes Literarische Begegnungen in the Hebelsaal of the Dreiländermuseum, where contemporary writers, singer-songwriters, and speakers from the German-French-Swiss tri-border area appear, especially recipients of the Johann-Peter-Hebel-Preis of the state of Baden-Württemberg. Since 2013, under the motto "Mit Hebel unterwegs," the Hebelbund has held encounters with Hebel's work and biography at locations significant in his life around the anniversary of his death in September. In 2019, a seminar series titled "Hebel lesen" was introduced. The society publishes the Schriftenreihe des Hebelbundes Lörrach, with over 60 issues since 1953, and from 1950 to 1955 co-published the journal Die Markgrafschaft with the Hebelbund Müllheim. The current president is the historian and Germanist Volker Habermaier from Schopfheim, who has held the office since 2015. The Hebelbund Lörrach is a membership-based cultural organization, not a commercial enterprise, and it plays a key role in preserving and promoting Hebel's literary heritage in the tri-border region.
