Title: Better dead than slave - Pidder Lüng
Post by: Snafu on November 14, 2012, 07:22:05 PM

Pidder Lüng

is a mid nineteenth century German poem by Detlev von Liliencron (1844–1909) about a Frisian fisherman who kills a Danish tax collector. The Danes are then described massacring the fisherman's village. In the ballad, the rebell Pidder Lüng dumps the head of his opponent into a pot of hot kale until he dies. Here is the dramatic scene in a little diorama.

You are welcome to read the the poem in german language and view pictures on my blog: http://www.ganzklein.blogspot.com (http://www.ganzklein.blogspot.com)
