User talk:Jakob Roider

Dear Sirs,

Under Freising on "Famous Citizens", I would suggest to include my grandfather called Jakob Roider (like me!). He died in May and I was born in August 1975 - my parents had no options I was the first child of my parents. My father is his son. Recent, before Pope Benedict XVI but after WWII.

He was a Sztanzel singer. He obtain a rare "Verdienskreuz" (medal) in Bavaria. 3 fountains have been build to commemorate him: 1 in Munich, 1 in Freising and 1 in Weihmichl (in that row).

He was born and his home town was Weihmichl (near Landshut) but moved after WWII to Freising and started his career has a foster. Ad-hoc he became a Sztanzel singer.

His talent in short, he said what people wanted to hear, amusing with a melody. You have to be Bavarian to understand him and not hoch-deutsch (classic). But Prussian understood him, he went to perform as a guest to Hamburg.

More, his guitar and more are now in a Museum!
