# Franz Stelzhamer als zeitloser Wetterbote

Franz Stelzhamer as a timeless weather messenger
================================================

Dialect poet Franz Stelzhamer would celebrate his 220th birthday this year and Wetterhans Gessl, who is visually similar and presents his works in many contexts, also repeatedly presents the poet as the originator of WETTERELASTIZITÄT. Stelzhamer loved to spend his life outdoors in nature and liked to express this:

> *S`Weda und d'Leit
>  Haum oft mitanaund Streit
>  Aft denkt sö da Herrgott: "Iatzt ist's awa gnua"
>  Schickt sein' Lächln mit da Sunn
>  Daun is wieda a Ruah*

Stelzhamer's secret "hit" - A LUSTIGE EICHT - was written 160 years ago and in agreement with the poet, Wetterhans has composed a new verse for Vitalwelt:

 A funny story
 Has the Lord God blessed Himself
 Blessed and blessed himself
 Jerk in Huat waun's da gegnt

 The vital world is easy
 A funny story for everyone
 It's good for body and soul
 And the soul most of all

 "Vitalwelt" sounds so easy
 Like "A funny story"
 Moves body and mind
 And the soul most of all
