<br />
Hey Mith! I saw, that you deleted the article about the German translator Hans-Ulrich Möhring (''The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún'') with the comment ''"Just not notable enough"''. Möhring was now responsible for the German translation of another posthum released work. ''The Fall of Arthur'' will be published under the title ''König Arthurs Untergang'' on 21 March, 2015 in Germany, translated by Hans-Ulrich Möhring. I think, that two translations of complex lyrics by J.R.R. Tolkien are enough to legitimate the existence of an article about him. What do you think? --[[User:Sigismond|Sigismond]] 09:08, 7 January 2015 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:For me, no (although others might take a different view). We have a painful habit on TG of creating articles about individuals which are essentially one line: "X is a Y who worked on Z." Is there anything (verifiable) to say about Möhring as translator of ''Sigurd and Gudrún'' and ''The Fall of Arthur'' beyond the fact that he translated them? --{{User:Mith/sig}} 09:14, 7 January 2015 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I see what you mean. To write something about his translation work on ''The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún'' (in my opinion) would make no sense in an English Wiki, so the only mentionable point would be the fact, that Möhring corresponded with Tom Shippey while translating. If you think, that the article is of no importance for Tolkien Gateway, then it's ok. I just wanted to know the reasons. --[[User:Sigismond|Sigismond]] 09:32, 7 January 2015 (UTC)</div>Sigismondhttps://tolkiengateway.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mith/2015&diff=262569User talk:Mith/20152015-01-07T09:08:30Z<p>Sigismond: </p>

As a leading editor for the editorial department for children's and youth literature, Roswith Krege-Mayer administrated the German translations and publications of comic book series like ''[[wikipedia:Asterix|Asterix]]'', ''[[wikipedia:Mickey Mouse|Mickey Mouse]]'' (''Micky Maus''), ''[[wikipedia:Donald Duck pocket books|Donald Duck pocket books]]'' (''Das Lustige Taschenbuch''), ''[[wikipedia:Iznogoud|Iznogoud]]'' (''Isnogud''), ''[[wikipedia:Lucky Luke|Lucky Luke]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Achille Talon|Achille Talon]]'' (''Albert Enzian'').<ref name="CF"/><br />
<br />
In [[1991]] a revised anniversary edition of the first German translation of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]’s ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' was published by [[Klett-Cotta]]. It contains for the first time the first part of [[Appendix E]] (''Pronunciation of Words and Names''), translated by [[Helmut W. Pesch]]. The translated text was improved by Roswith Krege-Mayer.<ref name="BIB">Ute Lachenmayer (Ed.): ''Bibliographie – 25 Jahre Klett-Cotta (1977–2002)'', Stuttgart 2002, p. 300.</ref> Susanne Stopfel emphasized in her essay ''Traitors and Translators: Three German Versions of The Lord of the Rings'', that Krege-Mayer had corrected some of the mistranslations made by the first translator [[Margaret Carroux]] but had added many others. Stopfel supposes, that Krege-Mayer was unfamiliar with Tolkien’s work and so particularly picked out apparent mistranslations at random, to correct them.<ref>Stopfel, Susanne: ''Traitors and Translators: Three German Versions of The Lord of the Rings'', in: [[Mallorn 43|''Mallorn'' 43]] (2005), p. 12.</ref> Roswith Krege-Mayer’s revised translation of ''The Lord of the Rings'' is out of print since [[1998]].<ref name="BIB"/><br />

<div>[[IMAGE:Margaret Carroux.jpg|thumb|200px|Margaret Carroux in 1977.]]<br />
'''Margaret Carroux (née Bister)''' ([[31 May]] [[1912]] — [[22 July]] [[1991]])<ref>Obituary in ''Frankfurter Rundschau'' (1 August, 1991), p. 27.</ref> was a German translator. She translated many French and English literary works into German.<ref>''Kürschners Deutscher Literatur-Kalender 1988'', Walter de Gruyter, Berlin 1988.</ref> <br />
<br />
Margaret Bister was born as the daughter of a German-born Frenchman in [[wikipedia:Berlin|Berlin]]. In her hometown she began to study economics, English and French. In [[1936]], Margaret Bister broke off her studies for personal reasons and began to work as a commercial clerk and foreign language correspondent. After [[wikipedia:World War II|World War II]], she worked for the military government in Berlin and translated newspaper articles. In [[1948]], she left her hometown and moved to [[wikipedia:Frankfurt|Frankfurt am Main]]. She had a short marriage to a civil engineer, with whom Margaret Carroux had two children.<ref name="EM">Maletzke, Elsemarie: ''Gegen die »Lektorateneinheitssoße«'', in: ''Börsenblatt für den deutschen Buchhandel'' 73 (13.9.77), p. 65–67.</ref><br />
<br />
Margaret Carroux began in the early 1960s to translate fiction and non-fiction books into German. She translated books by authors like [[wikipedia:Edna O'Brien|Edna<br />
O'Brien]], [[wikipedia:Chaim Potok|Chaim Potok]], [[wikipedia:Françoise Sagan|Françoise Sagan]] and [[wikipedia:Nadine Gordimer|Nadine Gordimer]].<ref>''Katalog der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek'' (http://www.dnb.de/DE/Home/home_node.html).</ref> Her most famous translation is that of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' (published as ''Der Herr der Ringe'', [[1969]]/[[1970]]), which she translated with the poetess [[Ebba-Margareta von Freymann]].<ref name="UL">Ute Lachenmayer (Ed.): ''Bibliographie – 25 Jahre Klett-Cotta (1977–2002)'', Klett-Cotta, Stuttgart 2002.</ref><br />
<br />
The ''"Carroux-Translation"'' of ''The Lord of the Rings'' was the first German translation of the book. A second was made by [[Wolfgang Krege]], published in the year [[2000]].<ref name="UL"/><br />
<br />
Margaret Carroux tried to capture the literary style of Tolkien's original work, to create the same atmosphere in the German version. During her translation work, she used the ''[[Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings]]''. In the original books, all characters differ from each other through different levels of language, from the formal archaic speech to the everyday speech. Some critics of Carroux accused her of standardising this linguistic feature too much, for a nearly constant old language-style. But many fans like her ''old-fashioned'' rendering, because it follows the original text's flow and style very closely.<ref name="RN">[[Rainer Nagel|Nagel, Rainer]]: ''Verschiedene Interpretationen eines Textes als Grundlage von Übersetzungsstrategie. Die »alte« und die »neue« deutsche HdR-Übersetzung'', in: ''[[Hither Shore]]'' 1 (2004), p. 85–117.</ref> In an interview in [[1977]], Margaret Carroux emphasized, that she had some disputes with the editor while translating ''The Lord of the Rings''. The editor wanted, against Carroux’s intention, a purely literal translation of the books and therefore, revised the unpublished translation several times.<ref name="EM"/><ref name="RN"/><br />
<br />
In 1991 and [[2008]] revised editions of the ''"Carroux-Translation"'' were published. The first one, revised and improved by Roswith Krege-Mayer, contains for the first time the first part of [[Appendix E]] (''Pronunciation of Words and Names''), translated by [[Helmut W. Pesch]].<ref name="UL"/><br />
<br />
In the second one, Stephan Askani, editor of publisher Klett-Cotta, and translator Lisa Kuppler corrected some place-names (some were retranslated) — especialy of villages in [[the Shire]] — and errors in the spelling of Elvish or [[Old English]] words and names in the text and the poems. The corrections are based on the ''Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings'' and the actual [[HarperCollins]] edition of ''The Lord of the Rings'' of [[2004]].<ref>Interview with Stephan Askani about the revised ''The Lord of the Rings''-Edition in 2008 (http://www.herr-der-ringe-film.de/v3/de/news/tolkienallgemein/news_24960.php).</ref><br />

[[File:LotR first German edition.jpg|thumb|350px|The first German ''The Lord of the Rings''-Edition, 1969/70|left]]<br />
In [[September]] [[1967]] Margaret Carroux contacted [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] through publisher [[Rayner Unwin]], about her work on translating ''The Lord of the Rings''. Carroux sent to Tolkien her translation of ''[[Leaf by Niggle]]'' to allow him the opportunity to evaluate her work as a translator of his literary works. She asked Tolkien for a meeting, too. But Tolkien was ill at that time and so the meeting took place three months later on [[13 December|December 13]], [[1967]] in [[Oxford]]. In early December Carroux had already sent the part of ''The Lord of the Rings'' she had translated so far (about a hundred pages) to Tolkien.<ref name="HS">[[Wayne G. Hammond|Hammond, Wayne G.]] and [[Christina Scull|Scull, Christina]]: [[The J.R.R. Tolkien Companion and Guide]], Vol. I: ''Chronology'', HarperCollins, London 2006.</ref><br />
<br />
After their meeting in Oxford, they corresponded with each other to discuss some problems Carroux experienced while translating, especially with the poems. Carroux sent him some scripts and Tolkien praised and elated her.<br />
<br />
{{quote|I should certainly not have taken the trouble that I took with your specimens, if I had not felt that you had the sympathy and understanding required, and only needed a little help and some encouragement to persevere in what is a very difficult task.|Fragment from Tolkien's letter to Carroux, [[29 September|September 29]],[[1968]]}}<br />
<br />
In the same letter Tolkien talks about his scrupulosity, if a co-translator, for example a lyricist, would read the text intensely enough, to understand the exact meaning or importance of the poems. Because of this, Tolkien extended to Carroux more help with the poems.<ref name="HS"/><br />

She translated many French and English literary works into German.<ref>''Kürschners Deutscher Literatur-Kalender 1988'', Walter de Gruyter, Berlin 1988.</ref> <br />
<br />
Margaret Bister was born as the daughter of a German-born Frenchman in [[wikipedia:Berlin|Berlin]]. In her hometown she began to study economics, English and French. In [[1936]], Margaret Bister broke off her studies for personal reasons and began to work as a commercial clerk and foreign language correspondent. After [[wikipedia:World War II|World War II]], she worked for the military government in Berlin and translated newspaper articles. In [[1948]], she left her hometown and moved to [[wikipedia:Frankfurt|Frankfurt am Main]].

Margaret Carroux began in the early 1960s to translate fiction and non-fiction books into German. She translated books by authors like [[wikipedia:Edna O'Brien|Edna<br />

<br />
Margaret Carroux tried to capture the literary style of Tolkien's original work, to create the same atmosphere in the German version. During her translation work, she used the ''[[Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings]]''. In the original books, all characters differ from each other through different levels of language, from the formal archaic speech to the everyday speech. Some critics of Carroux accused her of standardising this linguistic feature too much, for a nearly constant old language-style. But many fans like her ''old-fashioned'' rendering, because it follows the original text's flow and style very closely.<ref name="RN">[[Rainer Nagel|Nagel, Rainer]]: ''Verschiedene Interpretationen eines Textes als Grundlage von Übersetzungsstrategie.

The editor wanted, against Carroux’s intention, a purely literal translation of the books and therefore, revised the unpublished translation several times.<ref name="EM"/><ref name="RN"/><br />
<br />
In 1991 and [[2008]] revised editions of the ''"Carroux-Translation"'' were published.

<br />
In the second one, Stephan Askani, editor of publisher Klett-Cotta, and translator Lisa Kuppler corrected some place-names (some were retranslated) — especialy of villages in [[the Shire]] — and errors in the spelling of Elvish or [[Old English]] words and names in the text and the poems. The corrections are based on the ''Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings'' and the actual [[HarperCollins]] edition of ''The Lord of the Rings'' of [[2004]].<ref>Interview with Stephan Askani about the revised ''The Lord of the Rings''-Edition in 2008 (http://www.herr-der-ringe-film.de/v3/de/news/tolkienallgemein/news_24960.php).</ref><br />

In [[September]] [[1967]] Margaret Carroux contacted [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] through publisher [[Rayner Unwin]], about her work on translating ''The Lord of the Rings''. Carroux sent to Tolkien her translation of ''[[Leaf by Niggle]]'' to allow him the opportunity to evaluate her work as a translator of his literary works. She asked Tolkien for a meeting, too. But Tolkien was ill at that time and so the meeting took place three months later on [[13 December|December 13]], [[1967]] in [[Oxford]]. In early December Carroux had already sent the part of ''The Lord of the Rings'' she had translated so far (about a hundred pages) to Tolkien.<ref name="HS">[[Wayne G.

After their meeting in Oxford, they corresponded with each other to discuss some problems Carroux experienced while translating, especially with the poems. Carroux sent him some scripts and Tolkien praised and elated her.<br />

Margaret Bister was born to a German-born Frenchman in [[wikipedia:Berlin|Berlin]]. In her hometown she began to study economics, English and French. In [[1936]], Margaret Bister broke off her studies for personal reasons and began to work as a commercial clerk and foreign language correspondent. After [[wikipedia:World War II|World War II]], she worked for the military government in Berlin and translated newspaper articles. In [[1948]], she left her hometown and moved to [[wikipedia:Frankfurt|Frankfurt am Main]]. She had a short marriage to a civil engineer, with whom Margaret Carroux had two children.<ref name="EM">Maletzke, Elsemarie: ''Gegen die »Lektorateneinheitssoße«'',<br />
in: ''Börsenblatt für den deutschen Buchhandel'' 73 (13.9.77), p. 65–67.</ref><br />
<br />
Margaret Carroux began in the early 1960s to translate fiction and non-fiction books into German. She translated books by authors like [[wikipedia:Edna O'Brien|Edna<br />
O'Brien]], [[wikipedia:Chaim Potok|Chaim Potok]], [[wikipedia:Françoise Sagan|Françoise Sagan]] and [[wikipedia:Nadine Gordimer|Nadine Gordimer]].<ref>''Katalog der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek''(http://www.dnb.de/DE/Home/home_node.html).</ref> Her most famous translation is that of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' (published as ''Der Herr der Ringe'', [[1969]]/[[1970]]), which she translated with the poetess [[Ebba-Margareta von Freymann]].<br />
<br />
The ''"Carroux-Translation"'' of ''The Lord of the Rings'' was the first German translation of the book. A second was made by [[Wolfgang Krege]], published in the year [[2000]].<ref name="UL">Ute Lachenmayer (Ed.): ''Bibliographie – 25 Jahre Klett-Cotta (1977–2002)'', Klett-Cotta, Stuttgart 2002.</ref><br />
<br />
Margaret Carroux tried to capture the literary style of Tolkien's original work, to create the same atmosphere in the German version. During her translation work, she used the ''[[Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings]]''. In the original books, all characters differ from each other through different levels of language, from the formal archaic speech to the everyday speech. Some critics of Carroux accused her of standardising this linguistic feature too much, for a nearly constant old language-style. But many fans like her ''old-fashioned'' rendering, because it follows the original text's flow and style very closely.<ref name="RN">[[Rainer Nagel|Nagel, Rainer]]: ''Verschiedene Interpretationen eines Textes als Grundlage von Übersetzungsstrategie. Die »alte« und die »neue« deutsche HdR-Übersetzung'', in: ''[[Hither Shore]]'' 1 (2004), p. 85–117.</ref> In an interview in [[1977]], Margaret Carroux emphasized, that she had some disputes with the editor while translating ''The Lord of the Rings''. The editor wanted, against Carroux’s intention, a purely literal translation of the book and therefore, revised the unpublished translation several times.<ref name="EM"/><ref name="RN"/><br />
<br />
In 1991 and [[2008]] revised editions of the ''"Carroux-Translation"'' were published. The first one, revised and improved by Roswith Krege-Mayer, contains for the first time the first part of [[Appendix E]] (''Pronunciation of Words and Names''), translated by [[Helmut W. Pesch]].<ref name="UL"/><br />
<br />
In the second one, Stephan Askani, editor of publisher Klett-Cotta, and translator Lisa Kuppler corrected some place-names (some were retranslated) — especialy of villages in [[the Shire]] — and errors in the spelling of Elvish or [[Old English]] words and names in the text and the poems. The corrections are based on the ''Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings'' and the actual [[HarperCollins]] edition of ''The Lord of the Rings'' of [[2004]].<ref>Interview with Stephan Askani about the revised ''The Lord of the Rings''-Edition in 2008 (http://www.herr-der-ringe-film.de/v3/de/news/tolkienallgemein/news_24960.php).</ref><br />

In [[September]] [[1967]] Margaret Carroux contacted [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] through publisher [[Rayner Unwin]], about her work on translating ''The Lord of the Rings''. Carroux sent to Tolkien her translation of ''[[Leaf by Niggle]]'' to allow him the opportunity to evaluate her work as a translator of his literary works. She asked Tolkien for a meeting, too. But Tolkien was ill at that time and so the meeting took place three months later on [[13 December|December 13]], [[1967]] in [[Oxford]]. In early December Carroux had already sent the part of ''The Lord of the Rings'' she had translated so far (about a hundred pages) to Tolkien.<ref name="HS">[[Wayne G. Hammond|Hammond, Wayne G.]] and [[Christina Scull|Scull, Christina]]: [[The J.R.R. Tolkien Companion and Guide]], Vol. I: ''Chronology'', HarperCollins, London 2006.</ref><br />
<br />
After their meeting in Oxford, they corresponded with each other to discuss some problems Carroux experienced while translating, especially with the poems. Carroux sent him some scripts and Tolkien praised and elated her.<br />
<br />
{{quote|I should certainly not have taken the trouble that I took with your specimens, if I had not felt that you had the sympathy and understanding required, and only needed a little help and some encouragement to persevere in what is a very difficult task.|Fragment from Tolkien's letter to Carroux, [[29 September|September 29]],[[1968]]}}<br />
<br />
In the same letter Tolkien talks about his scrupulosity, if a co-translator, for example a lyricist, would read the text intensely enough, to understand the exact meaning or importance of the poems. Because of this, Tolkien extended to Carroux more help with the poems.<ref name="HS"/><br />

I won't edit them for now because you "claimed" them (I don't know if we do that, but I would be pissed when someone rewrote [[Glamdring]] now). I just like to say we have a slightly different lay-out for persons here; dates are written in full to prevent misunderstandings, and are linked. No * and †, no towns. Look at any other author's page for examples.<br><br />
Oh, and on Carroux, there's no need to call them Part One, Second Part (or Part Two, for that matter) et cetera. <br><br />
Keep up the good work. -- [[User:Ederchil|Ederchil]] 08:51, 12 May 2008 (EDT)<br />

Hi, Sigismond! Just a quick message to inform you that we are holding our next [[Tolkien Gateway:Meetings|Meeting]] on [[Tolkien Gateway:Meetings/5 September 2010|Sunday, 5<sup>th</sup> September 2010]] at 7pm [[wikipedia:UTC|UTC]]. Whether you are or aren't able to attend, please sign your name on the [[Tolkien Gateway talk:Meetings/5 September 2010|here]].

==Hans-Jörg Modlmayr==<br />
<br />
Hello Sigismond! I created a page for [[Hans-Jörg Modlmayr]]. Perhaps you'd like to have a quick look at the article, as there might be more Tolkien-related information to add. I've noticed that he usually figures in sales of Tolkien's works in Germany -- is it only as a reviewer featured the covers or has he also contributed with postscripts? Thanks! --[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 10:38, 2 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi Morgan! Hans-Jörg Modlmayr never wrote prefaces or postscripts for German editions. Modlmayr is often only cited, as you already noticed, on sites, where you can buy German Tolkien editions. I know (because I have this edition on my own) that he is cited at least on the back cover of the one volume edition (red edition; 2000) of the new German translation of ''The Lord of the Rings'' by Wolfgang Krege. <br />
:Modlmayr is one of the German Tolkien-experts, who have taken a clear position for the new translation. On the site of the DTG there is a transcription of an old radio interview aired on December 10, 2001 on the German broadcaster WDR 5. The theme of the interview was the new German translation of ''The Lord of the Rings'', the interviewer spoke with translator Wolfgang Krege and Hans-Jörg Modlmayr ([http://www.tolkiengesellschaft.de/v4/alleszutolkien/uebersetzung/uebersetzungradio.shtml link]). In this interview, there are (unfortunately) no further significant information about Modlmayr, except that he became acquainted with Tolkien’s work in 1964, when he studied at Camebridge. <br />
:I found also a reference to a German article about Tolkien by Modlmayr (a memorial publication on the 10th anniversary of J.R.R. Tolkien’s death), titled: "Die ahnungsvollen Tintenklekser. J.R.R. Tolkien – dem Autor des 'Herrn der Ringe' und des 'Hobbits' - zum 10. Todestag am 2. September". Published in ''Deutsches Allgemeines Sonntagsblatt'' (1983, No. 36). I hope I could help you? --[[User:Sigismond|Sigismond]] 13:14, 2 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Many thanks for the information and the links! I'll see if I can add something more to the article (and of course, feel free to edit the article whenever you have time).--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 13:28, 2 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Fritz M.==<br />
<br />
Thanks for a good collaboration on the above article! If I may take a little bit more of your time, we recently had an article created about [[Fritz Möser]]. The connection of this guy to Tolkien is of course more obscure, though, and I suspect it will be tricky to find more information.--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 19:08, 3 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hello Morgan! I think, that Fritz Möser is a case, which is more complicate... He is an artist who works especially with the linocut printing technique ("Linolschneider" = someone who produces linocuts). Born 1932 in Bensen (today: Benešov nad Ploučnicí in the Czech Republic) in the former Czechoslovakia, his family escaped after WWII from their former home and moved to the German town of Memmingen. There, his father founded a printing press, where Möser worked as a typesetter till 1982, when it was closed. Fritz Möser learned the linocut technique autodidactic and began to illustrate diferent texts and books. In 1965 Möser opened his first exhibition in Füssen, which was followed by over 250 further exhibitions, for example in Berlin, Heidelberg, Munich, Milan, London, Oxford and Cambridge. Around the time, when the printing press of his father was closed, Möser stoped his artistic activities. <br />
:The interesting thing is, that Möser’s exhibitions were for the most part organised by [[Hans-Jörg Modlmayr]](!) and his wife Hildegard Modlmayr-Heimath (see [[wikipedia:http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_M%C3%B6serwikipedia|Wikipedia]] and this passage on the [http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/deptserv/german/spotlight2.html New German Donation] in the Germanic Collection on the website of the University of Camebridge). I think, that there is a link! I don't think that Möser personally sent any of his works to Tolkien, but maybe Modlmayr did and told Tolkien about his friend the artist? In my eyes, that would make sense! Have a look at ''Chronology'' by Hammond/Scull, there is an entry for 14 March 1967: "''[...] Tolkien writes to Alina Dadlez. He encloses a letter from a German apparently proposing an illustrated edition of ''The Lord of the Rings''. It is not clear if he is proposing himself as the artist, or if it is the English edition or the German edition that he thinks should be illustrated. 'As far as an English edition goes', Tolkien writes, 'I myself am not all anxious for ''The Lord of the Rings'' to be illustrated by anybody whether a genius or not' (Tolkien-George Allen & Unwin archive, HarperCollins).''" (Hammond/Scull, p. 692) It’s a pity, that Hammond and Scull could not give the name of "the German". But, when I look at the German auction site (especially on the date of the letter), it could be possible, that Modlmayr was "the German", who wanted his friend Fritz Möser to illustrate ''The Lord of the Rings''... for nothing is known about a correspondence between Möser and Tolkien. This would be my explanation, but the sources only verify the connection between Fritz Möser and Hans-Jörg Modlmayr. --[[User:Sigismond|Sigismond]] 08:47, 4 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Most interesting! --[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 06:21, 5 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::Maybe, the connection of Modlmayr and Möser should be added in both articles (possibly with a comment about the evantuality, that Tolkien knew Möser about Modlmayr)? What do you think, Morgan? Or are the sources too weak? --[[User:Sigismond|Sigismond]] 06:31, 6 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::::I think that the issue is worth investigating further. Perhaps we could discuss this through email? Would you mind sending me an email at {{Nospam|morgan|tolkienindex.net}}? --[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 09:13, 6 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

I won't edit them for now because you "claimed" them (I don't know if we do that, but I would be pissed when someone rewrote [[Glamdring]] now). I just like to say we have a slightly different lay-out for persons here; dates are written in full to prevent misunderstandings, and are linked. No * and †, no towns. Look at any other author's page for examples.<br><br />
Oh, and on Carroux, there's no need to call them Part One, Second Part (or Part Two, for that matter) et cetera. <br><br />

This would be my explanation, but the sources only verify the connection between Fritz Möser and Hans-Jörg Modlmayr. --[[User:Sigismond|Sigismond]] 08:47, 4 June 2012 (UTC)</div>Sigismondhttps://tolkiengateway.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sigismond&diff=193808User talk:Sigismond2012-06-04T11:29:53Z<p>Sigismond: /* Fritz M. */</p>

==Hans-Jörg Modlmayr==<br />
<br />
Hello Sigismond! I created a page for [[Hans-Jörg Modlmayr]]. Perhaps you'd like to have a quick look at the article, as there might be more Tolkien-related information to add. I've noticed that he usually figures in sales of Tolkien's works in Germany -- is it only as a reviewer featured the covers or has he also contributed with postscripts? Thanks! --[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 10:38, 2 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hi Morgan! Hans-Jörg Modlmayr never wrote prefaces or postscripts for German editions. Modlmayr is often only cited, as you already noticed, on sites, where you can buy German Tolkien editions. I know (because I have this edition on my own) that he is cited at least on the back cover of the one volume edition (red edition; 2000) of the new German translation of ''The Lord of the Rings'' by Wolfgang Krege. <br />
:Modlmayr is one of the German Tolkien-experts, who have taken a clear position for the new translation. On the site of the DTG there is a transcription of an old radio interview aired on December 10, 2001 on the German broadcaster WDR 5. The theme of the interview was the new German translation of ''The Lord of the Rings'', the interviewer spoke with translator Wolfgang Krege and Hans-Jörg Modlmayr ([http://www.tolkiengesellschaft.de/v4/alleszutolkien/uebersetzung/uebersetzungradio.shtml link]). In this interview, there are (unfortunately) no further significant information about Modlmayr, except that he became acquainted with Tolkien’s work in 1964, when he studied at Camebridge. <br />
:I found also a reference to a German article about Tolkien by Modlmayr (a memorial publication on the 10th anniversary of J.R.R. Tolkien’s death), titled: "Die ahnungsvollen Tintenklekser. J.R.R. Tolkien – dem Autor des 'Herrn der Ringe' und des 'Hobbits' - zum 10. Todestag am 2. September". Published in ''Deutsches Allgemeines Sonntagsblatt'' (1983, No. 36). I hope I could help you? --[[User:Sigismond|Sigismond]] 13:14, 2 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Many thanks for the information and the links! I'll see if I can add something more to the article (and of course, feel free to edit the article whenever you have time).--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 13:28, 2 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Fritz M.==<br />
<br />
Thanks for a good collaboration on the above article! If I may take a little bit more of your time, we recently had an article created about [[Fritz Möser]]. The connection of this guy to Tolkien is of course more obscure, though, and I suspect it will be tricky to find more information.--[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 19:08, 3 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Hello Morgan! I think, that Fritz Möser is a case, which is more complicate... He is an artist who works especially with the linocut printing technique ("Linolschneider" = someone who produces linocuts). Born 1932 in Bensen (today: Benešov nad Ploučnicí in the Czech Republic) in the former Czechoslovakia, his family escaped at the End of WWII from their former home and moved to the German town of Memmingen. There, his father founded a printing press, where Möser worked as a typesetter till 1982, when it was closed. Fritz Möser learned the linocut technique autodidactic and began to illustrate diferent texts and books. In 1965 Möser opened his first exhibition in Füssen, which was followed by over 250 further exhibitions, for example in Berlin, Heidelberg, Munich, Milan, London, Oxford and Cambridge. Around the time, when the printing press of his father was closed, Möser stoped his artistic activities. <br />
:The interesting thing is, that Möser’s exhibitions were for the most part organised by [[Hans-Jörg Modlmayr]](!) and his wife Hildegard Modlmayr-Heimath (see [[wikipedia:http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_M%C3%B6serwikipedia|Wikipedia]] and this passage on the [http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/deptserv/german/spotlight2.html New German Donation] in the Germanic Collection on the website of the University of Camebridge). I think, that there is a link! I don't think that Möser personally sent any of his works to Tolkien, but maybe Modlmayr did and told Tolkien about his friend the artist? In my eyes, that would make sense! Have a look at ''Chronology'' by Hammond/Scull, there is an entry for 14 March 1967: "''[...] Tolkien writes to Alina Dadlez. He encloses a letter from a German apparently proposing an illustrated edition of ''The Lord of the Rings''. It is not clear if he is proposing himself as the artist, or if it is the English edition or the German edition that he thinks should be illustrated. 'As far as an English edition goes', Tolkien writes, 'I myself am not all anxious for ''The Lord of the Rings'' to be illustrated by anybody whether a genius or not' (Tolkien-George Allen & Unwin archive, HarperCollins).''" (Hammond/Scull, p. 692) It’s a pity, that Hammond and Scull could not give the name of "the German". But, when I look at the German auction site (especially on the date of the letter), it could be possible, that Modlmayr was "the German", who wanted his friend Fritz Möser to illustrate ''The Lord of the Rings''... for nothing is known about a correspondence between Möser and Tolkien.

<div>'''Hans-Jörg Modlmayr''' (b. [[6 March]] [[1940]]) is a German author and broadcaster. He studied history and English at Peterhouse College in Cambridge.
