Erinnerungen an den Großvater
(Memories of my grandfather)
In his memoirs Gathering Evidence, Thomas Bernhard called his grandfather, the author Johannes Freumbichler, his 'great explainer', the first, the most important, essentially the only one. In the filmed monologue Three Days, he emphasises that his male characters are usually based on 'my maternal grandfather'. In actual fact, the most important person in Bernhard's early years became the role model for protagonists that were eccentric, patriarchal artists and 'intellectuals' on the fringes of society in many of his texts.
The man and the author Johannes Freumbichler (1881–1949) can be rediscovered through Thomas Bernhard's memories of him. These days, few people are even aware of his novels Philomena Ellenhub and Auszug und Heimkehr des Jodok Fink, which were quite successful in the 1930s and 1940s.
