Carpe Diem – das Motto unserer Zeit - ein Gruß an meine Leser*innen...

Jetzt, quasi am Höhepunkt der Überraschungssaison, zwischen Schleifchen, Buntpapier und Glitzer, kommt mir die Idee, dass ich doch mal in die Glaskugel schauen könnte. Was verspricht sie uns jetzt zum Jahresende an Highlights für die Handwerks- und Designkultur für das kommenden Jahr? Es heisst ja immer, die Vorfreude sei die beste Freude! Positive Zuversicht und die Energie, wenigstens im…

Madame d’Ora (Dora Kallmus), Entertainer Josephine Baker, 1928.

Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg. "I have walked into the palaces of kings and queens and into the houses of presidents. And much more. But I could not walk into a hotel in America and get a cup of coffee, and that made me mad. And when I get mad, you know that I open my big mouth. And then look out, 'cause when Josephine opens her mouth, they hear it all over the world ..." – Josephine Baker

The Mummy Wreck

This is what you might call the wreck of the Gottfried when it sank on 12 March 1822 with ancient Egyptian artefacts between Cuxhaven and the west of the island of Trischen near the mouth of the river Eider.

The Gottfried was a Danish-flagged galleass launched in 1815. She was about 20m long and had two masts. Her captain was Heinrich Jacob Riesbeck and with him sailed a crew of 8. At the time of her sinking, she was carrying 97 boxes of Egyptian art treasures, which the Prussian nobleman Baron Heinrich Menu von Minutoli had acquired in Egypt for King Frederick William III in order to lay the foundations for Prussia's own Egyptian collection. Minutoli had spared nothing in his purchases. He had acquired mummies, animal mummies, altars, vessels, figures of gods, a door frame and papyri. Mehmed Ali Pasha, governor of the Ottoman province of Egypt, had even added an Arabian marquee as a gift to the baron. In addition, there was the top of a pyramid and a sarcophagus of red granite weighing several tons. 

The loss of the Gottfried, by unknown (x)

But now the Gottfried was caught in a hurricane and the heavy cargo seemed to have been her undoing, for it smashed through the hull and sank the ship. All those present had no chance to save themselves and went down with the valuables. At first no one knew that the Gottfried had sunk, but when the first mummies were gradually washed up on the beach, they knew that something had happened. And immediately, dike count Georg Wilhelm Schmeelke, mayor in the service of the Duke of Bremen and Verden, began to note down what the sea washed up on the left bank of the Elbe between Cuxhaven and Balje in the coming days: an ostrich egg, rams' horns, mummified fish, corals and two boxes with various books, letters, maps and diaries. The ceremonial tent also made it to the Elbe beach completely torn to pieces - as did seven sarcophagi with their mummies. The discovery caused great horror, as the plague was raging in Egypt at the time. The dead were hastily buried in the sand on the shore.

But the ship had been insured and now owed Minutoli 27,000 marks, and in order to compensate for this high loss to some extent, everything that had been washed up on the beach was gathered together and even the dead had to be dug up again. These finds were then auctioned off. Much to the delight of Hamburg's merchants, because now they too could hold their own mummy parties and not have to look enviously to London. In the course of time, a few pieces came to various museums, including the gilded head of a male mummy. In 2003, a small box with a linen bandage and a mummy's curl was added, which had been in a magazine in the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg.

The rest is still missing, as is the wreck of the Gottfried. It has probably long since disappeared, but the sarcophagus and the pyramid top are probably still there.
