Reuter didn't return to help his father with his farm. His father just realized that his son couldn't study jurisprudence because of his (Fritz Reuter's) dipsomania (actually his father had wanted him to study jurisprudence). So his father took him back and sent him to his (Fritz Reuters) uncle where he enjoyed working as a farmer. His father finally permitted him to work on a farm in Demzin. After some time he began to write some articles in High German. After the success of Klaus Groth he decided to publish his Low German poems "Läuschen un Riemels". Furthermore his (Low German) works were actually just written "in the Plattdeutsch dialect of the author's home" in a more general way. He wrote in "Mecklenburgisch-Vorpommersch" as he stated in his "Läuschen un Riemels" however, the dialect spoken in his hometown is slightly different. He decided to do so because he wanted to be understood by all his readers. Moreover, I think that "Ut mine Festungstid" isn't that uninteresting because it is the first autobiographical work ever written in Low German. It is a little bit underrated in this article. --89.53.39.146 18:55, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
