How did Alois Hingerl become angel ALOISIUS ??? by globetrott
Alois Hingerl - Dienstmann Nr. 172 , aka "Aloisius" is one of the most popular caracters created by Ludwig Thoma.
Alois Hingerl was working as an outporter (I found this word for Dienstmann in my dictionary, but it sounds strange to me) at the trainstation in Munich and died during his duty.
He came to heaven and was not able to adapt to the "strange customs" of the angels singing Hallelujah all day long.
He started to shout at St.Peter and God, and so they had the idea to send him down to Munich again for 1 day every week , in order to take some letters with "advices from heaven" for the governement of Bavaria.
So angel Aloisius flew down to the townhall, took down his wings and thought, why not having a beer in Hofbräuhaus before delivering the letter...
In Hofbräuhaus he had one beer after the other, and could not stop it, but finally forgot the letter for the governement...
Aloisius is still sitting there, having his beer, and the governement still does not know what to do...
This is a simply translation of the story of Aloisius.If you are able to understand german, you might like to read the story, with all the funny details under this link :
