Mein Bild
In Mori (Stockelsdorf) bei Lübeck aufgewachsen, habe ich bereits von 1916 bis 1918 am Ersten Weltkrieg im Füsilierregiment "Königin" Nr. 86 teilgenommen. Im August 1939 wurde ich als Veteran in die Wehrmacht eingezogen. In diesem Blog veröffentliche ich mein Kriegstagebuch.

23. Januar 1940

Vormittags lese ich die kleine Schrift „Vom Lebensglück in Lübeck“. Kein Dienst. Es werden Vorbereitungen für den Abmarsch getroffen.
  
In the morning, I read the little booklet "On the joy of living in Lübeck". No duty. Preparations for marching off are made.

    1. I tried to find out about this author, but without success. "Blessed life" would definitely in English suggest a Roman Catholic book about how to lead a virtuous life.
      Is Dieter Catholic?
      I assumed that this pamphlet too is about Heimatskunde.

    "joy of life; delight in life; lust for life"

  4. Actually "Lebensglück" does not really refer to a religious context. Neither would the term "Heimatkunde" describe it, which is more scientific.
    The word means a certain level of happiness to live in Lübeck. To just feel glad about one's own life and the general situation.
    Maybe "Happiness" is a better term?

  5. Definitely. "Blessed" in English is always in a religious and almost always in a Catholic context. There really is not a term that I can think of which expresses the whole weight of the German word.
    If we need something stronger than "happiness", the best I can do is "On the joy of living in Lübeck" which just sounds a bit exaggerated, but you are a native speaker and can judge what fits better.
