Langkau, Thorsten Kontowski and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Im Brauerhause: Novelle" by Theodor Storm is a novella written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a small town and revolves around the brewing business and the social dynamics surrounding a significant scandal involving a murderer’s finger supposedly found in a brew, exploring themes of superstition, reputation, and the impact of rumor on community life. The narrative follows the family of Josias Christian Ohrtmann, a respected brewer, as they grapple with the repercussions of the unfounded rumor that a severed finger—belonging to a hanged criminal named Peter Liekdoorn—was discovered in their beer. This accusation leads to societal ostracism and a decline in business, affecting not only their livelihoods but also their standing in the community. The loyal servant Lorenz plays a crucial role in the storyline, struggling with his own beliefs regarding superstition and his place in the family's life. Ultimately, the story culminates in the revelation that the finger is merely a piece of hardened yeast, restoring the family's honor but leaving lasting effects on their lives and relationships.
