Summary: "Soll die plattdeutsche Sprache gepflegt oder ausgerottet werden?" by Dr. Ludolf Wienbarg is a provocative scientific publication written in the early 19th century. This work delves into the debate surrounding the future of the Low German (Plattdeutsch) language, examining whether it should be preserved or eradicated. Wienbarg articulates his views on the limitations of the Plattdeutsch language, especially in the context of education and cultural progress, positing that its continued existence is a hindrance to the intellectual and social advancement of its speakers. In this book, Wienbarg makes a compelling argument for the necessity of replacing Plattdeutsch with High German as the primary mode of communication among the people of Northern Germany. He critiques the Plattdeutsch language for being stagnant, unresponsive to contemporary ideas, and a barrier to education and enlightenment. Wienbarg emphasizes the importance of nurturing a more universally accepted language that embodies the values and aspirations of a modern society. He suggests various methods to accelerate the decline of Plattdeutsch, promoting the adoption of High German as a tool for broader communication and intellectual engagement within the community. His contemplation intertwines linguistic considerations with broader societal implications, making a significant contribution to discussions about language and cultural identity during his time.
