Arthur Maibach | EinigenEilige Reisende bemerkten allenfalls See und Berge und fuhren achtlos an einigen vorbei. Was sie dabei Sehens und Wissenswertes verpasste, hat der Autor Arthur Maibach in sechs Jahren Arbeit zusammengetragen.

Eilige Reisende bemerkten allenfalls See und Berge und fuhren achtlos an einigen vorbei. Was sie dabei Sehens- und Wissenswertes verpasste, hat der Autor Arthur Maibach in sechs Jahren Arbeit zusammengetragen. Das Titelfoto erzeugt Spannung: Die türkisfarbene Fläche dominiert und umrahmt den fast unauffälligen „schönsten Punkt der Welt.“ Dieser Titel ist keine Vermessenheit des Autors, sondern ein Bekenntnis des Wahl-Einigers und Schriftstellers Hans Müller. Bereits das Querlesen in Maibachs Fakten- und Geschichtensammlung schafft Verständnis für die Zuneigung zu diesem Dorf um die über 1000-jährige Michaelskirche – der Standort dieser Kirche mit der einstigen Heilquelle hiess nicht von ungefähr einst „Paradies“. 


Arthur Maibach, beruflich selbständiger Uhrmacher aus Leidenschaft, setzt die Geschichte von einigen – wie ein präzis ineinandergreifendes Räderwerk – zu einem abgerundeten Ganzen zusammen. Sechs Jahre habe er daran gearbeitet, sagte er an der Vernissage im Bootshaus der Creabeton in einigen. Dabei hatte der Autor im stetig wachsenden Ortsarchiv im alten Schulhaus und in Geschichtsbüchern recherchiert und sich mit vielen Bewohnerinnen und Bewohnern von einigen unterhalten. Doch Maibach wollte nicht ein Werk für das Archiv schreiben, sondern die Liebe zu seinem Dorf lebendig erhalten: «Tragt Sorge zu unserem Paradies, zu den Bäumen, zum Boden, zu Wasser und Luft. Aber auch zu den Menschen, die hier leben und Einigen erst lebenswert machen.» Sibylle Graf, Verlagsberaterin des herausgebenden Weber AG Verlags, umschrieb das Engagement des Autors so: 

Des Teufels Werk verdorben
Den Inhalt des Buches wollte Autor Arthur Maibach an der Vernissage nicht im Detail preisgeben – soviel sei aber verraten: Der Ortsname Einigen ist auf eine germanische Siedlung zurückzuführen und verschiedene Ausgrabungen belegen das Leben im «Paradies» vor bereits 3500 Jahren. Inwieweit die Strättliger Chronik des Eulogius Kiburger Fantasie und inwiefern sie historisch belegt ist, lässt Maibach offen – bestimmt legt die Chronik eine breite Zeitspanne des Mittelalters offen.
Zum Thema Kirche gibt der Autor dem langjährigen Pfarrer Ansgar Kühnrich das Wort, präsentiert die «Unservater Scheibe» aus dem 16. Jahrhundert in Wort und Bild und enthält so dem Teufel unter der Kanzel die armen Seelen vor.

Menschenwerk und Heidenhaus

Das sorgfältig recherchierte Werk von Arthur Maibach verrät auch, was ein «Bäuert» ist, dass die Kander durch Menschenwerk in den Thunersee floss, dass das Heidenhaus als ältestes Haus der Gemeinde schon im Jahr 1267 erwähnt wird, und dass die Schulhäuser in Einigen eine lange Tradition haben – teilweise sogar eine längere Tradition als die Schulhäuser in Spiez: «Als Jugendliche fuhren wir mit dem Velo von Spiez in die Turnhalle Einigen», erzählt die Spiezer SVP-Gemeinderätin Yolanda Brunner in ihrem Grusswort und verweist lachend auf die Tatsache , dass «Einigen nebst Faulensee noch vor Spiez eine eigene Schifflände hatte.»

DO NOT BUY THIS TOY FOR A DOG
Style: Hedgehog
I purchased this toy for my Mothers 11 pound female 10 years old rescue dog. Under 1 hour the dog chewed off all the feet, the nose, and then started to pull off the fur. We took it away. Dangerous!!! The description list for Aggressive Chewers it is not!!!

Very High-Quality Hedgehog Dog Toy That’s Bigger Than Expected
Style: Hedgehog
I am SO happy with this -- it's a nice surprise to get a dog toy that is this nice quality-wise! This plush toy is well-made and much larger than I thought it would be. The stitching is solid, and the material holds up to rough chewing. My dog’s been playing with it daily and it still looks good. The squeaker’s not too loud, and the soft texture makes it perfect for tugging or tossing.

Very Soft Toy
Style: Hedgehog
This stuffed hedgehog is very soft and has a really nice squeaker in it. I can already tell that it will absolutely not hold up to an aggressive chewer, but it will be fun for a day or two for my pup. It would probably be way better as a giant toy for a tiny dog, but it was so cute that I couldn't resist for my husky mix.

Brindle Boxer and yellow lab, 2 different approaches
Style: Talking Babble, Size: Medium
Our Brindle Boxer absolutely loves this toy! We got one of the small babble balls from a friend and "Baron" took right to it. Very funny watching him, once he realized that when he bumped or otherwise jostled it, it would talk! After about an hour of him tossing and "nosing" it around (not bad on carpet but on our hardwood floors, it can get a little grating), he started chewing on it. We're like, "OK, here we go, how long is this thing going to last now?". To our surprise, it's holding up pretty well. He's a chewer that can really munch down when he gets into a "groove" and it is taking a beating although it is not indestructible so keep an eye on it. There are 2 screws that hold the door in, which is crafted very well but be sure they are always in there tight. To avoid any issues, once we replaced the batteries the 1st time, we took out the screws and glued the door in and left the screws out. By the time the batteries are dead this time, the ball will be ready to throw out for sure. Not bad for longevity IMHO. Our dogs can chew a Kong ball up in a couple days once they get a crack in it. if there's a weak point on a dog toy, our dog will find it!....:-) Our other dog is Dusty, our yellow lab. Sweet loving dog with that "lab" mentality", all love and slobber :-) He looks at the Babble ball with mild amusement and walks on past it. Every once in awhile, he'll pick it up but that's usually only a ploy he uses when we're petting the "other one" (A name, we're sure Dusty uses when he refers to Baron). I imagine he would actually like this toy more, had Baron not taken it and cuddled it like his own new born baby the second it hit the floor and commandeered the 2nd one just as fast!! :-) The Small size one (A little larger than a golf ball) has ridges on it and takes a beating. Once it started looking haggard and the batteries started to die, we would put it up and only bring it out for short periods to prolong the life of it until we could find where these were sold. Baron had become "addicted to the darn thing! :-) He would whine and stare at it on the shelf for what seemed like hours until one of us would get it down and give it to him. Since the small one seemed just "bit small" for our Boxer for our tastes and surely too small for our lab, we decided to get the next size up. The Medium one has a smooth surface which also holds up very well although, that once "smooth surface", will start to resemble a Tennis ball after a while but it takes a licking and keeps on ticking! The "Talking" is amusing for us for about the 1st hour but it is a little loud with fresh batteries and can be annoying when watching TV or talking on the phone. After about a week though, the batteries start to drain some and the volume goes down a bit. Baron will only pick it up a few times a day from there on out so when he gets in the mood, he'll toss it around for about 15 minutes then leave it alone for a while. I can work with that. :-) All in all, We are impressed with the quality AND the "FUN FACTOR" for both us, and our Puppies! We're Babble ball fans for life! (Can we get a discount, if we buy them by the case? :-)

A GREAT FUN TOY FOR A FUR BABY, SMALL, MEDIUM OR LARGE.
Style: Blinky Babble, Size: Large, Style: Blinky Babble, Size: Large
I bought this for my 4 month old ShitZhu. It is the best toy I have bought for any of my 60 years of owning a dog. This little girl, Chrissy, named for my son who was 50 and passed away 10 years ago. She is the sweetest puppy I have ever had. She loves everybody, will go to anybody, child or adult, and loves other dogs, small - medium. She weighs 5 lbs now, but will grow to about 8-12 lbs. The best size for me, as I will be 86 in a few months and needed something small enough that I could handle it. My last dog at 15 I lost a year ago. It took me that long to see if I could handle a new puppy. I am doing awesome with her. It is me and her with my daughter seeing her every day on her lunch hour. This ball is something else. She plays with it all over the house, rolls it, moves it and even picks it up with her teeth. She gets so much exercise with this ball. I just bought one for my Niece's pup Poppy when she comes over. I also bought two large ones for my Son's two Healers that love to play ball. They haven't seen them yet. One for each that they will get tomorrow. I can't say enough about this ball. It makes watching the pups play with it for entertainment so much fun. This little one has made my blood pressure gone done. I have had dogs all my life and when I lost my last one, my blood pressure went up about 4 months later. I had never had high blood pressure. Since Chrissy came into my life (2 months ago) I now have blood pressure in the 120/78 range. She will keep me young so I can life a long, healthy and happy life. My Son in Heaven is making her into a little tom boy puppy. He would love her as a girl, but he has taught her how to drink out of a dripping hose. She is so fun to watch. If you have dogs of any size, you will love getting this ball for your fur baby and watch how they play with it. This is indeed a great toy. Have a happy life with your fur babies.
