    He was born in 1873 as Johannes Fries in Heidelberg Neuenheim. When he was young, he worked as a gooseherd on the Neckar and later as a carpenter.
    It was only later that he became "serviceman no. 73" at Heidelberg Central Station. He supervised the duels in the Heidelberg corps Suevia and Corona and played postillion d'amour for the students. They gave him the name "Muck".
    He was characterized by modesty, loyalty, quick-wittedness and helpfulness.
    He died on May 19, 1905 at the age of 68, penniless in Heidelberg. Nevertheless, he will never be forgotten as a Heidelberg original.
