The Fraa Rauscher from de Klappergass,
the hot e buckle on the egg,
whether it's from the Rauscher,
if it comes from the Alde,
this is clarified by the police.

It doesn't matter to us whether the lady with the bump on her egg was really called Rauscher or whether the name was given to her because of her favorite stuff. But the fact that the old woman from Klappergaß belongs to Frankfurt, like this naturally cloudy apple wine, is beyond any doubt. Raise your glass to the Hessian way of life and enjoy this naturally cloudy and therefore particularly unique pleasure.

Fraa Rauscher – like Ebbelwoi and Grie Soß, she is also a cult in Frankfurt. "Rauscher" is young apple wine that fizzes quietly in the glass. According to tradition, the woman named after this drink lived in the Klappergasse in Sachsenhausen in the 19th century. This district is known for its many bars. One Sunday afternoon she was found lying on the street with a bump on her head. An overzealous police officer constructed a criminal case around the question of who was to blame: the husband or the apple wine? This meticulousness caused ridicule, and the incident later became part of the apple wine song by Kurt Eugen Strouhs (text) and Norbert Bruchhäuser (music) quoted at the beginning. From today's perspective, the incident obviously seems neither banal nor funny. But it is all the more capable of stimulating discussions on topics such as alcoholism and domestic violence, which can be conducted excellently in bars... And Fraa Rauscher is, after all, honored many times in Frankfurt. One example is the monument, which is in the form of a female fountain sculpture and has been standing in Klappergasse since 1961. Depicted as a typical Sachsenhausen market woman, the figure carries a jug in her right hand and a basket on her left arm. But anyone who visits the fountain should be careful! Because Fraa Rauscher's quick mouth spits water at onlookers at regular intervals. The further life of Fraa Rauscher in Frankfurt's consciousness is multifaceted: she visits Frankfurter Eintracht and appears as the Ampelmännchen, and an apple wine from the Possmann winery and a daily column in the Frankfurter Rundschau are named after her.
