Beim heimatgeschichtlichen Verein in Oberndorf trägt fast jedes der Mitglieder etwas Persönliches zur Heimatgeschichte bei. Ich wollte dazu einen kleinen Beitrag leisten, indem ich eine Geschichte aus dem Londoner Decamerone vorlese und mit Erläuterungen darlege, welchen Bezug diese Geschichte zur Waffentechnik in Oberndorf hat. Ich war überrascht festzustellen, dass selbst alteingesessene Oberndorfer nicht wussten, was für einen großen Erfinder von internationalem Rang in Oberndorf die erste automatische Waffe der Weltgeschichte entwickelt hat. Es ist Fidel Feederle.

Final Remark
1. Regional History Association
In Oberndorf, we have a very active regional history association with more than 100 members. During their events, almost every member actively contributes something personal, either from their own memory or that of their family and relatives. While the town is small, it has an interesting history. However, I often get the impression that even long-established Oberndorf residents know far too little about it. Therefore, during one of the association’s meetings, I too wanted to make a small contribution by reading a story from a collection of London short stories, where weapons from the Mauser factory in Oberndorf play a leading role, and which are therefore related to Oberndorf’s history.
2. Churchill’s Pistol
For example, very few people know that Winston Churchill carried a Mauser C96 on him. He had received it as a birthday gift from his mother when he came of age. She must have been an exceptionally progressive woman, as she gave her son the absolute latest for those times, a world’s first and top-of-the-range sensation – the first automatic weapon to arrive on the market – and that was back in 1896. Hence the name C96. However, it wasn’t referred to known as “automatic” back then, but rather “self-loading”.
3. English Imperialism
Already two years later, in 1898, the young, now 23-year old, Winston used this weapon. England was preparing to take back the colony of Sudan on the upper Nile, which had been lost eight years previously during the Mahdi Uprising.
