about Roque Gonzales

Roque Gonzales is a town and municipality located in the northwestern region of the southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Primarily German-Brazilians or Deutschbrasilianer from the old colonized areas of the state of Rio Grande do Sul settled Roque Gonzales. The original German settlements were often referred to as Altkolonie because they are located on the eastern part of the state (where Germans first put down roots, starting in 1824); in this case, more specifically, referring to such towns and municipalities as Estrela, Montenegro, etc.

Today Hunsrückisch or Riograndenser Hunsrückisch (sometimes "erroneously" called "Plattdaitsch" by locals) and in much lesser numbers Pomeranian are the two German dialects still spoken in this area. However, overall there is a decline strong decline in the number of German speakers.

It should be noted that Pomeranian has been spoken traditionally in Linha Quatro (or Dona Francisca) district of the municipality of Roque Gonzales. Dona Otília was settled primarily by Lutherans (or Luteranos, in Portuguese), people of Pomeranian descent. While most of the Riograndenser Hunsrückisch speakers have traditionally identified themselves with Roman Catholic customs.

The city of Roque Gonzales is home of writer Nelson Hoffmann who wrote, amongst other works, "Eu vivo só ternuras" which was translated into Italian as "Io vivo di tenerezze" by Marco Scalabrino. The book is about the relationship of a grandfather, the author, with his grandson - it is a book for all ages due to its universality.

The Premio Missões of literature of Roque Gonzales is headed by João Weber Griebeler of Igaçaba Produções Culturais or "Igaçaba Cultural Productions" (Brazilian literature, other languages to be considered, collective anthology work). Griebeler also is the editor of the local newspaper, the Jornal Igaçaba.

Roque Gonzales is located near the margins of the Rio Ijuí (or Ijuy River.) Not far from town the calm river turns into the turbulent Salto Pirapó waterfall. Camping is available in the area. It is a great place for bird watching, hiking a relaxation. This is also the location of a small hydroelectric plant built almost one hundred years ago and a fixture in local history.
