Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BAUMBACH, RUDOLF (1840-1905) , German poet, was born at Kranich'feld on the Ilm in Thuringia, on the 28th of September 1840, the son of a local medical practitioner, and received his early schooling at the gymnasium of
Meiningen
 , to which place his father had removed. After studying natural science in various universities, he engaged in private tuition, both independently and in families, in the Austrian towns of
Graz
 , Brunn,
Gorz
  and Triest respectively. In Triest he caught the popular
taste
  with an Alpine legend, Zlatorog (1877), and songs of a journeyman apprentice, Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen (1878), both of which have run into many editions. Their success decided him to embark upon a literary career. In 1885 he returned to
Meiningen
 , where he received the
title
  of Hofrl, and was appointed ducal librarian. His death occurred on the 14th of September 1905.
Baumbach was a poet of the breezy, vagabond school, and wrote, in imitation of his greater compatriot,
Victor
  Scheffel, many excellent drinking songs, among which Die Lindenwirtin has endeared him to the German student world. But his real strength lay in narrative verse, especially when he had the opportunity of describing the scenery and
life
  of his native Thuringia.
Special
  mention may be made of Frau Holde (1881), Spielmannslieder (1882), Von der Landstrasse (1882), Thiiringer Lieder (1891), and his
prose
 , Sommermarchen (1881).
