Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GRA-GUI
GROTH, KLAUS (18191899) , Low German poet, was born at Heide in Schleswig-Holstein, on the 24th of April 1819. After studying at the
seminary
  in Tondern (18381841), he became a teacher at the girls' school in his native
village
 , but in 1847 went to
Kiel
  to qualify for a higher educational post. I11-
health
  interrupted his studies and it was not until 1853 that he was able to resume them at
Kiel
 . In 1856 he took the degree of
doctor
  of philosophy at
Bonn
 , and in 1858 settled as privatdocent in German literature and languages at Kiel, where, in 1866, he was made professor, and where he lived until his death on the 1st of June 18og. In his Low German (Plattdeutsch) lyric and epic poems, which reflect the influence of Johann Peter Hebei (q.v.), Groth gives poetic expression to the country life of his northern
home
 ; and though his descriptions may not always reflect the peculiar characteristics of the peasantry of Holstein as faithfully as those of F. Reuter (q.v.), yet Groth is a lyric poet of genuine
inspiration
 . His
chief
  works are Quickborn, Volksleben in platldeutschen Gedichten Ditmarscher Mundart (1852; 25th ed. 19oo; and in High German translations, notably by M. J." Berchem, Krefeld, 1896); and two volumes of stories, Vertelln (1855-18J9, 3rd ed. 1881); also Voer de Goern (1858) and Ut min Jungsparadies (1875).
Groth's Gesammelte Werke appeared in 4 vols. (1893). His Lebenserinnerungen were edited by E. Wolff in 1891; see also K. Eggers, K. Groth mid die plattdeutsche Dichtung (1885); and
biographies
  by A. Bartels (1899) and H. Siercks (1899)-GROTIUS 62 r
