REDWITZ, OSKAR, FREIHERR VON (1823-1891)

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 972 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
REDWITZ, OSKAR, FREIHERR VON (1823-1891) , German poet, was born at Lichtenau, near Ansbach, on the 28th of June 1823. Having studied at the universities of
Munich
  and Erlangen, he was apprenticed to the law in the Bavarian State service (1846-49). He next (1849-50) studied languages and literature at
Bonn
 , and in 1851 was appointed professor of aesthetics and of the history of literature at Vienna. In 1852, however, he gave up this post and retired to his estate of Schellenberg, near Kaiserslautern. The pious sentimentality of his romantic epic Amaranth (1849; 42nd ed., 1898) had already gained him enthusiastic admirers, and this
work
  was followed, in 1850, by Ein Marchen and by Gedichte (1852) and the tragedy Sieglinde (1854). He next settled on his estates near Kronach, and here wrote the tragedy
Thomas
  Morus (1856), the historical dramas Philippine
Welser
  (1859) and Der Zunftmeister von Nurnberg (186o), of which the first two met with
great
  success. Elected member of the Bavarian Second Chamber for the
district
  in which he lived, he removed to
Munich
  in 1862. In 1868 he published the novel Hermann
Stark
 , deutsches Leben, and in 1871 Das Lied vom neuen deutschen Reich (which contains several hundred patriotic sonnets). In 1872 he took up his residence at
Meran
 , but passed the last years of his life at a sanatorium for nervous disorders near Bayreuth, where he died on the 6th of July 1891.
