Biography

[edit]

He was born in Barmen (now Wuppertal), Kingdom of Prussia. His poetry, marked by simple feeling, fine diction, and original matter, won great popularity.[1] He died in Barmen. His daughter, Adeline, was a philologist, scholar, and champion for the equality of women.

He was a member of the Wuppertal poets' circle in the 1850s.[2] He knew Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and wrote several letters to them in 1867–1868.[3]
