Ernst Droem
Ernst Droem (* real as Adolf Weigel on May 30, 1880 in Braunschweig ; † January 1947 in Munich ) was a German writer and poet .
Life
Adolf Weigel was born in Braunschweig in 1880. His childhood friend, the well-known German historical philosopher and cultural historian Oswald Spengler (1880–1936), brought him into contact with the Munich publishing house CH Beck . He was very impressed by Weigel's lyrical works and so in 1920 the first volume of poems Gesänge was published under the pseudonym Ernst Droem by the CH Beck publishing house. The poems from the next volume, Ex Tenebris by Droem, which Beck published a year later, were written around the turn of the century and were revised for the first time around 1910. In 1922 the publisher published another volume of poems under the title Guter Mond . Then it would take over ten more years until a final volume of Droem's poetry came out. Shortly before the Nazis came to power, the fourth volume of poems was published, entitled Ewiges Eleusis , after which the mystic and writer Ernst Droem, like so many other writers of his time, was banned from publication after 1933.
Droem died in Munich in January 1947 at the age of 66.
