Adolf von Schaden
Adolf von Schaden (born May 18, 1791 in Marktoberdorf , † May 30, 1840 in Munich ; also Johann Nepomuk Adolf von Schaden and Adolph von Schaden ) was a German writer , painter , journalist and officer .
Life
officer
Adolf von Schaden was born in Marktoberdorf as the son of the prince-elector-trier and prince-bishop-Augsburg court councilor and caretaker of Schaden. He lost his parents at an early age, attended high school in Dillingen an der Donau and volunteered for the Bavarian artillery in 1806 . A serious accident injury caused by horse-kicking in 1806, from which he only recovered to some extent two years later, interrupted his military career. During this time he was doing civil service in the former royal ministerial section of the foundations and communes in Munich. Back in the military, he made it to the position of inspection officer and adjutant in the royal cadet corps and finally to the adjutant in Lindau and Kempten. In 1815 he was adjutant of the main reserve park of the Bavarian army in France and retired from military service at the end of the war with the rank of first lieutenant .
writer
Adolf von Schaden attended lectures at universities in Leipzig and Berlin as a guest auditor and then tried his hand at writing on stage. His dramas Theodor Körner's Tod (1817), Schill or the Storming of Stralsund (1818), Aurelius Commodus and the Queen of Saba (1823), The Requiem or Mozart's Death (1823), The Two Dorotheen (1824) were never performed. Experts assume that the two parodies of Grillparzer 's plays The Ahnfrau (1819) and The Modern Sappho (1819) were not intended to do so.
Between 1821 and 1822, his stay changed between Dresden, Prague and Vienna. In the end he stayed in Munich permanently and worked temporarily in civil administration, but then mainly worked as a writer there.
He tried to emulate his role model Julius von Voss (1768–1832) with novels . Voss, who also came from a noble family, had started a military career like Schaden, but left disappointed and established himself as a successful writer. They wrote some joint works before von Schaden had to give up the genre due to a lack of talent.
Finally he occupied himself with all his might and success in the writing of travel guides, topographical, statistical and historical works. The fruitful collaboration with the Bavarian lithographer Gustav Kraus , the “photo reporter of the Biedermeier period” (Eugen Roth), should be noted, who from 1825 contributed pictures with topographical accuracy and artistic quality to Adolph von Schaden's travel guides.
