from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albert Schulz , pseudonym San-Marte (born May 18, 1802 in Schwedt / Oder ; † June 3, 1893 in Magdeburg ), was a German administrative lawyer , poet , Germanist and literary historian .

Life

Schulz came from a family of officials and clergy. His father was a councilor at the Chamber of Justice in Schwedt. After first schooling in his hometown, he attended the Royal Pedagogy of Züllichau from 1816 to 1821 . His first poems fall during this time. On September 19, 1821, he enrolled as a law student at the University of Berlin . In October 1822 he switched to the law faculty of the University of Heidelberg , where he remained until November 1824. At the end of his studies, he was still jeopardizing his career as a civil servant. His exmatriculation contains the note that he was imprisoned for ten days in the Heidelberg detention center “because of a duel” and that further investigations would have to be made because he “had dealings with the so-called fraternity party”. However, these investigations fizzled out because he became an auscultator in Prussia as early as Christmas 1824 .

Schulz started his service at the city court in Brandenburg an der Havel on January 9, 1825 . During this time or shortly thereafter, he adopted his pseudonym San-Marte, the exact meaning of which is still unclear today. At the end of 1826 he came to the Naumburg Higher Regional Court as a trainee lawyer . As early as 1830 he was working on the translation of the Parzival by Wolfram von Eschenbach . His translation is published three times and rated positively by Wilhelm Grimm . Wolfram's work continued to be the focus of his work. In the summer of 1833 Schulz became a councilor and legal advisor in the Interior Department of the Magdeburg government. After the publication of his work Ueber den Werth von Provinzialgesetze, with special reference to Prussia , he was transferred to Bromberg in the autumn of 1837 "in the interest of the service" as domain department council and legal advisor . There he continued to work as a writer against the wishes of his employer.

Schulz returned to Magdeburg in 1843. There he became the Royal Prussian Government Councilor at the Provincial School College on October 1. He finally held this office until his retirement on January 1, 1881. In 1846 he acquired citizenship in the city of Magdeburg. In the election of March 18, 1850 , he was elected as a liberal member of the Erfurt Union Parliament. On January 9, 1875, he celebrated 50 years of service.

Schulz was a member of various learned societies. He was a member of the Thuringian-Saxon Association for Research into Patriotic Antiquity and the Preservation of Its Monuments , the Association for Thuringian History and Archeology in Jena , the Royal German Society in Königsberg , the Berlin Society for German Language , the Scholars' Committee of the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg and the Berlin Society for the Study of Modern Languages .
