Alfred von Wolzüge

Alfred von Wolzüge , completely Karl August Alfred Freiherr von Wolhaben and Neuhaus (born May 27, 1823 in Frankfurt am Main , † January 13, 1883 in San Remo ) was a German theater director and writer.

Life

Alfred Freiherr von Wolhaben was the eldest son of Ludwig Julius Adolf Friedrich von Wolhaben , whose memoirs he published in 1851. He studied law in Berlin from 1841 and later in Heidelberg and entered civil service in 1844. First he was a government assessor in the Ministry of the Interior; from 1854 he worked in Breslau , where he became a councilor in 1863.

Gustav Gans zu Putlitz , who had been friends with Alfred von Wolhaben since his university days, gave up the position of manager of the Grand Ducal Court Theater in Schwerin in 1867 . Wolzug kept this position until 1882; a little later he died after a long illness. During his time as artistic director, the theater's ballet ensemble was abolished.

In 1875 Wolzieh first brought the Hohenstaufen dramas by the late author Christian Dietrich Grabbe to the stage.

In addition to his father's memoirs, Alfred von Wolhaben published Fr. Schiller's relationships with parents, siblings and the von Woliehen family (Stuttgart 1859), four volumes from Schinkel's estate (Berlin 1862–1864), Prussia's state administration with regard to its constitution (Berlin 1854), trip to Spain (Leipzig 1857), history of the Reichsfreherrlich v. Wolzogenschen sex (Leipzig 1859), About theater and music (Breslau 1860), About the staged representation of Mozart's ›Don Giovanni‹ (Breslaug 1860), Wilhelmine Schröder-Devrient (Leipzig 1863), Schinkel as an architect, painter and art philosopher (Berlin 1864 ), Rafael Santi (Leipzig 1865), Peter v. Cornelius (Berlin 1867) and other works, including the comedy Nur kein Ridicul (Berlin 1864).

Alfred von Wolhaben was one of those interested in literature who urged the autograph collector Carl Künzel to have the manuscript in his possession for Schiller's comical piece I have been shaved in print.

family

On October 10, 1847, Alfred von Woliehen married in Berlin (Eleonore Sophie Susanne) Elisabeth Schinkel (born August 17, 1822 in Berlin), the youngest daughter of Karl Friedrich Schinkel . She died on June 26, 1851 in Niederschönhausen when their son Hans Paul von Wolzüge (1848–1938) was two years old. His second marriage was on March 12, 1853 in Florence, Harriet Anne Houssemayne Du Boulay (born July 7, 1830 in Sandgate ), the eldest daughter of the English landowner Thomas Houssemayne Du Boulay. From this marriage came the son Ernst von Wolhaben (1855–1934).
