Portrait of Anton Wilhelm von Zuccalmaglio, called Wilhelm von Waldbrühl

Anton Wilhelm Florentin von Zuccalmaglio (born April 12, 1803 in Waldbröl , † March 23, 1869 in Nachrodt near Altena ) was a German writer and folk song researcher . He called himself Wilhelm von Waldbrühl .

Life

The childhood and youth

He was one of six children of Jakob Salentin von Zuccalmaglio and Clara Deycks; he is also the brother of Vincent Jakob von Zuccalmaglio . Already in his first year of life, the family moved because of the displacement of the father from the office Windeck in the office Miselohe to Opladen . But in the following year 1804 they moved again to Schlebusch , where they found permanent accommodation in the so-called “Doktershof”. Wilhelm spent his childhood and youth here and attended a high school in Cologne .

Wilhelm von Waldbrühl

In 1825 he began studying law in Heidelberg with his brother Vinzenz, who had given himself the name “Montanus” (“the Berger”) as a sign of his origins in the Bergisches Land . Here he met one of the greatest lawyers of his time, Prof. Anton Friedrich Justus Thibaut , who must have decisively influenced his further life. In his free time, Thibaut maintained a singing club in which he had church music and international folk songs played and played. Zuccalmaglio also took part and was soon called the “Great Wodan” because of his mythological infatuations. But to make his origins clear, that he, like his brother Vinzenz, also came from the Bergisches Land, he named himself "Wilhelm von Waldbrühl" after his place of birth Waldbröl. During his studies he became a member of the old Heidelberg fraternity in 1826 .

Everywhere and nowhere

Gravestone Altena Castle

In the midst of preparations for an academic career, Zuccalmaglio was commissioned in 1832 to go to Warsaw as tutor of the only son of the future governor of Poland, Prince Gorchakov . He traveled extensively in Russia and returned to Schlebusch in 1839, having been awarded a doctorate and professorship by the Tsar. As a valued private teacher, he remained loyal to his educational activities in the Bergisches Land until 1847. Afterwards he was drawn as a private teacher until his death through southern Germany, the Rhineland and Westphalia. Around 1855 he lived in the Aders house in Elberfeld and worked as an educator for the then 13-year-old son of Alfred Aders , Ewald Aders (1842–1920).

From 1860 to 1866 Zuccalmaglio was the private tutor of the von Löbbecke family at Haus Nachrodt . He later died there at the age of 66 during an extended visit. His tombstone is in the upper courtyard of Altena Castle .

Not a beautiful country at this time

Zuccalmaglio and his brother Vincent started collecting folk songs at a young age, which he had heard in his homeland, the Bergisches Land. During his time as a private teacher in Warsaw, he met Andreas Kretzschmer , who also collected folk songs. While Kretzschmer was still alive, both published the first volume of German folk songs in 1838 with their original tunes with 317 songs.

Two years later - Kretzschmer had died in the meantime - Zuccalmaglio brought out a second volume with 382 folk songs, which he himself had collected, “as a continuation of A. Kretzschmer's work”. On pages 494–495 he published under no. 274 the tune entitled “Evening Song” No beautiful land at this time .

Criticism and praise

There was severe criticism from Ludwig Erk . In this work, numerous songs could be seen as "blackened melodies never sung by the people". It is often a question of text and melody falsification. Franz Magnus Böhme agreed that it was a piece of work and not a national good. Only Walter Wiora sat down in his book The Rhenish-Bergisch tunes at Zuccalmaglio and Brahms lasting for a rehabilitation Zuccalmaglios one. He quotes Johannes Brahms there , who had rejected the criticism of Zuccalmaglio and praised the romantic content of his works: "The selection is made with a fine poetic eye and gives much that was previously unknown ... Fresh poetic life blows here."
