Benno Rauchegger
Benno Rauchegger (born August 20, 1843 in Memmingen , † August 1, 1910 in Munich ) was a German writer.
Life
Benno Rauchegger was a son of the salt official Benno Rauchegger and his wife Sophia, nee. de Spét. His younger brother Alois Edgar later became an animal painter. His father published a drama and several papers, his mother published the book My Mission with Pius IX. and Napoleon III.
The Rauchegger family moved from Memmingen to Munich in 1845, where Benno Rauchegger attended the Ludwigsgymnasium before he enlisted in the military at the age of 15. He then worked in business, but then turned to journalism and other writing activities. His attempt to found a newspaper in Traunstein failed. Traunstein was the home of his wife Maria, geb. Röhl, whom he married in 1863. The marriage resulted in three daughters and one son.
Rauchegger's article appeared in the Allgäuer Anzeigeeblatt , in the Augsburger Abendzeitung , the Münchener Neuesten Nachrichten , the gazebo , in Over Land and Sea and the Fliegende Blätter . His report The flood breakthrough in Immenstadt was published in 1873 with illustrations by Franz Xaver Glötzle .
After Minister Sigmund von Pfeufer became aware of Rauchegger's writings, he received a chancellery and registry post in the Ministry of the Interior in 1877. In the next 20 years, Rauchegger could only write in his spare time. In 1897 he retired early due to illness and had meanwhile become secret secretary.
Rauchegger created popular literary figures such as Mrs. Maria Wurzl from Viktualienmarkt and the privateer Nudelmaier and his family. To noodle Maier Jr. in Africa created Eugen von Baumgarten illustrations. Otto Julius Bierbaum called Nudelmaier a "lovable Philistine". In the opinion of Aloys Dreyer, the humoresques from Rauchegger, which could be read in the Fliegende Blätter, are literary higher than the Nudelmaier stories .
Rauchegger published a guide through Munich together with Ludwig Aub in 1888 and wrote plays for the Schlierseer Bauerntheater . The America seppl was also performed in New York . Rauchegger earned little from the royalties, however, because he had sold the rights cheaply to Rubin-Verlag . Hunter's Blood was filmed twice, as was The Outcast .
From time to time, Rauchegger used the pseudonym "Hans Felsinger".
Rauchegger was a Freemason . He died less than a year after his wife. At that time, Rudolf Wimmer was in the process of painting his portrait. The unfinished picture is in the Munich City Museum . Rauchegger was portrayed in the figure of the actuary Götzensperger by Josef Ruederer in the play The Consecration of the Flag from 1895. In an obituary by Aloys Dreyer on Rauchegger, however, he refused to reduce Benno Rauchegger to a "Schnaderhüpflhanswurst". In Munich, Raucheggerstrasse is named after the writer.
