Life

Zwicker was one of the sons of the mayor and consistorial councilor Ludwig Christian Wilhelm Zwicker . After attending school, he enrolled in 1814 to study law at the University of Göttingen. He interrupted his studies to take part in the war of liberation . During his studies in Göttingen he was a member of the Corps Hannovera Göttingen . Together with his brothers in the corps , August von Arnswaldt and Rudolf Christiani , he was probably a member of the student literary association, Poetic Shoemaker Guild, in 1817 . The editors and many of the contributors to the short-lived literary magazine Wünschelruthe , which only appeared in the first half of 1818, came from their ranks . In any case, the lyricist Zwicker was one of the more zealous contributors to this magazine; but he also provided a novella and translations from English. His poems published there were reprinted well into the 20th century.

In autumn 1818 Zwicker was promoted to Dr. PhD in both rights. Also in 1818 his monograph on the judgment of God was published , which received a very positive review in the Göttingische advertisements of learned things like in the Allgemeine Literatur-Zeitung 1820. After graduating, he joined the legal service of the Kingdom of Hanover . At the end of 1818 he was recorded as an auditor at the Cabinet Ministry of the Kingdom of Hanover in the aforementioned monograph . In 1823 Heinrich Heine reported on a visit to Zwicker and his family in Hanover. At this point, Zwicker had switched to the judicial service. 1826 was Zwicker titularischer bailiff in Office Space , which in 1815 by Prussia had fallen to the Kingdom of Hanover and the bailiff was led Frederick Carl August Baumgarten. In 1826 Zwicker, who was married and had two little daughters, disappeared in Leer without a trace. His whereabouts or death could never be determined.

family

Zwicker married Adolphine Caroline Clementine Marie Schubert (1803–1855) around 1823. The two daughters Julia Dorothea (* 1824) and Helena Wilhelmina (* 1825) emerged from the marriage. The younger daughter died of scarlet fever while traveling in Buer in 1827 after Zwicker disappeared . His wife married her second husband Friedrich Adolph Gottlieb Graf von Eyben in 1830 or 1831 , who also adopted Zwicker's eldest daughter Julia Dorothea. She had two other children with her second husband.
