Carl Siebel

Abraham Peter Carl Siebel (born January 13, 1836 in Barmen ; died May 9, 1868 in Elberfeld ) was a German merchant , poet and friend of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels . His pseudonyms were Emil Thilva and Julius Morton .

Life

Carl Siebel was the son of the strand manufacturer Karl August Siebel (1805–1888) and Emilia (Emilie) Kampermann (1812–1878). After lessons by a private teacher, he attended the Barmer city school and then a high school in Rheydt . In 1850 his father decided that he should be an apprentice in his father's company "Abraham Siebel & Son". He was not very fond of the profession and therefore turned to poetry. His friends were Emil Rittershaus and Hugo Oelbermann . Together they founded the "Wupperbund". Later he was a member of Friedrich Roeber's “Sunday wreath” .

From 1852 Siebel was in contact with the Morgenblatt for educated readers and its editor Hermann Hauff . From 1853 to 1866 Siebel corresponded with Wolfgang Müller von Königswinter . Between 1854 and 1858 he wrote eleven letters to Nikolaus Hocker .

Between 1856 and 1859 he traveled for a long time in Berlin and Manchester , where he met Friedrich Engels and Wilhelm Wolff . In May Siebel was supposed to report to Wesel as a guard war reservist. He participated in the Schiller celebration in Manchester on November 11, 1859 with the poem "Epilog". In 1860 he returned to his homeland to get married on November 14, 1860. His wife became Eleonora Augusta Christina Reinhilda ( Reinhilde ) Freiin von Hurter (1842–1880). The marriage had three children: Emilie Maria Siebel (born 1862), Anna Reinhilde Siebel (born August 25, 1863) and Carl Reinhold Siebel (born August 17, 1867).

In a letter to Karl von Grüneisen of November 17, 1860, the poet Eduard Mörike expressed himself negatively about the quality of his "poems" (2nd edition 1859). In April 1861, Karl Marx visited him in Elberfeld. Siebel founded a section of the International Workers' Association in Barmen in 1864 .

Because of a breast ailment, he traveled to Funchal on the island of Madeira to heal in 1866 and 1867 . Carl Siebel supported Karl Marx with reviews in promoting Marx's Das Kapital . Shortly after his return from Madeira, he died of consumption in Elberfeld . He was buried in the Bartholomäusstrasse cemetery in Barmen.

Johann Victor Bredt called him a “poet by the grace of God”, while Friedrich Engels summarized it in a letter to Jenny Marx of December 22, 1859: “I praise Siebel, who is a bad poet, but he also knows that he is humbug through and through and only demands that he should be allowed the advertising trade as a procédé that is necessary nowadays, since without it he would be nothing ”.

Four letters from Siebel to Wilhelm Jordan have survived from 1865 . Two letters to Gottfried Kinkel are in the Kinkel estate, two letters to Karl Gutzkow are kept in Frankfurt and one letter to Paul Heyse is in the Munich State Library.
