Casimir Ulrich Boehlendorff
Casimir Ulrich Karl Boehlendorff (* spring 1775 in Mitau , Courland ; † April 10, 1825 in Margraves ( Mērsrags ), Courland) was a writer , poet and historian .
Life
In October 1794 Casimir Ulrich Boehlendorff enrolled at the University of Jena , where he was a Fichtes listener and became a member of the Society of Free Men . He became friends with Herbart .
From 1797 to 1799 he worked as a private tutor for Bern families and then wrote a story of the Helvetic Revolution . In 1803 he published a Poetisches Taschenbuch together with Gerhard Anton Hermann Gramberg . He was also good friends with Friedrich Hölderlin and other poets and scholars. But despite many attempts and help, e.g. For example, through Johann Smidt in Bremen , Boehlendorff did not succeed in gaining a foothold in society, to which the negative judgment of Schiller and Goethe against him may have contributed.
From 1804 until his suicide Boehlendorff led an unsteady life that is reminiscent of Lenz .
Boehlendorff wrote several plays and poems. More recently, Johannes Bobrowski has set him a literary monument with the story “Boehlendorff and others”.
