Conrad von Höveln , also Höfel, Hövel (born January 22, 1630 in Altona , † November 15, 1689 in Brandholm, Vejle County , Denmark ) was a German baroque poet and writer.

Life

Höveln was born in Altona, Denmark, as the son of a cavalry master from Braunschweig. With the help of an uncle, he found a civil servant position in Glückstadt , which he held until 1651. From 1652 we find him in court master services in Hamburg and on Zealand, which enabled him to travel to Norway and the Netherlands. Then he got engaged to a Dane and lived with her in Bremen . Further court master services took him to Stockholm and Riga. From 1661 he was back in Germany when Zesen accepted him into the German-minded cooperative with the nickname Der Höfliche . 1662 he is as Candorin in the Elbschwanenorden added.
