Daniel Bartels was born on November 18, 1818 in Lübeck. He came to Hamburg when he was 6 years old. After the painting apprenticeship, which he began at the age of 15 and which lasted 6 years, he went on a journey as a journeyman and became a master craftsman in Hamburg in 1845. He married in 1845. In 1854 he joined a lawyer as an office manager and from 1856 onwards he also held the office of archivist at the Vereinsbank. In 1895 he retired.

He was a member of the constituent assembly from 1848–49.

Services

Bartels published stories and poems in various papers, the latter mostly in Low German but also Missingsch and "Jewish" (so marked in the table of contents). His poems were intended "for recitation in social circles". In Hamburg Barmbek-Süd, Alter Teichweg, a small memorial in the courtyard of the Daniel-Bartels-Hof commemorates Daniel Bartels and his work "Der Grillenscheucher". The memorial shows crickets making music, but Bartels certainly meant the other meaning of cricket in the sense of "a strange idea; a strange, unsettling thought".

Works

  • Der Grillenscheucher , original poems to be presented in good company. Hamburg 1867 (published in several parts)
