Daniel Stop

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel Stoppe (born November 17, 1697 in Hirschberg ( Silesia ), † July 12, 1747 in Hirschberg), was a German school teacher and Silesian occasional poet .

Life

Daniel Stoppe came from the simplest of circumstances, but a wealthy patron made it possible for him to go to school and from 1719 to 1722 to study philosophy in Leipzig . In 1728 he returned to Hirschberg, where he worked as a makeshift tutor and, after his marriage, also as a grocer , until he was hired in 1742 at the municipal grammar school as vice-principal (at that time junior teacher).

He composed cantata texts - some in the Silesian dialect , which were set to music in particular by Telemann , satirical verse epistles and fables that show the influences of the late baroque and the Leipzig gallant style . As a member of Gottsched 's 'German Society', however, he complied with his rule poetics . At Gottsched's request, he removed the coarse and dialect poems from his third collection of poems, which most likely had an individual character. Quite valued during his lifetime, Stoppe was completely forgotten soon after his death.
