Eberhard Friedrich Huebner

Eberhard Friedrich Hübner (born December 17, 1763 in Neuenstadt an der Linde ; died April 22, 1799 in Stuttgart ) was a German poet and storyteller.

Life

Hübner was the son of pastor Johann Bernhard Hübner and Sabina Charlotta, née Eppler. At the age of 18 he was already teaching at the Karlsakademie in Stuttgart. Here he also studied law and received his doctorate in both rights in 1790 . In 1794 the Hohe Karlsschule, which had meanwhile become a university, was dissolved and Hübner became a government registrar in Stuttgart. Most recently he was government secretary and Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürstlicher Hofrat. He died in Stuttgart in 1799 at the age of only 35.

In 1786 and 1793, Hübner published poems in the Swabian Musenalmanach , followed by mixed poems in two parts in 1788 and 1791 . At the same time, with the participation of Friedrich Daniel Schubart, he wrote a life story of the Pandur Colonel Franz von der Trenck , who had distinguished himself in the Austrian War of Succession through particular cruelty, based on his autobiography. With Hübner, the war crimes condemned to death for war crimes, Trenck appears as a real guy and even as the sensitive hero of a romance of the heart. Two other writings are travesties of classic Ovid works, namely Ovid's Heldenbriefe (on the Heroides , 1789) and the Metamorphoses (on the Metamorphoses , 1790–1792), which in turn is a parody of the Aeneid travesty by Aloys Blumauer .

In 1791 a somewhat out of the ordinary writing appeared full of coarseness, B ** r der Schieferdecker, not Fallstaf, not Eulenspiegel, but all of him! , which referred to the slater Leopold Baur , who died in the spring of that year , a Stuttgart original and the center of a Zechrunde, to which Schubart also belonged.

After his death in 1799, Johann Martin Spassers, court jester and court poet Sr. Majesty of the Emperor of Russia, the Duke of Würtemberg and the King of England Pritschschlag , a collection of joking-satirical, cautious political poems appeared in the same year . The unfinished sketch of the 18th century , consisting of poems aimed at the genius of the past and the next century as well as a series of historical remarks, miniatures and biographical sketches, was completed by Hübner's friend Philipp Wilhelm Gottlieb Hausleutner in 1801 and published posthumously.
