life and work

Ernst Willkomm was born as the son of pastor Karl Gottlob Willkomm and attended the grammar school in Zittau from 1822. His younger brother was Heinrich Moritz Willkomm , who later became known as a botanist. From 1830 Ernst Willkomm first studied law at the University of Leipzig , then later philology and aesthetics. Here he also came into contact with representatives of Junge Deutschland such as Karl Gutzkow . In 1833 he published his first novel, Julius Kühn , and the tragedy Bernhard, Duke of Weimar .

Willkomm has published time-critical novels, travel sketches and stories. With the title of his novel Die Europamüden in 1838 he took up a keyword that had been coined by Heine in 1828 and with which an important aspect of thinking in the Vormärz was recorded.

In the years 1845/46 Willkomm undertook a trip to Italy, whose experiences he processed in 1847 in the travel sketches Italian Nights and in the novel The Last Supper Brothers in Rome . In 1849 he was a war correspondent in the Schleswig-Holstein War and became editor of the Lübecker Zeitung . In the following year he married the youth writer Anna Marie Christine Rosendahl (1826–1879), daughter of the businessman Christian Rosendahl, in Flensburg . In 1852 Willkomm had to give up his position as editor of the Lübecker Zeitung and moved to Hamburg , where he worked until 1857 as editor of the fiction-critical magazine Jahreszeiten and as features editor of the Hamburg impartial correspondent .

In 1859 Willkomm and his wife opened a boarding school for girls in Hamburg, which he gave up in 1880 after his wife's death. Willkomm retired to Zittau, where he died on May 24, 1886. His youthful memories appeared posthumously in 1887 . The marriage had four children.
