Franz Karl Leopold von Seckendorf-Aberdar
Franz Karl Leopold Freiherr von Seckendorf-Aberdar , also Leo von Seckendorff (born December 2, 1775 in Ansbach , † May 6, 1809 near Ebelsberg an der Traun) was a German poet.
Life
He studied philology in Jena, came to Weimar in 1798 as a government assessor, where his poetic talent was further developed by dealing with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe , Friedrich Schiller and Christoph Martin Wieland , and in 1802 as a councilor to Stuttgart, but was here because of an alleged crime of majesty involved in an investigation and imprisoned as a state prisoner first at Solitude Castle and then imprisoned on Hohenasperg .
Released again in 1805, he went to Vienna. From 1808 he published the magazine Prometheus there with Joseph Ludwig Stoll . When the war broke out in 1809, he joined the Vienna Landwehr as a captain, followed Hiller's army department and died on May 6, 1809 near Ebelsberg near Linz , where he was seriously wounded and burned in a barn.
In 1901, Seckendorfstrasse in Vienna- Penzing (14th district) was named after him.
