Franz von Sonnenberg
Baron Franz Anton Joseph Ignaz Maria von Sonnenberg (born September 5, 1779 in Münster , † November 22, 1805 in Jena ) was a German poet .
Already at the grammar school in Münster, after Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock's Messiad Der Messiah, he designed the plan for an epic: The End of the World (Vol. 1, Vienna 1801). He studied law, but not out of inclination, later lived withdrawn in Jena and worked here on a second epic: Donatoa , again a painting of the end of the world, which occupied him so much that he sacrificed sleep and food intake, companionship and every joy in life for it. Also in Donatoa (Halle 1806, 2 vols., With biography of Johann Gottfried Gruber ) Sonnenberg appears as an emulator of Klopstock.
Franz von Sonnenberg ended his life on November 22nd, 1805 by falling out of a window. Poems were also published from his estate (Rudolstadt 1808).
