Life

Friedrich Georg Leonhard Miedke was the son of the singer and actor couple Carl Miedke and Charlotte Miedke and was born between January 1st and 31st, 1803 in Nuremberg.

He was artistically active in Stuttgart , St. Gallen , Augsburg , Ulm , Regensburg , Würzburg and other places. In his time he was considered one of the best dramatic baritones and shone a. a. in the operas Don Juan, Figaro and Vampyr. He received his training in Stuttgart and then sang in the choir until he was given smaller stage roles that also distinguished him as an actor. In 1822 he got an engagement in Augsburg. In 1825 he took over the management of the theater of the city of St. Gallen, which, however, affected his private fortune so much that he secretly left Switzerland. The result of the subsequent process was that he had to spend 12 weeks at the Hohenasperg fortress in Württemberg. After his release, he immediately turned to the city of Würzburg in 1829, where he was immediately given the management of the opera, which he held until the end of 1836, with a fixed salary. On March 6, 1834, Miedke's opera Faust by Louis Spohr was performed “for the benefit” in Würzburg .

From 1837 he withdrew from the stage and initially settled in Bad Kissingen in order to devote himself entirely to painting; he also ran a gallery and was active as a writer. He died in Regensburg.
