Friedrich Haug (poet)
Johann Christoph Friedrich Haug (born March 9, 1761 in Niederstotzingen ( Württemberg ), † January 30, 1829 in Stuttgart ) was a German civil servant, poet and epigramist .
Life
Friedrich Haug was the son of Balthasar Haug , a teacher of Friedrich Schiller at the Karlsschule . Friedrich Haug also attended this school from 1775 to study law and became secretary in the ducal secret cabinet in 1784, secret secretary in 1794 and court counselor and librarian in Stuttgart in 1817, where he died on January 30, 1829.
Haug has gained a reputation for his very numerous epigrams, which he initially published under the name Hophthalmos ( Sinngedichte , Frankfurt 1791; Epigrammen und mixed poems , Berlin 1805). His two hundred hyperbolas on Mr. Wahl's enormous nose (Stuttgart 1804; new edition, Brünn 1822) testify to the mobility of his hyperbolic, rarely hurtful joke .
From 1811 to 1817 he was the editor in charge of the Cottaschen Morgenblatt . With Friedrich Christoph Weisser he edited an epigrammatic anthology (Stuttgart 1807-1809, 10 vols.). He also tried his hand at fables, ballads, charades and tales. A selection of his poems was published in Hamburg in 1827, 2 volumes, and Stuttgart in 1840.
