Friedrich Krasser

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Krasser (born April 28, 1818 in Mühlbach , † February 9, 1893 in Sibiu ) was a Transylvanian utopian writer and doctor . His works were banned several times in Germany and Romania .

Krasser, whose father was a baker, studied medicine in Vienna and later lived as a doctor in Sibiu. His doctoral dissertation in Vienna dealt with coxitis and was an anatomic-pathological description of this disease based on Carl von Rokitansky . The work emphasized the incidence of coxitis in scrofulae . Krasser dedicated the dissertation to his former teacher Friedrich Phlebs, the rector of the Samuel von Brukenthal grammar school in Sibiu .

Krasser published poems critical of the class and the clergy, which were also printed abroad. The anthology Offnes Visier (1869) was widely used.

In Romania, Krasser's work had, among other things, an influence on the lyrical work of Julius Römers .
