from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Friedrich Raßmann (born May 3, 1772 in Wernigerode , † April 9, 1831 in Münster ) was a German writer, editor and publisher of newspapers, anthologist , encyclopaedist and bibliographer .

Life

Friedrich Raßmann was the son of the Countess-Stolbergian librarian Heinrich Ernst Raßmann . After attending the Lyceum in Wernigerode and the Martinischule in Halberstadt, he studied theology at the University of Halle from 1791 to 1794 and then worked as a teacher in Halberstadt until 1797 , where Count Christian Friedrich zu Stolberg-Wernigerode was the cathedral dean. His contacts with the poet Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim date from this time .

Raßmann worked in Halberstadt in 1803 and 1804 as the editor of the weekly New Advertisements from the Useful, Pleasant and Beautiful and the General Advertisements of Oddities , before moving to the Westphalian Münster at the suggestion of Johann Gottlieb Karlwalk , where he became editor of Friedrich Theodor Schmölder's published Mercury . But Mercury was stopped again in 1806 . From then on he worked as a freelance writer. Two newspaper projects ( Eos, magazine for educated people , Münster 1810, and Thusnelda. Unterhaltungsblatt für Deutsche , Coesfeld 1816, continued as Thusnelda. A magazine for Germans , Wesel 1817) were unsuccessful.

In 1820 he was given a permanent position as censor of the Münster lending libraries, which he held until his death. In 1825 he converted to the Catholic faith. He was in lively correspondence with several writer friends, u. a. with Count Otto von Loeben , Anton Matthias Sprickmann , Friedrich de La Motte-Fouqué and Louise Brachmann .
