Friedrich Wilhelm Rogge
Friedrich Wilhelm Rogge (born November 12, 1808 in Rankendorf ; † March 24, 1889 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a German poet.
Life
Born out of wedlock, Rogge fled from his stepfather at the age of seven and fought his way through as a herding boy until he was eleven years old and was able to start an apprenticeship and thus also attend school. After successfully attending the Johanneum in Lüneburg (school leaving certificate 1829), he first studied theology in Göttingen, but then turned to history and modern languages before he left the university in 1833 without a degree; His first poetic publications also fall during this period. In 1836 Rogge stayed in Paris and London and got to know Heinrich Heine and Ludwig Börne . In addition to his work as a poet, Rogge worked as a house, private and school teacher as well as a librarian and editor; towards the end of his life he temporarily ran a boarding school.
