from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Wilhelm Wagner (born August 16, 1892 in Hennweiler , Hunsrück , † June 22, 1931 in Schönberg , Black Forest ) was a German writer .

Life

Friedrich Wilhelm Wagner was the son of a teacher . After attending a school in Bad Kreuznach , he began studying at the University of Munich in 1911 , which he only did sporadically. In 1913 he lived in Paris for a while, and in 1914 again in Munich . After a stopover in Switzerland , he worked from 1914 to 1918 as a war soldier in the municipal administration of Bretzenheim . Wagner was addicted to morphine at that time and was temporarily admitted to an asylum . He tried in vain to publish his poems in Kurt Wolff Verlag and finally self-published them in 1918. After a stay in a sanatorium in Eglfing , he moved to Hanover in 1919 , where he and Christof Spengemann edited the literary magazine Der Zweemann . He left Hanover as early as 1920 and subsequently gave up writing. He spent the rest of his life as a bank clerk in Bad Kreuznach.

Friedrich Wilhelm Wagner is one of the largely forgotten authors of German Expressionism . His predominantly lyrical work was not rediscovered until the 1980s .
