His father August von der Wense (* 1854, † 1902 in Schwerin) was an officer and stationed as a captain in the East Prussian birthplace of his son. The mother Luise (1870–1951), b. Baron von Nettelbladt, came from the patrician and baron family of Nettelbladt residing in the Rostock area and was the daughter of Ferdinand von Nettelbladt .

Life

Hans Jürgen von der Wense grew up after the death of his father in a riding accident on August 2, 1902 and the subsequent admission of his mother in 1903 to the Gehlsheim psychiatric clinics in Rostock and then to the Strömer aunts in Rostock in Hamburg-Eppendorf . From 1904 to 1907 Wense attended school in Rostock and Bad Doberan . It was not until 1907 that he found a home in a school boarding house in Doberan . Here Wense attended the Friderico-Francisceum Gymnasium , where he graduated from high school in March 1914 . In 1914 he moved to Berlin . In the following months he first studied mechanical engineering and economics , later philosophy and law , but dropped out. He worked as a bookseller in the Berlin bookstore Calvary . During the First World War he was drafted into military service in the autumn of 1915. He discovered Hector Berlioz for himself , learned Latin and Danish and began to write poetry.

In 1917 he published five poems and a short prose text in Franz Pfemfert's Aktion . 1919 an aesthetic manifesto was published, titled The abolition of Music in Art Journal by Paul Westheim . In 1918 Wense was transferred to the General Staff Library in Berlin as a scientific assistant librarian.

He made attempts in atonal music at the same time as Arnold Schönberg and Josef Matthias Hauer . Wense caught the attention of a small circle of music enthusiasts with avant-garde music such as composition for voice, tin screen and orchestra . Wense described his experiences in the Munich Soviet Republic during the November Revolution and the Spartacus uprising in Berlin in 1919 in a diary . During this time, he met Georg Kaiser , Clara Zetkin , Erich Heckel , Leo Spies and Walter Spies . In 1920 Wense went back to Berlin, where he became friends with Artur Schnabel and Hermann Scherchen and worked on his music magazine Melos .

Eduard Erdmann performed five piano pieces by Wenses in Berlin in 1920.

In 1919 Wense met the sculptor Hedwig Jaenichen-Woermann , who supported him for twenty years with a monthly allowance of 222 marks and 22 pfennigs.

In 1920 Wense moved to Warnemünde, learned Italian, collected Ossetian folk songs, traveled with Walter Spies to the Taunus , visited Arthur Schnabel and Paul Klee and worked on the compositions Hávamál from the Edda . He started his weather books project . In Melos he published an essay on the conductor Arthur Nikisch .

"Second Life"

In 1921 Wense experienced the northern lights in Warnemünde and began his "second life". He began Old Irish, Old Icelandic, Egyptian studies, invented horoscopes and turned to musical neo-primitivism. He commuted between Warnemünde and Berlin.

In 1922 Wense worked on his aphorisms, which he called fragments. In 1922 he appeared with his own six songs at the New Tonkunst Festival in Donaueschingen . His contribution was received ambivalently. During this time, Wense commuted between Berlin, Wustrow and Warnemünde.

He learned from 1924 Chinese to Laozi translate, and many other languages such as Arabic , Danish , Sanskrit , Old Irish , Swahili , Syrian and Welsh .

In 1925 he had a love affair with Heinrich Dannehl and traveled to Austria and the Rhine . In 1926 Wense traveled to Switzerland , he began his work on Confucius and during this time commuted between Berlin, Warnemünde and Heinrich Dannehl's place of residence, Leipzig . With Dannehl he traveled to Bayreuth , Prague and Vienna. In 1926 he completed his translations on Lau Dan and Dschou Dsi .

In 1927 he worked on astrological subjects and began translating the songs from the island of Yap and the songs of the Ewe . In 1928 he translated the Malta songs. In 1929 he completed the songs of Yap, worked on the Uitoto and Kágaba myths and on the fragments. He collaged picture books and traveled to Paris, Prague, Trieste and Königsberg .

He worked on the Book of the South Seas and the fragments and began a world- phonetic script . On May 6, 1932, Wense left his train from Lübeck in a hurry in Bad Karlshafen , stayed there and initially stayed there, impressed by the Warburger Börde with the Desenberg .

Kassel - wandering around instead of emigrating

Shortly afterwards, Wense moved to Kassel . In 1933 he wandered in Eichsfeld , worked on the Hessen book and first met his pen pal Erwin Schliephake . Wense hiked on the Diemel , to Brilon , Marsberg , Paderborn and Gierskopp . From the beginning of the 1930s he went to the Hessian low mountain range as a hiker and seismograph on the "Fieberlinien".

From 1932 Wense devoted himself to landscape photography. In 1935 he suffered his first depression . In 1936 he moved to Eddy Esche in Braunschweig for five months , after which he stayed again in Karlshafen. The first hike into the Harz followed . In 1937 he hiked in the districts of Wittgenstein , Soest , Paderborn, the Diemeltal and Limburg and visited the former Reich Chamber of Commerce in Wetzlar . Wense lived briefly in Lübeck , then in Schwerin, and made a detour to Copenhagen . In 1939 he visited Dresden, began his work through the Swiss watchmaker Jost Bürgi and experienced somatic typing problems after the first air raid in Kassel. In 1940 Wense migrated to the Vogelsberg and the Westerwald . In 1941 he traveled to the Rhine and visited Bacharach , Boppard and Koblenz .

In the absence of a permanent address , which he changed 28 times, he escaped the Nazi registration network. He avoided emigration by wandering around.

Years in Göttingen

Wense finally moved to Göttingen in 1940 . During the Second World War , Wense was not called up for military service, but since 1943 he had to do war replacement service as a department head in a radiosonde factory of the Siemens group of the physical workshops in Göttingen. He traveled to Trier and Luxembourg . In 1944 he met his pen pal and later editor Dieter Heim while he was working at the Physikalische Werkstätten.

In 1945 five songs by Wenses were premiered in Göttingen. In 1947 Wilhelm Niemeyer began his letter contact with Wense, who visited him in Hamburg in 1949. In 1950 Wense hiked in the Reinhardswald . In 1952 he wandered around Paderborn, Erwitte , Geseke , in Lippstadt , Soest, Höxter and Bad Pyrmont . In 1953 Wense wandered around Lügde , on the Vogelsberg, in Lippe , around Detmold , Bad Pyrmont, Lemgo , Pömbsen , Höxter, Bevern, Bad Driburg and Altenbeken .

In 1954, Wense zigzagged from the Sauerland to the Rhön , particularly ecstatically around Melsungen and in the Kaufunger Wald . His literary goal was now to publish his sent literary material as a letter novel . He finished his Heraclitus .

He wandered through the Edertal , Wittgenstein, Hallenberg and visited documenta 1 in Kassel in 1955 . In 1957 he hiked to Paderborn and Brakel and in 1958 to Bursfelde , through the Knüll , through the Habichtswald and on the Diemel. In 1961 Wense wandered through the Solling , to Korbach , in the Waldecker Upland and to Hildesheim .

plant

Wense devoted himself to the study of meteorology , geology , mineralogy , astronomy and astrology , began with the translations of non-European literature and occupied himself with many other topics.

Wense was a passionate hiker and covered more than 25,000 miles on foot. He described and photographed the Hessian and East Westphalian landscape and created extensive material collections for various book projects and portfolios. Wense was a mystagogue of the landscape that wandered through the region between North Hesse, East Westphalia and Sauerland as well as the southern part of Lower Saxony and wrote it down with meticulousness. Most of it, his aphorisms , glosses , bon mots and aperçus , he wrote in thousands of letters to a select few friends. Up to now around 3,500 letters have been found in the various estates; around 850 of them have since been published. He published only a little and only under extreme pressure from his publishers. Wense is said to have proven that Heinrich von Morungen spent seven years in India , but there is no evidence for this. He also claimed that dialectical materialism came from Buddhism and that the soccer game came from the Mayan sun cult .

Wense remained largely unknown, but is considered a maverick with great linguistic talent. He left 60,000 estate pages , 40 diaries, 258 measuring table sheets , 40 compositions, 3000 photos; 3000 out of 6000 letters. Four posthumous Wensebücher have been published by Matthes & Seitz since 1987. His estate is in the Kassel University Library . Wense was buried in Diemarden .

The Wense Forum is based in Kassel.

Quote

Jürgen von der Wense wrote about the systematic of his collecting:

I arrange it alphabetically, according to keywords and bring (from carrion to cylinder) the most exquisite, most eager pieces from all times and zones, only or almost only Ignota and Rara and in my translation or version with strictly factual comments and thus open up entire worldwide areas of the Spirit, a challenge for our time run in by arrogance on narrow waist, but not only wisdom and the like. Poetry, essentially also documents, political, juridical and intimate, a cross-section of the totality of humanity. I already have a strong chunk, all on pages 1000-2000 Dünndruck so Grille: sweeping report by Carducci over the sound of crickets in Toscana, in italiänischem text with my translation, at (Works, Vol 20, 461-92.) Earwax one Enchanting Negro fairy tale, when a volcanic eruption, a canzone of Camõens in Portuguese with literal translation , then next to about 2/5 of all my works - 3/5 are - a lot of Irish, especially 6th, 8th and 17th centuries, Korean , Mordovian - every time precise commentaries with stories and literary stories of these peoples, e.g. Sometimes not written at all, at Brücke inscriptions on bridges in Brusa (Anatolia), Turkish a. German in verse and the same in Iceland (but from 1954!); much Thoreau (the beloved American classic), and Merovingian rights, Mellin de Saint-Gelais a . Touristic , delightful poetry from 1500, completely forgotten, many documents by the Spanish Ommajads , living Farô poets, over 8000 African sayings, folk songs from Palestine or Siberia with inscribed melodies, " Confucius " in characters, verbatim and post-poetry, as well as Lau Dan etc., To put an end to the madness of the "translations", a lot of science: mathematics from the Indians to Hilbert , from Gogol only his aphorisms about high-rise buildings, all of them today with the "intellectuals" (who are as ridiculous tomorrow as we are today those of 1890 ) Famous greats fall out completely, on the other hand GREAT poets rise up like Lenin (from Wales; † 1572), Abu al-ibn-Anāf , Pope Pius XIII. whose hymns to the match and the camera I recorded as well as the Latin odes of the Swiss Essiva, who died in 1907, to the electric train - but the secret is: this work has an imperceptible contour and ethics, seduces the reader with every example its Zeitgeist wasteland into the eternally immeasurable as a yes over every yes. I say: don't read the Times, read the ages!

Hans Jürgen von der Wense wrote about himself:

"[...] I am not a writer, not a literary figure, not a poet, not a scholar, not a musicus, rather nothing but a person, d. H. philosopher, a rebel! "
