Heinrich Anselm von Ziegler and Kliphausen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Anselm von Ziegler and Kliphausen , also: Heinrich Anshelm von Zigler and Klipphausen (born  January 6, 1663 in Radmeritz , † September 8, 1697 in Liebertwolkwitz ) was a German novelist and historiographer .

Life

The son of a landowner was born on the Radmeritz manor, the location of the Joachimstein Monastery, which was later built there by his brother Joachim Sigismund von Ziegler and Klipphausen (1660–1734) . He attended high school in Görlitz and studied law and literature in Frankfurt (Oder) from 1680 to 1684 . He then lived and worked on his estates in Nieder Linda and Probsthain , later in Podelwitz and Altkötitz and finally in Liebertwolkwitz , where he also died. From 1689 he was a councilor in Wurzen .

Ziegler's most important work was the novel Asiatic Banise or The bloody but courageous Pegu from 1689. The plot mixes elements of the state novel with adventurous exoticism. Both travel reports and historical sources were used by Ziegler. The work was very successful and was reissued well into the 18th century. Even with Karl Philipp Moritz , the Banise is a secret reading by the young Anton Reiser , which he "devoured, as it were, with insatiable desire". Ziegler's theme was varied and imitated again and again in a large number of novels, operas and other works. Johann Georg Hamann (the elder) wrote a sequel to the novel in 1721, Friedrich Melchior Grimm dramatized it as Banise, a tragedy . Goethe refers to this dramatization when he mentions Chaumigrem, the villain from the novel, in Wilhelm Meister .

A historical and critical edition of the novel was published in 2010.

Banise is an anagram of the first name of Ziegler's wife Sabine von Lindenau (1661–1709) from the Machern family .
