Hermann Theodor Schmid , since 1876 Ritter von Schmid (born March 30, 1815 in Waizenkirchen , † October 19, 1880 ) was a German writer.

Life

After attending grammar school in Straubing, Schmid studied law at the University of Munich from 1835 to 1840 . After the state examination he had positions in the judiciary and administration a. a. in Würzburg, Dachau and Tittmoning before he became a police actuary in 1843 and later a court assessor in Munich. Here, after his first works Camoens and Bretislav, several dramatic works were performed with varying degrees of success.

Because Schmid had joined Johannes Ronges' German Catholic movement and had divorced his wife, he was retired in 1850. In order to earn a living, he first worked for a lawyer and wrote theater reviews, later he got a job as a draftsman , which gave him more freedom for his literary work. In 1853 he published a two-volume complete edition of his dramatic works.

After Edmund Hoefer had published some of his stories in his house sheets , the publisher of the gazebo , Ernst Keil , noticed him and won him over as an author for the magazine. He had resounding success with the Huberbäuerin village and robber story (1860), which was followed in rapid succession by a series of historical and peasant novels and tales. A nineteen-volume edition of his Gesammelte Schriften appeared between 1867 and 1869.

Schmid was already promoted by Maximilian II , and Ludwig II awarded him the Order of Merit of St. Michael in 1869 . In the following year he made him head of the Volkstheater am Gärtnerplatz , and in 1876 he awarded him the Order of Merit of the Bavarian Crown and thus his personal knighthood. Since he was unsuitable as a theater manager, he was later released from this position at his own request and paid an honorary salary.
