from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joachim Huppelsberg (born February 2, 1907 in Brussels , † March 15, 1988 in Lemgo ) was a German translator, essayist and poet .

Life

Huppelsberg was the son of a manufacturer. After finishing secondary school, he attended the higher technical college for the textile industry and the craft art school in Barmen . He then worked at the Wuppertal-Barmen District Court and began writing, especially translations from French. After his military service from 1939 to 1945 and his release from English captivity in 1946, he settled in Alverdissen and began working as a freelance translator. In 1951 he became head of the adult education center in Lemgo, and in 1972 he retired. Huppelsberg was married to the painter Anne Huppelsberg. In 1988 he died in Lemgo at the age of 81.

Through his essays and especially through his translations, Huppelsberg was important for the reception of French literature in post-war Germany. He translated Francis Jammes , Maurice de Guérin , Alphonse de Lamartine and Honoré de Balzac into German, and the adaptation of the elegies by Francis Jammes first made this author known in Germany. In 1949 an essay by Huppelsberg about Rainer Maria Rilke was published , which the publisher declared as a biography against his wishes. In addition, Huppelsberg's poems in the symbolist tradition have appeared in various magazines.
