Johann Bernhard Hermann
Johann Bernhard Hermann (born February 18, 1761 in Hof ; † February 3, 1790 in Göttingen ) was a German intellectual.
Life
He was a close childhood friend of Jean Paul , who set a monument to Hermann in many of his works. B. in the novel Siebenkäs . Hermann can be seen as the phenotype of a German intellectual from the lower class in the second half of the 18th century ; his correspondence with Jean Paul reflects, among other things, the social situation of students from underprivileged classes at that time. Hermann's efforts to become a medical doctor failed due to the material circumstances.
