Johann Jakob Jägle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Jakob Jägle (born on March 16, 1763 in Strasbourg ; died on October 21, 1837 there ) was a German poet, storyteller, translator and author of spiritual writings.

Life

Jägle was the son of the postilion Jakob Jägle and Anna Katharina, geb. Heiligenstein. He enrolled on 29 September 1780 the University of Strasbourg , was there on September 12, 1782 candidate of philosophy, 1785/1786 to master his doctorate and put on 1 July 1786 the theological examination in. He was not opposed to the French Revolution , but stayed from 1789 to 1803 as a tutor to wealthy families outside France. During this time he lived in various places in Switzerland, Bavaria, Tyrol and Italy, in particular he accompanied the family of the Englishman Richard Wynne on their journey through Italy, which visited Venice , Padua , Florence , Elba and above all Naples . The daughter Elizabeth Wynne Fremantle (1778–1857) wrote an extensive diary about this trip. From Naples, Jägle sent some poems to Friedrich Schiller , who included The Sea in his Musenalmanach for 1798 . Jägle begins relatively conventionally:

The sea is delightful and beautiful,
When its silver waves,
around the ship in the same
rhythm, swell with murmurs.

However, he then closes the poem - apparently due to corresponding experiences with Mediterranean sea storms - with a clear, somewhat reminiscent of Heine , not uncomfortable rejection:

You what lust, profession and class,
on ship and seas force,
you may
sing the pumper in the hand of the sea ​​charm!

In spite of your praise I find
no comfort in the sea;
And not for gold should it again
carry me on his back.

After his return to Alsace, Jägle held pastorships in Uhrweiler (1805-1809), Scharrachbergheim (1809-1814), Goxweiler and Burgheim (1814-1818) and Barr (1818-1826). From 1826 until his death he was pastor at the Wilhelmskirche in Strasbourg.

He was married to Margareta Salome Strohl (1783-1828). His daughter Louise Wilhelmine, called Minna, was engaged to the poet Georg Büchner , who lived from October 1831 to July 1833 in the family's apartment at 66 rue St. Guillaume. Jägle died in Strasbourg in 1837 at the age of 74.

As part of his pastoral work, Jägle wrote numerous funeral speeches and poems on weddings and deaths, including in 1828 on his deceased wife and five-year-old son (printed in 1830 in Der Cypressen-Hain ). In political casual poems such as Marie-Louise, Empress of the French, to her father when he moved against Napoleon (1813), Napoleon's procession from Elba to Paris (1815), and God's judgment or the fall from the throne (1830) as politically progressive, for Napoleon and later a thoroughly expressive poet who sided with Louis-Philippe . Of his earlier poems, those written in Italy are particularly noteworthy. Jägle also wrote some narrative texts and translated English poetry.

The plan to publish an Alsatian newspaper in 1817 did not materialize. In return, Jägle made a few contributions to Ehrenfried Stöber's short-lived magazine Alsa . At a time when Frenchization was taking off in Alsace, Jägle belonged to the relatively small group of those who clung to German as a literary language.
