life and work

Josef Anton Henne's ancestors came from Oberstaufen in the Allgäu . His grandfather Joseph Henne (1746-1817) came to Sargans and married Anna Maria Grass (1743-1818) from Ausburg. In 1786 he became a citizen of Sargans. From this marriage came Henne's father Joseph Anton Henne (1769-1840), who married Franziska Good (1760-1841) von Mels and became a tailor. At the age of twelve he became a student at the Pfäfers monastery , which he left at 17 to study in Heidelberg and Freiburg im Breisgau . During his studies he joined the Freiburg im Breisgau section of Zofingia . After teaching positions in Hofwil and St. Gallen , he became a professor at the University of Bern and began to be politically active. He often represented controversial or his own views in his work. After losing his position in Bern, he became a monastery librarian at the monastery library in St. Gallen.

Henne published the Klingenberger Chronik and worked on legends and folk customs. He became known as the author of the folk song Lueget, vo Berg und Tal .
