Julius Stinde

Julius Ernst Wilhelm Stinde (born August 28, 1841 in Kirchnüchel near Eutin , † August 5, 1905 in Olsberg in the Sauerland ) was a German journalist and writer . As an author he used the following pseudonyms: Theophil Ballheim , Dr. Böhm , Wilhelmine Buchholz , Julius Ernst , David Hersch , Homo Monacensis , Julius Neuland , D. Quidam , J. Steinmann , Dr. Julius Stöhr , Alfred de Valmy and Richard E. Ward .

Life

Julius Ernst Wilhelm Stinde was born in Kirchnüchel in Holstein as the second child of pastor Conrad Georg Stinde (1805–1881) and Holdy Anna Constantine, née. Gardthausen (1811–1848) born. In 1844, Stinde's father was given the parish in Lensahn . Julius Stinde attended high school in Eutin , today's Johann Heinrich Voß School , and began an apprenticeship as a pharmacist with Heinrich Joachim Versmann in the Löwenapotheke in Lübeck in 1858 , which he gave up in 1860 for health reasons. He then studied chemistry and other natural sciences in Kiel and Gießen and obtained his doctorate in Jena in 1863. In 1889 he became a corps bow carrier of Teutonia Giessen .

From 1864 onwards, Julius Stinde worked as a chemist and works manager at Grabe & Co in Hamburg . Probably from 1865 onwards he contributed to newspapers: Hamburger Gewerbeblatt , Spener'sche Zeitung , Jahreszeiten , Hamburger Novellenzeitung , Münchner Fliegende Blätter and others Hamburg workers' education association .

His first independent publication appeared in 1865: Brief Catechism of the Microscopic Examination of Pork and Human Meat for Trichinae . (Hamburg, JF Richter). Since 1866 his main occupation was journalism. In 1866 a book edited by Stinde on the treatment of laundry was published under the title Water and Soap , for which he first used the pseudonym "Wilhelmine Buchholz". In the Low German dialect , he wrote jokes and serious plays, which the Hamburg Carl-Schultze-Theater brought to the stage with great and lasting success . Aunt Lotte and Hamburger Leiden (both Altona 1875) were very successful . Stinde attributed the success to the art of the Low German actors Lotte Mende , Heinrich Kinder, Carl Schultze and others.

In 1876 Stinde left Hamburg and moved to Berlin . Here he made helpful connections in the Association of Berlin Press and in the Association of Berlin Artists , made friends and met the publisher Carl Freund , who published twenty books by Stinde over the course of the following years. He was also a member of the Masonic lodge there for the resistance .

Stinde's realistic-satirical stories about the Berlin petty bourgeois Buchholz family enjoyed great popularity . This appeared at the suggestion of the chief editor Arthur Levysohn since 1878 first as a newspaper article in German Montagsblatt , later in Schorers Sheet , then in single volumes with numerous editions, starting with the travel novel Buchholzes in Italy (1883), The Family Buchholz (1884), Mrs. Buchholz in Orient (1888) and finally Hotel Buchholz (1897). Stinde's seven Buchholz books have also been translated into nine European languages. The great sales success of the Buchholz books resulted in several imitations in which the staff and family circumstances of the original Stinde books were used. Arthur Mennell 's Buchholtzens in Paris (with “tz”!) And Buchholtzens in Switzerland are from Arthur Mennell . The publishing house Unflad in Leipzig, which published the books, even imitated the appearance of the Buchholz books. There was also Frau Buchholzen from Breslau and Frau Buchholz in the Giant Mountains . The comedy author Leon Treptow even brought out a play called The Buchholz Family . The copyright was still underdeveloped to Stindes lifetime, and the author was powerless against this kind of misuse of its intellectual property.

He was friends with Johannes Trojan , Julius Stettenheim , Heinrich Seidel , Emil Jacobsen , Ernst von Wildenbruch , Marx Möller and others.

In the “Allgemeine Deutsche Reimverein” founded by Emil Jacobsen, Stinde was the “director Theophil Ballheim” operator of a fictional “Dicht-Lehranstalt for adults”, from which delightful texts emerged that were used in the association's publications, the Aeolian harp , the Aeolian harp calendar and the Aeolian harp almanac .

Stinde died of a heart attack in 1905 while on vacation in the villa of District Administrator Hans Carl Federath and his wife Ida Kropff-Federath in Olsberg in the Sauerland. He was buried in his hometown Lensahn , where he spent several weeks every year during his lifetime.

Artistic creation

Stinde's life as a writer comprised novels, short stories, plays, poems, satires, parodies, translations and a large number of scientific and cultural-historical journal articles, only a small part of which has been processed into books. The magazine articles of the last few years show that they were written as the basic material for books that could then no longer appear. His satirical articles on tendencies in the natural sciences of the time that were worthy of criticism, which first appeared in the Hamburg newspaper Reform , were first published as a book in 1878 under the title The Victims of Science . In the higher editions, the book is adorned with funny drawings by Franz Skarbina . The book is very relevant in the age of genetic engineering and cloning .

Satirical and parodic texts form a large part of Stinde's work. In the early days of Hamburg he wrote a Wagner parody under the pseudonym David Hersch, entitled Lohengrün or Elsche von Veerlann , the text of which has been lost. His last book was the parodic gossip novel Emma, ​​the mysterious housemaid . This novel has its origins in the servant balls of actors and theater people. The first Emma chapters were sold in the form of colportage booklets at these balls, and the proceeds went to Wilhelm Raabe . The book contains an abundance of allusions to Berlin personalities and circumstances.

Stinde's early novel production has not yet been well researched. Four extensive novels, which appeared in the Hamburger Novellenzeitung in the years 1872–1882 , are known: In iron fist (1872), Der Teufels-Capitain (1876), Die Linde von Harvestehude (1881–1882) and Die Kinder des Misery. A novel from the life of a large German trading town. True facts retold by J. Steinmann (1882). Other novels with the author's name "J. Steinmann" such as The Repulsed (1877), Das Pfeifenrösel von Hamm , A daughter of Hamburg , Princess Goldhaar , Der Thürmer von St. Catharinen , The Secrets of the Residence and Frau Domina are only mentioned in advance notice the volumes of the Hamburger Novellenzeitung in which they are supposed to be included are currently not recorded in any library.

estate

Stinde's grave in the Lensahn cemetery

Stinde's estate has come down to us in several partial collections. In 1930 Adolph Nissen, who lived with Conradine Stinde until her death (1925), gave parts of the estate to the Märkisches Museum . The occasion was an exhibition entitled "Alt-Berlin", at which a Stinde bunk was also set up. Book manuscripts, letters and photos remained with the literature department of the Märkisches Museum. The books shown in the exhibition at that time ended up in the library of the Märkisches Museum and are now in the main library of the Stadtmuseum Berlin Foundation . The rest of the estate was given to the university library of the Free University of Berlin after Nissen's death in 1957 . From here this part of the estate was handed over to the manuscript department of the Berlin State Library in 1979 . It was given the number 138 and is kept in 8 boxes. Some books have remained in the University Library of the Free University of Berlin, including Stinde's personal copy of his book Ut'n Knick . The Schleswig-Holstein State Library has acquired Stinde letters and manuscripts at manuscript auctions and from second-hand bookshops since the 1920s. Further letters from Stinde are scattered in German libraries and archives. The municipality Lensahn has a small collection of memorabilia to Julius Stinde and his family: portraits, photos, silver christening cup of Stinde children, and more.
