Karl Egon Ebert
Karl Egon Ebert (born June 5 (?) 1801 in Prague , † October 24, 1882 in Smichow near Prague) was a German- Bohemian poet.
Life
Karl Egon Ebert was the son of the Fürstenberg resident in Bohemia and councilor Michael Ebert. After attending the Prague grammar school and the Löwenburg'schen Konviktes in Vienna, Ebert studied law in Prague. During his studies he was a member of the 1819 Prague Burschenschaft union county . From 1825 he worked as a librarian and archivist. In 1829 he became princely councilor and archive director in the archive of his godfather Prince Egon von Fürstenberg in Donaueschingen . From 1832 he worked in Prague and in 1848 became a councilor. In 1848 he campaigned politically for the coexistence of German and Czech cultures in Bohemia and was one of the signatories of a corresponding appeal by Czech and German writers on March 21.
Ebert wrote the libretto for the opera “Der Schild” for Leopold Eugen Měchura and the one for “Lidwinna” for Joseph Dessauer .
Ebert's entire literary works were published in Prague in 1877 in seven volumes. There seem to be no newer editions. His poems "Das Erste Veilchen" and "Reiselied" were set to music by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy .
