Artistic creation
The Palatinate poet Karl Gottfried Nadler became known for his dialect poems and his mocking poems about the March Revolution of 1848. His best-known work is Das Puckkasten-Lied vom Große Hecker , a mock ballad about the Baden revolutionary leader, his former professional colleague Friedrich Hecker , who after the defeat of the Heckerzuges appeared at the end of April 1848.
Two of Hecker's followers perpetrated this ballad, which began with the lines “Look, there is the great Hecker, / a feather on his hat, / look, there stands the people awakening, / panting for tyrant blood!” And was distributed as a pamphlet an assassination attempt on Nadler, which he only barely survived, and of the consequences of which he later died at the age of 40.
After Nadler's death, his work, the Fröhlich Pfalz, Gott erhalt’s collection , was given an expanded new edition in 1851, in which the ballad by Großer Hecker was also published in print.
Karl Gottfried Nadler died in Heidelberg. He was buried in the Heidelberg mountain cemetery. His final resting place in the (Dept. D). is located above the so-called professors row near the grave of Wilhelm Furtwängler .
