Karl Werder
Karl Friedrich Werder (born December 13, 1806 in Berlin ; † April 3, 1893 there ) was a German philosopher and poet.
Life
He was born the son of a silk manufacturer and got his education at the Joachimsthaler Gymnasium . He matriculated in 1825, initially studied law and then, under the impression of Hegel, found his task in philosophy.
After receiving his doctorate in 1833 and habilitation in 1834, he taught at Berlin University , initially as a private lecturer, and from 1838 as an associate professor. He was an avid supporter and representative of Hegelian philosophy , and so the writer and journalist Karl Gutzkow (1811–1878) remarked :
“Even the beautiful literature, which had started to stir with new impulses everywhere, was linked to Hegel's philosophy. Karl Werder sang the Hegelian categories, translated into the language of the Brahmin. "
He gave lectures on literature to the German Kaiser Wilhelm I , but he was also very interested in the theater. Albert Köster wrote: "He went to the performances incessantly and knew how to listen like no one else. His interest extended to the smallest, even the art of make-up. " He wrote his only drama, Columbus , throughout his life. Werder was buried in the garrison cemetery at the side of his childhood sweetheart and cousin Caroline von Fidler.
