Ludolf Wienbarg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Ludolf Wienbarg ( pseudonym Ludolf Vineta , Freimund ; * December 25, 1802 in Altona , † January 2, 1872 in Schleswig ) was a writer of the Vormärz .

Life

Wienbarg, the son of a blacksmith, began studying theology at Kiel University in 1822 , but had to abandon it in 1826 due to financial hardship. For this he took a position as private tutor with Christian Günther Graf von Bernstorff in Lauenburg . During his studies he became a member of the Old Kiel Burschenschaft in 1822 and of the Old Bonn Burschenschaft in 1828 . In 1829 he received his doctorate in Marburg . In 1830/31 he was tutor of Charles Ernst Alexander Selby (1813-1843), the son of the Danish ambassador in The Hague, Baron Charles Borre Selby(1778-1849). During this time Wienbarg wrote his travelogues “Holland in the years 1831-32”. In 1833 he returned to the University of Kiel, where he accepted a teaching position.

In 1834 he published a collection of 22 of his lectures under the title "Aesthetic Campaigns". With the dedication “You, young Germany, I dedicate these speeches”, he significantly coined the term “ Young Germany ”. In the same year the publication “Should the Low German language be cultivated or eradicated ?: Against the former and answered for the latter” was published. In it, Wienbarg, as an enlightener who criticizes the romantic idealization of the dialect as an “old popular language”, “takes to the field against the linguistic poverty of Low German”. In 1834 Wienbarg also met the writer Karl Gutzkow . With this he planned the publication of the magazine Deutsche Revue in the summer of 1835 , which, however, was banned and confiscated before the first issue was delivered.

In November 1835, Wienbarg's writings - together with those of the other so-called "Young Germans" - were only banned in Prussia and in December throughout the German Confederation . He was expelled from Frankfurt am Main , fled to Heligoland , but returned to Hamburg in autumn 1836, where he resumed his activities as a journalist and editor of various magazines. Through his journalistic work for a liberal, democratic - a young Germany - he was exposed to further persecution and bans by the state censorship authorities. Since the late thirties he received financial support from his siblings.

On May 12, 1839, he married the Altona bourgeois daughter, Elisabeth Wilhelmine Dorothea Marwedel. Wienbarg's external living conditions were in no way stabilized by the marriage. Nocturnal drinking in Hamburg's pubs, probably partly caused by frustration in the face of the political situation and the prohibition of his writings, made his literary and journalistic ambitions more and more tired, his productivity declined significantly in later years.

Wienbarg edited the Börsenhalle supplement from 1840 to 1842 . Deutsches Literaturblatt , from 1842 to June 1846 the Hamburg literary and critical papers . Occasionally he worked on the Hamburger Neue Nachrichten and the Altonaer Mercur . He caused a stir in the summer of 1846 when his decision to emigrate to America got through the press. The national enthusiasm for the Schleswig-Holstein movement broke Wienbarg's plans to emigrate. In 1846 he published two brochures with which he interfered in the struggle for the independence of Schleswig and Holstein from Danish claims: The Danish gauntlet, taken by Ludolf Wienbarg and the people's assembly in Nortorf on September 14, 1846 . In the following two decades he was repeatedly involved as a publicist for the Schleswig-Holstein liberation movement. In 1848 he participated as a volunteer at the Schleswig-Holstein war as a staff aide in 1849 as a simple hunter in a volunteer corps .

After 1850, the meanwhile seriously alcoholic, impoverished and forgotten by the literary public lived in Hamburg and Altona. In 1869 he was admitted to a sanatorium in Schleswig with delusional persecution , where he died in 1872.
