Ludwig Habicht
Ludwig Habicht (born July 23, 1830 in Sprottau , Silesia ; died at the end of December 1908 in Amalfi , Italy ) was a German writer and journalist.
Life
Habicht was the son of a master shoemaker. Since his parents did not have the means to send him to university, he had to work as a clerk for a lawyer after attending secondary school from 1845, but continued his self-didactic training in the meantime. From 1857 he worked as a writer and language teacher in Dresden and went to Berlin in 1862, where he was temporarily editor of the German magazine and the Kleine Roman-Zeitung . He later lived in Sagan in Silesia and from 1881 until his death alternately in Sorrento and Bordighera in Italy.
Habicht was a prolific and popular author who, in addition to historical and contemporary novels, mainly wrote crime stories and novels, including detective stories ( Betrayed and lost 1869; Das Haus des Unfriedens 1877; Zum Schein 1886) and smugglers' stories ( Auf der Grenz 1878).
