Ludwig Halirsch as Friedrich Ludwig Halirsch (born March 7, 1802 in Vienna , † March 19, 1832 in Verona ) was an Austrian poet and civil servant.

life and career

Halirsch studied at the University of Vienna from 1819 and entered the civil service in 1823 after completing his studies . He was transferred to Italy in 1831 as an official of the Court War Council . There he died on March 19, 1832 in Verona.

As a friend and like-minded fellow of the poets Alexander Graf von Auersperg , Eduard von Bauernfeld , Ernst von Feuchtersleben and others, Halirsch appeared in the assessment of the 19th century in his poetic works and essays, which were largely scattered in the Viennese paperbacks and magazines, as one of the most important talents Austria, which did not develop fully due to its premature death.

Halirsch was a member of the Ludlamshöhle , a literary society that actually had no artistic program, but was only intended to serve as a social gathering. However, this did not change the fact that this company was banned for allegedly endangering the state.

Already at the end of the 19th century his poems were seen in the German-speaking world as those of a “folk ballad poet ” in the citizen tradition due to his “antiquing odes” , which could hardly realize their ideals . On the other hand, linguists still count at least Der Morgen auf Capri and Die Demetrier among the 1000 most important works of Austrian literature.

In 1904 Halirschgasse in Vienna- Hernals was named after him.
