Ludwig Scharf
Ludwig Scharf (born February 2, 1864 in Meckenheim (Palatinate) , then Kingdom of Bavaria , † August 21, 1939 at Patosfa Castle near Kaposvár , then Kingdom of Hungary ) was a German poet and translator .
The severely disabled Ludwig Scharf - he lost a foot as a pupil due to illness - grew up in Blieskastel and attended the local grammar school before he switched to the grammar school in Zweibrücken in 1879 . After graduating from high school in 1884, he moved to Munich , where he began studying natural sciences, law and philology, but did not finish it. During his studies he was a member of the academic-philosophical association in Munich. As a member of the Society for Modern Life and the literary association “ Elf Executioners ”, he was a central figure in Munich Modernism . There he was friends with the Saar-Palatinate painter Albert Weisgerber , who made some portraits of Scharf.
Scharf published his poems in modern literary magazines such as Die Jugend , Simplicissimus , Pan and the Zürcher Diskußjonen . His volume of poems, Lieder eines Menschen , published in 1892, is considered one of the most important lyrical works of naturalism .
Before the First World War, Scharf moved with the painter and writer Ella Somsich (pseudonym Elohim Sorah) to their castle in Somogy County , southwest Hungary.
