Life
Ludwig Schorn studied Protestant theology at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen from 1811 to 1814 . Since 1810 he was a member of the Onoldia Corps . After graduating, he moved to Munich. Inspired by his contact with the circle around Friedrich Thiersch , he now turned to art history and archeology . The art collector and art historian Sulpiz Boisserée noticed him when he published his first work On the Studies of Greek Artists in 1818 . In 1819 Boisserée made contact with the major Stuttgart publisher Johann Friedrich Cotta , who in 1820 entrusted him with the editing of the Kunstblatt , the supplement to the Morgenblatt for educated estates in Stuttgart. After moving to Weimar in 1833, the periodical developed into Germany's leading art journal. Schorn succeeded in winning well-known art connoisseurs and archaeologists for current articles, including Carl Friedrich von Rumohr , Karl Otfried Müller , Johann David Passavant , Johann Gottlob von Quandt , Franz Kugler , Gustav Friedrich Waagen and Karl Schnaase .
In 1826 Schorn received a professorship at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and the chair for mythology and art history at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . In 1830 he became an extraordinary member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences . Hostility from around Peter von Cornelius prompted him in 1833 to follow the call of Grand Duke Karl Friedrich to Weimar to take over from Meyer as director of the art institutions . With Karl Friedrich Schinkel , he brought out the memory rooms for the Weimar poets in the Weimar City Palace.
By being awarded the Order of the Württemberg Crown in 1838, he was raised to the personal nobility. In the following year Schorn received the dignity of a privy councilor and was knight of the House Order of the White Falcon . Also in 1839 he married Henriette Wilhelmine Auguste Freiin von Stein, a maid of honor to the Grand Duchess. At the beginning of 1841, their daughter Adelheid von Schorn was born.
