Marx Möller

Marx Möller , actually Heinrich Johann Max Möller (born March 15, 1868 in Lohbrügge , † November 9, 1921 in Altona ) was a German writer .

Life

Marx Möller was born as the son of a carpenter in Lohbrügge (today a district of Hamburg ). When the father died, the family moved to Friedland (Mecklenburg) , where Möller attended grammar school for two years in the lower prima and received decisive influence.

Möller later passed his Abitur in Hamburg. He initially studied theology in Leipzig, then went to Strasbourg, finally studied literature in Greifswald , where he received his doctorate summa cum laude on Schiller's Don Carlos .

Möller joined the editorial team of the Kreuzzeitung and thus came into contact with the literary circles of Berlin and the theater. His plays Totentanz , Johannisnacht , Jubilate , Dornröschen , Sakuntala and Frau Anne were performed and the latter was not only successful in Germany but also in Milan and Stockholm. He converted to the Catholic faith in Berlin. During the First World War he was a lecturer in literature at the new university in Warsaw, then a dramaturge at the Hamburg City Theater. There he brought Johann von Rists (1607–1667) Das Friedewünschende Teutschland to a performance.
