Maximilian Beilhack

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maximilian Beilhack , often also Max Beilhack (born October 17, 1835 in Landshut , † December 23, 1885 in Aschaffenburg ) was a German poet and educator.

Life

The son of the grammar school professor and rector of the Maximiliansgymnasium in Munich , Johann Georg Beilhack (1802–1864), passed the Abitur examination at the Maximiliansgymnasium in 1854 - with Karl August Heigel , among others - and then studied classical philology and German at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich , interrupted by one year of singing studies in Stuttgart. In 1860 he passed the state examination for teaching and in 1863 took a position as a realism teacher at the Kgl. Trade school in Aschaffenburg.

Maximilian Beilhack worked as an author in a wide variety of areas, including publications on German and Bavarian history and regional studies, literary history and as a translator and editor of classical texts. As a poet, he created a drama and numerous poems that were well received: ... the two poems by Maximilian Beilhack [betray] the born poet: "The Spinner", a lovely genre picture, and "Ein Waldsteig", where the final turn is a very great one happy effect . The composer Gustav Bergmann (1837-1892) set three poems by Beilhack to music.

Under the club name Nashorn , Beilhack was a member of the emphatically apolitical Munich poet's circle Die Krokodile , which existed from 1856 to 1882. Its founders included Felix Dahn , Paul Heyse , Emanuel Geibel and Hermann Lingg , with whom he also corresponded and was sometimes friends.
