Nikolaus Dietrich Giseke
Nikolaus Dietrich Giseke (born April 2, 1724 in Nemescsó (dt. Tschobing) near Kőszeg (dt. Güns) , Hungary ; † February 23, 1765 in Sondershausen ) was a German writer . The original surname was "Köszeghi".
Life
Giseke came from German parents and came to Hamburg after the death of his father. With the support of wealthy men, he attended the Johanneum and then the Academic Gymnasium . He went to the University of Leipzig to study theology .
In 1753 Giseke was called to Trautenstein as a preacher , and in the following year he came to the Quedlinburg Cathedral as court preacher . From 1754 to 1760 he lived in the Quedlinburg house at Schloßberg 9 . In 1760 Giseke was appointed superintendent and consistorial assessor in Sondershausen . He was only able to exercise this office for a few years, as he died there on February 23, 1765 shortly before his 41st birthday.
In 1767, the writer Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock set a monument to Giseke's friendship in the second song of his song cycle Wingolf . The writer Karl Christian Gärtner published Giseke's "collected works" in the same year.
Giseke's lyrical, narrative and didactic poems belong to those poems of the circle of the Bremen contributions which found a light, flowing expression for the first impulses of true, if shy and extremely moderate feeling. The writer Johann Karl Wezel was significantly promoted and supported by Giseke. Ludwig Giseke , the poet of the Beresina song , was his son, the journalist and writer Heinrich Ludwig Robert Giseke, a great-grandson of Nikolaus Dietrich Giseke.
