Viggo Stuckenberg
Viggo Stuckenberg (born September 17, 1863 in Vridsløselille , now part of Albertslund Kommune , † December 6, 1905 in Copenhagen ) was a Danish poet who is known for his lyrical and soulful poems.
Life
Viggo Stuckenberg's father, Frederik Henrik Stuckenberg (1832–1899), was a teacher in the state prison in Vridsløselille. His mother's name was Johanne Georgine Fog (1833–1895) and he had three younger siblings: Børge, Tyge and Else. In 1872 the father was employed in Copenhagen and the family moved to Nørrebro . In 1884 Viggo Stuckenberg became a high school student in Det von Westenske Institute and then began his studies at the University of Copenhagen . He first studied theology , then science , but left the university in 1886 and became a teacher at Slomanns Skole in Frederiksberg . He stayed in that position for the rest of his life.
In 1887 he married Ingeborg Pamperin (1866–1904), who enchanted the circle of like-minded poets who often met in Stuckenberg's house, including Sophus Claussen and Johannes Jørgensen . The couple had been engaged since 1884 and had two sons - Henrik (* 1890) and Niels Holger (* 1891). The marriage ended tragically when Ingeborg Stuckenberg left husband and children in 1903 after some tensions in their relationship and emigrated to New Zealand with the gardener, Hans Madsen . However, the new relationship turned into a disappointment for her. Madsen returned to Denmark , whereupon she committed suicide in 1904. In the same year Viggo Stuckenberg married Hans Madsen's former wife, Clara Holbøll (1868–1940). The poet died the following year of inflammation of the kidneys and was buried in the Assistens cemetery .
The drama of his life became a constant inspiration for his poetry, where the main themes are conjugal happiness and breakdown.
Some of his most famous poems are To som elsker hinanden ( two who love each other , music: Emil Reesen oa) and Forårsregn ( spring rain ).
