Life

Schmiedeberg's parents were the pharmacist Friedrich Wilhelm Schmiedeberg and his wife Johanna Wilhelmina nee. Collins . His father was a Freemason and had owned Königsberg's Kronenapotheke since 1814.

Wilhelm was in the May 14, 1815 Sackheim Church baptized . It is not known whether he attended high school in Königsberg or received private lessons. Probably because of the divorce of his parents, he went to the (Catholic) Royal High School in Braunsberg from 1832 . From May 11th to June 23rd, 1833 he participated as “Schmiedeberg, Braunsberg” in the third and from May 6th to June 3rd, 1834 in the fourth art and trade exhibition in Königsberg. In Braunsberg he passed the matriculation examination on August 15, 1834. Four days later, on 19 August 1834 enrolled himself as stud. iur. at the Albertus University of Königsberg . Like many of his classmates, he became a member of the Corpsland Team Baltia, which had recently been donated . She had her offspring from Catholic Warmia and was taken over by the Corps Masovia in 1840 . Schmiedeberg took the trainee exam . In the dean's book of the Philosophical Faculty, the doctorate to Dr. phil. occupied on June 15, 1838. He did not have to defend an inaugural dissertation .

He adored the "anti-enlightener" Johann Georg Hamann and heard from Karl Rosenkranz , who recognized his artistic and intellectual inclinations. With a letter of recommendation from Rosenkranz, he visited the art historian Franz Kugler in Berlin in the spring of 1838 . There he was supposed to get an idea of ​​“art and a more solid spiritual life” . Since 1840 trainee lawyer at the Königsberg Higher Regional Court , he (like his father) became a member of the Johannisloge Zu den drei Kronen . In 1842 (1844 at the latest) he resigned from the judicial service of the Kingdom of Prussia due to health problems . He lived as a private citizen in Koenigsberg, Koenigstrasse 60. He was unable to walk and was probably not getting old. He left behind unique watercolor portraits of his fellow students . His sheets of memory were created between 1835 and 1839. He could not or did not like to draw hands . Admittedly, the title “Blätter der MEMORY” was added to the album later by an unknown hand.
