Wilhelm Schröder (Author)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm Christian Schröder (born July 23, 1808 in Oldendorf (Stade district) , † October 4, 1878 in Leipzig ) was a Low German writer and newspaper publisher. He was best known for his adaptation of the Low German folk tale The Hare and the Hedgehog .

Live and act

Schröder was the son of a schoolmaster . After attending grammar school in Stade , he studied philology at the University of Leipzig . In 1830 he became a member of the Corps Neoborussia Leipzig. He finished his studies with a doctorate to become a Dr. phil. Between 1837 and 1867 he lived in Hanover, where he founded and published the Hannoversche Volksblatt in 1840 . In it he published his well-known Low German fable of the rabbit and the "hedgehog" for the first time .

The address book of the royal residence city of Hanover for 1843 recorded “Schröder, WC, Dr. ph. ”at the address Westwende 3 , while his mailbox was on the ground floor at Osterstraße 265 . During his time in Hanover, Schröder later also liked to sign as a “writer and house owner in the suburb of Glocksee ”.

Because of Schröder's partisanship for Prussia in 1866 in the German War between Prussia and Austria , in which the Kingdom of Hanover initially remained neutral, the “Hannoversche Volksblatt” was banned and discontinued. After the annexation of Hanover by Prussia, Schröder moved to Berlin in 1867 and from there to Leipzig, where he died in 1878. As a political author, he criticized current affairs even after his move and published other "Swinegel" satires. In the year he died, the book De Plattdütsche Bismarck was published .

The actor and writer Arnold Schröder (1849–1895) was a son of Wilhelm Schröder.

Schröder was best known for his adaptation of the Low German animal fable Dat Wettlopen between the Haasen un den Swinegel op de lütje Haide bi Buxtehude (The race between the hare and the hedgehog on the small heath near Buxtehude). In contrast to the original tradition, he moved the plot from Bexhövede to the better-known Buxtehude . He first published this socially critical fairy tale in the Hannoversche Volksblatt , which he founded, in the edition of April 26, 1840. In 1843 the Brothers Grimm took the fairy tale into the 5th edition of their children's and house fairy tales .

Schröder later wrote more time-critical stories about the "Swinegel", such as Swinegel's Levensloep un Enne in'n Staate Muffrika (Swinegel's curriculum vitae and end in the State of Muffrika), 1867 and Swinegel's journey near Paris as a peacemaker. Eene putzige Plattdütsche Historje (Swinegel's trip to Paris as a peacemaker . A cute Low German story) from 1869.
