Life

Bernhardi came from a famous family. His grandfather was the grammar school director and consistorial councilor August Ferdinand Bernhardi , who was married to Ludwig Tieck's sister Sophie Bernhardi . His father was the Shakespeare researcher and novelist Wilhelm Bernhardi . Bernhardi attended high school and the University of Berlin. He was the author of short stories, novels and folk plays and published the weekly papers Berliner Theater-Punsch (1863), Berliner Punsch (1866-67) and Bernhardi's Journal , which was published since 1878 under the title Berliner Wochenblatt . Some of his writings such as The Curse of Poverty and The Wool Worker provided realistic descriptions of the living conditions of the poor. Some of his books were sold in the colport diary trade, which meant that only a few copies of his writings have survived. Some of Bernhardi's writings, which can be found in contemporary book trade directories, cannot be found in today's libraries, such as the opera parody Die Afrikanerin in Meseritz .

His grave is in the old St. Jakobi cemetery in Berlin-Neukölln.

In library catalogs four works by Wolfgang Bernhardi are listed, which come from another author (W. Bernhardi): Uranism (1882), Robert Greene's Life and Writings (1874), Pathology and Therapy of Diabetes Mellitus (1881) and Hundswuth und Wasserscheu (1881)
