A German poet and writer for the young; born at Annaberg, Jan. 28, 1726; died at Leipsic, Dec. 16, 1804. He wrote: "Sportive Lays" (1758), in the Anacreontic vein; "Lays of the Amazons" (1760); and several tragedies and comedies; he was less successful with these than with his comic operas, which for a long time held the boards of the Leipsic theatre. He wrote also "Songs for Children" (1776).
