A German poet and historian (1809-53); born at Vienna. His drama "Master Pilgram" was produced with success at 17, and followed by "The Swan Song of Revenge", a tragedy (1834). He was a passionate champion of free thought; this made Vienna under Matternich too warm for him, and he lived at Munich, Trier, and other places. The lyric poem "Prince of Love" (1842), and the volume of "Collected Poems" (1845), are his least polemic and literarily best works. His novels are pompous. He wrote a "History of the German People" and a "History of the Jesuits".
