A German comic poet; born at Great Strelitz, Upper Silesia, Nov. 10, 1833. He studied medicine, but wrote "Faust and Gretchen" in his college days, and thus learned what he was fitted for. A host of laughable nothings have followed it. Among his best works "500,000 Devils" and "The Man in the Moon" may be cited. D. 1897.
