A German story-writer; born at Brandenburg, Aug. 24, 1768; died at Berlin, Nov. 1, 1832. His rapidity of literary production was almost without a parallel. His best story is "The Schildburger" (The Fooltownite: 1823). He wrote a great many comedies, farces, and satirical parodies. In "The Strahlow Haul of Fish" (1822), a popular piece with songs, in the Berlin patois, he gives the first example of the Berlinese farce.
