Gottfried August Bürger (1747-1794) gelangte als junger Balladendichter zu einiger Berühmtheit, mußte sich dann aber als schlecht bezahlter Amtmann und Universitätsdozent in Göttingen durchs Leben schlagen. Seine Version der Münchhausiaden, von der Kritik verrissen, wurde vom Lesepublikum begeistert aufgenommen und bescherte ihm späte Popularität

About the author

Gottfried August Bürger

436 books10 followers
Gottfried August Bürger was a German poet from Molmerswende (now a part of Mansfeld), Principality of Halberstadt, where his father was the Lutheran pastor. Bürger's talent for popular poetry was very considerable, and his ballads are among the finest in the German language, of which Lenore, Das Lied vom braven Manne, Die Kuh, Der Kaiser und der Abt and Der wilde Jäger are famous. Few of his purely lyrical poems have earned a lasting reputation, though mention may be made of Das Blumchen Wunderhold, Lied an den lieben Mend, and a few love songs.
