フレデリック・ミストラル
From early on, Nik Welter was involved with the "Félibrige", a poets' movement in the Provence, and was in contact with the members of the "Felibertum félibrige": Frédéric Mistral, Joseph Roumanille and Théodore Aubanel. He was often at Mistral's house in Bouches-du-Rhône and was taken up into the circle of the Féliber. In the same way, he also met German Romanists such as Eduard Koschwitz and August Bertuch. Along with the two German Romanists, he campaigned successfully for Frédéric Mistral to be awarded the 1904 Nobel Prrize for Literature.
