Carl von Lemcke
Carl von Lemcke, or Karl( von) Lemcke, who sometimes wrote as Karl Manno( 26 August 1831 – 7 April 1913) was a German aesthetician and art historian who also wrote songs and novels.
He was born in Schwerin.
Between 1852 and 1856 he studied art history and philosophy at the universities of Göttingen and Munich, and finally at the University of Heidelberg, where he obtained his doctorate in 1856.
He studied and worked in Berlin, Paris and Munich before returning to the University of Heidelberg.
There Lemcke gained his habilitation in 1862 with his book" Zur Einleitung in die ÄsthetikAn Introduction to Aesthetics").
He taught German literature, aesthetics, and history for five years before being appointed associate professor.
The frequently- translated" Populäre Ästhetik" dates from those years.
In 1871, Lemcke moved to the University of Munich and joined the Munich circle of writers" Die Krokodile", taking the nickname" Hyena."
Just two years later he accepted a position at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam, where he was given a full professorship of aesthetics and art history.
After the establishment of a chair in 1870 at the Polytechnikum Aachen, Lemcke moved to that city in 1876, where he was the first professor of art history and general aesthetics.
Here another important piece was created for his series on the history of German poetry," From Opitz to Klopstock", as well as numerous biographies and monographs, especially on Dutch painters, for Robert Dohme's" Kunst und Künstler" and the" Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie".
Finally, he moved in 1885 to the University of Stuttgart, where in the same position as Wilhelm Lübke he worked until his retirement in 1903.
From 1892 to 1895 he succeeded Jakob Johann Weyrauch as rector of the university and at the same time became the temporary director of the Museum of Fine Arts, now the State Gallery in Stuttgart.
In this role Lemcke advocated realism as exemplified by Dutch painting and contemporary art.
He was responsible for the museum's purchase of a larger collection of paintings by the impressionist Christian Landenberger.
Ever after his stay in Munich, Lemcke was a sought- after writer of lyrics for major composers of his time such as, for example, Johannes Brahms who set his poem" Verrat" as No. 5 of his" Fünf Lieder", Op. 105, Joseph Rheinberger, and Anton Rubinstein.
Lemcke also wrote novels under the pseudonym
Karl Manno.
He spent his retirement quietly and died in Munich.
Johannes Brahms
Johannes Brahms (7 May 1833 – 3 April 1897) was a German composer, pianist, and conductor of the Romantic period.
Born in Hamburg into a Lutheran family, Brahms spent much of his professional life in Vienna.
His reputation and status as a composer are such that he is sometimes grouped with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven as one of the "Three Bs" of music, a comment originally made by the nineteenth-century conductor Hans von Bülow.
Brahms composed for symphony orchestra, chamber ensembles, piano, organ, and voice and chorus.
A virtuoso pianist, he premiered many of his own works.
He worked with some of the leading performers of his time, including the pianist Clara Schumann and the violinist Joseph Joachim (the three were close friends).
Many of his works have become staples of the modern concert repertoire.
An uncompromising perfectionist, Brahms destroyed some of his works and left others unpublished.
Brahms has been considered, by his contemporaries and by later writers, as both a traditionalist and an innovator.
His music is firmly rooted in the structures and compositional techniques of the Classical masters.
While many contemporaries found his music too academic, his contribution and craftsmanship have been admired by subsequent figures as diverse as Arnold Schoenberg and Edward Elgar.
The diligent, highly constructed nature of Brahms's works was a starting point and an inspiration for a generation of composers.
Embedded within his meticulous structures, however, are deeply romantic motifs.
Hermann Lingg
Hermann( Ritter von) Lingg( 22 January 1820 – 18 June 1905) was a German poet who also wrote plays and short stories.
His cousin, Maximilian von Lingg, was Bishop of Augsburg.
He was born in Lindau.
Lingg studied medicine at the universities of Munich, Freiburg, Berlin, and Prague, and became a doctor in the Bavarian Army.
From 1839, he was a member of the Corps Suevia München.
His battalion was used to quell revolutionary uprisings in Baden; forced to act against his convictions, he fell into severe depression, entered a mental hospital in 1851 and soon submitted his resignation.
From that point on, he lived in Munich and devoted himself to historical and poetic studies, financially supported by King Maximilian II.
His marriage to a forester's daughter in 1854 improved his mental stability, and a pension( with occasional financial support from friends, such as Max von Pettenkofer and Justus von Liebig, and the German Schiller Foundation) improved their living standards.
Lingg first gained attention with a collection of poems introduced by Emanuel Geibel( Stuttgart 1853).
His most famous work is" Die Völkerwanderung The Great Migration", Stuttgart, 1866 – 68, 3 vols).
He was ennobled in 1890.
His poem" Immer leiser wird mein Schlummer" was set by Johannes Brahms as No. 2 of his" Fünf Lieder", Op. 105.
His manuscripts are now located in the Bavarian State Library.
There are streets named after him in both Munich and Lindau.
