Julius Rodenberg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julius Rodenberg (June 26, 1831, Rodenberg, Hesse - July 11, 1914) was a German Jewish poet and author.

He studied law at the universities of Heidelberg, Göttingen, Berlin, and Marburg, but soon abandoned jurisprudence for literature. In 1851 appeared in Bremen his first poem, "Dornröschen", which was soon followed by many others. From 1855 to 1862 he traveled, visiting Great Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, and Switzerland. In 1859 he settled in Berlin.
