Karl Stieler

Life

Stieler was the son of the painter Joseph Karl Stieler and his wife, the poet Josephine von Miller.

After graduating from school, he studied Law at the University of Munich. He later transferred to the University of Heidelberg, where he earned his PhD in 1869.

He subsequently worked as a lawyer for about a year, but abandoned that career in favour of extensive travel through Great Britain, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, and Hungary. Stieler earned his living by writing about these journeys, and other articles, mostly for the Allgemeine Zeitung.

Stieler returned to Munich to settle down, where he quickly became acquainted with fellow writers Paul Heyse and Emanuel Geibel; these two introduced him into the Munich literary circle Die Krokodile (The Crocodiles). During these years he became the editor of the Fliegenden Blätter, and was influenced in his writing by Franz von Kobell.

In 1882, Stieler was promoted to Archive Assessor of the Bavarian Public Records Office in Munich. He died of pneumonia there, at the age of 43, on April 12, 1885. At his request, he was buried in Tegernsee.

The community of Tegernsee am Leeberghand commissioned the sculptor Thomas Dennerlein to create a memorial for Stieler.

gollark: How come you've got weird punctuation on some of the files like `#node_class.py#` though?
gollark: I mostly prefer to get sort-of-working things done first, and tweak them until they work better, myself. Your thing seems interesting.
gollark: The sidebar bit is going to eventually contain stuff like search and quick shortcuts, but I haven't actually implemented that.
gollark: The current version isn't actually on there because I... don't really know how to use git very well, and it's quite unfinished, and the old version is designed very differently. I have this picture, though, showing its rough UI so far, the markdown rendering capability, and the "recent pages" bit at the side (I might move that).
gollark: I'm using dokuwiki for this now but it's pretty annoying in some ways; my thing has gotten as far as "you can create, edit and view pages", at least.
