Theodor Storm
Died in 1888
Theodor Storm was born in 1817 in Husum, in the duchy of Schleswig, then under Danish sovereignty, the son of a jurist. He studied law at Kiel and Berlin and published his first verses with the Mommsen brothers. A lawyer in Husum, he lost his licence to practise in 1852, the Danish authorities not renewing it after the Schleswig-Holstein uprising; he then served Prussian justice in Potsdam, and later in Heiligenstadt. Returning to Husum when Schleswig passed to Prussia, he became a bailiff there. The author of some fifty novellas, he died in 1888 in Hademarschen.
