Autorenporträt
The Württemberger artist and author Wilhelm Hauff was born on November 29, 1802, and died on November 18, 1827. Hauff was born in Stuttgart. His father, August Friedrich Hauff, was a secretary in the Württemberg ministry of foreign affairs, and his mother, Hedwig Wilhelmine Elsaesser Hauff, was a teacher. He was the second of four kids. When Hauff was seven years old, he lost his father. He learned most of what he knew in the library of his maternal grandfather in Tübingen, where his mother had moved after her husband died. From 1818 to 1820, he went to school at the University of Tübingen. In 1818, he was sent to the Klosterschule at Blaubeuren. He studied philosophy and theology at the Tübinger Stift for four years and was done. After graduating from college, Hauff worked as a tutor for the children of General Baron Ernst Eugen von Hugel (1774-1849), who was the minister of war for Württemberg. It was for these children that he wrote his Marchen (fairy tales), which were later collected in the Marchen Almanach auf das Jahr 1826 (Fairytale Almanac of 1826, also known as Tales of the Caravan, Inn, and Palace in the US).
