about
Wilhelm Hauff (November 29, 1802 - November 18, 1827) was a German poet and novelist. Wilhelm Hauff was born in Stuttgart, the son of August Friedrich Hauff, a secretary in the ministry of foreign affairs, and Hedwig Wilhelmine Elsaesser Hauff. He was the second of four children. Young Hauff lost his father when he was seven years old, and his early education was practically self-gained in the library of his maternal grandfather at Tübingen, where his mother had moved after the death of her husband. In 1818 he was sent to the Klosterschule at Blaubeuren, and in 1820 began to study at the University of Tübingen. In four years he completed his philosophical and theological studies at the Tübinger Stift. On leaving the university, Hauff became tutor to the children of the famous Württemberg minister of war, General Baron Ernst Eugen von Hugel (1774-1849) and for them wrote his Märchen (fairy tales), which he published in his Märchen almanach auf das Jahr 1826 (Fairytale Almanac of 1826). Some of these stories are very popular in German-speaking countries to this day, such as "Der kleine Muck" ("The History of Little Mook"), "Kalif Storch" ("Caliph Stork"), "Die Geschichte von dem Gespensterschiff" ("The Tale of the Ghost Ship"), and "Der Zwerg Nase" ("Dwarf Long-Nose") — all set in the Orient — and "Das kalte Herz" ("The Cold Heart") and "Das Wirtshaus im Spessart" ("The Inn in Spessart"), both set in Germany. He also wrote there the first part of the Mitteilungen aus den Me
