Topic: Heinrich Hoffmann


In the News (Tue 29 Dec 09)

  
  Heinrich Hoffmann
Hoffmann's didactic tales were written against all today's politically 'correct' principles - relying on "fl pedagogy" (schwarze pedagogik) they were meant to scare children when they behave badly and break the rules of their parents.
Heinrich Hoffmann was born in Frankfurt am Main as the son Philipp Jacob Hoffmann, an architect, and Marianne Caroline (Lausberg) Hoffmann.
Hoffmann's disillusioned view of children's behavior was not exactly in tune with the prevailing cult of innocence, which had been adopted from the writings of Rousseau.

In 1841, the German linguist and poet August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben wrote the lyrics of "Das Lied der Deutschen" to Haydn's melody.

Hoffmann and many Germans longed for them all to finally unite, a wish that only came true (except for Austria) when the German Empire was proclaimed in Versailles in 1871.

 The conscience of a nation
Hoffmann allows the facts to speak for themselves and offers little interpretation of the work itself, Although she had access to private papers, she is, however, oddly reticent abouther subject.
The award of the Nobel Prize in 1972 was greeted in some quarters with undisguised dismay, and as recently as 1983 Boll was invited by the Kulturminister of Baden-Wurttemberg to consider emigration.
Hoffmann delineates this outward structure with careful honesty, but her method does not allow her to penetrate the complexities of this extraordinary man.

 bawd:just bad poetry
Hoffmann found that by drawing small, oddly proportioned cartoons, he could capture the attention of a frightened child, and their nervousness would leave them.
Hoffmann's simple line drawings are uncomfortably lurid here: The tailor springs into the frame with a single leap clutching massive, pinching scissors, his hair flying behind him, as Conrad throws an arm and a leg into the air from the agony of having his thumb severed.
Hoffmann's own text is profoundly ambivalent -- no amount of rereading the books sheds any further light on Hoffmann's intentions, although Jack Zipes, in an interview with me a few years ago, insisted that Hoffmann really did mean the book as moral instruction.

 Madness, murder, and the healing arts - The Boston Globe
In ''Ninety-Eight Reasons for Being" she enters the mind of the revolutionary 19th-century physician Heinrich Hoffmann, who became famous for his book of children's rhymes, ''Struwwelpeter," but whose lifework was the new asylum outside Frankfurt, opened in 1861, where patients worked in the fields and gardens and where Hoffmann and his family lived.
Overseeing the patients and staff in Frankfurt's old asylum in 1852, Hoffmann becomes intrigued by the case of Hannah Meyer, a young Jewish woman who seems to be catatonic.
The novel's bleakness is relieved by Hoffmann's humane vision and by the complexity of his patients' lives.

Heinrich Hoffmann (1809-94) is best known, if he's known at all, as the author of Struwwelpeter (Shockheaded Peter), one of the most endearing collections in the pantheon of children's literature.
Those include private letters, a phrenology report, an excerpt from a treatise on freethinking and of course snippets of Hoffmann's verse, upon which Dudman builds her clever tale.
When Hoffmann tells Hannah about his own troubles, she begins to respond, and together they seem to play a role in the invention of psychoanalysis.

Hoffmann von Fallersleben wrote his text on the small island of Helgoland off the Northwest German coast, which at that time was under British rule.
And when West and East Germany were founded in 1949, initially neither state wished to use the "Lied der Deutschen" because of its association with the Nazi government and its misuse of the sentiment in the lyrics.
After Germany had become reunified on 3rd October 1990, Federal President Richard von Weizsaecker confirmed in a letter to Chancellor Helmut Kohl, dated 19th August 1991, that the third verse of Hoffmann von Fallersleben's "Lied der Deutschen" with Joseph Haydn's melody are the official national anthem of the reunified Germany.
