| | August von Kotzebue at AllExperts |
 | | After the death of his first wife, Kotzebue retired from the Russian service, and lived for a time in Paris and Mainz; he then settled in 1795 on an estate which he had acquired near Reval and devoted himself to writing. |
 | | Besides his plays, Kotzebue wrote several historical works, which, however, are too one-sided and prejudiced to have much value. |
 | | Kotzebue is to be seen to best advantage in his comedies, such as Der Wildfang, Die beiden Klingsberg and Die deutschen Kleinstädter, which contain admirable genre pictures of German life. |
