Ludwig Eichrodt

Eichrodt, Ludwig (Durlach, 1827-92, Lahr), went to school at Karlsruhe, and studied at Heidelberg and Freiburg universities before becoming an official in the Baden Ministry of Justice and later a judge (Oberamtsrichter) at Lahr. He wrote much humorous poetry, some of it in dialect. In 1855 he began to publish in Fliegende Blätter (Munich) some of the naïvely comic poems of S. F. Sauter, and himself imitated and parodied Sauter's unintended humour. These poems (his own and Sauter's) were described as Gedichte des schwäbischen Schulmeisters Gottlieb Biedermaier und seines Freundes Horatius Treuherz (see Biedermeier). They were collected and published in 1869 as Biedermaiers Lebenslust. His other collections of verse include Gedichte in allerlei Humoren (1853), Lyrischer Kehraus (2 vols., 1869), and Reinschwäbische Gedichte in mittelbadischer Sprechweise (1869). His Gesammelte Dichtungen were published in two volumes in 1890. His first book of poems appeared under the pseudonym Rudolf Rodt.
