Wilhelm Hauff was born in Stuttgart on November 29, 1802,
the second child of wealthy parents. From 1825-1826 he was a home teacher in the
family of the senior officer Von Hügel, whose wife encouraged him to develop his
writing talent. Hauff now began to write seriously and promptly experienced his
first successes. Even as a schoolboy, Wilhelm Hauff loved to act as a fairytale teller for his two younger sisters and their girlfriends. These were stories and fairy tales that he had read or made up himself. His sense of drama and suspense is particularly evident in his fairy tales that have remained popular to this day, and which appeared in three volumes, as Märchenalmanach, for the years 1826, 1827 and 1828 respectively. It was not until 1872 that ![]() The story of Peter Munk takes place in the Black Forest: the poor coal burner wants to become rich, to be respected. At some point he can make three wishes. Short-sighted as he is, he naturally wishes for the wrong, materialistic things: to be able to dance well, to have as much money as the wealthy Ezekiel and to become the owner of a large glassworks. When Ezekiel loses his money gambling and the glassworks go downhill, Peter ends up as poor as before. In his desperation, he calls an eerie figure, Holländer-Michel, to his aid. He promises him wealth, on the condition that Peter gives up his own heart in exchange for one made of stone. With this he loses his capacity for normal human feelings and ruins his environment: he disowns his mother, he kills his wife in anger when she wants to feed a poor old man. The old man finally brings Peter to his senses and shows him how to get his own heart back. And so it all ends well - the repentant sinner even gets his mother and his wife back. |
