Heine Heinrich (1797-1856)
German poet and prose writer, critic and publicist, who is put on a par with I.V. Goethe, F. Schiller and G.E. Dessing. Born in Düsseldorf into a Jewish family. The mixed education he received undoubtedly contributed to his generally cosmopolitan worldview. After a private Jewish school, he studied at the Lyceum, where lessons were taught in French and even by Catholic priests.
Heine's attempts to engage in commerce, first in Frankfurt am Main, then in Hamburg, were unsuccessful.
He studied in Bonn, Göttingen and Berlin, where he was strongly influenced by Hegel. As a result, returning to Göttingen, in 1825 he received the title of Doctor of Law. After Prussia took away civil rights from Jews in 1823, Heine became a sworn enemy of the Prussian regime, although, following the example of many contemporaries, he accepted Lutheranism.
The official change of religion did not give him any advantages, because his writings irritated the authorities much more than his religion.
In Heine's sphere of interests, literature always occupied the main place. In Bonn he met A.V. Schlegel and attended his lectures; In Berlin, an already accomplished writer, he was a member of the literary circle of Rachel von Enze. Heine published his first poems in 1817; the first collection “Poems” was published in 1821, and the first poetic cycle “Lyrical Intermezzo” - in 1823. He also tried his hand at political journalism.
After university, Heine intended to practice law in Hamburg, but preferred literary activity.
The first of the four volumes of his Travel Pictures brought him wide fame, and henceforth he earned his living from literary work. During these years, Heine traveled a lot, spending three or four months in England, then in Italy, where he stayed a little longer; These trips served as material for the following volumes of Travel Pictures. At the same time, he revised his poems and as a result compiled the “Book of Songs”; many poems were set to music by F. Schubert and R. Schumann.
In 1829, Johann Cotta invited Heine to become a co-editor of his Munich newspaper “New General Political Annals”. Heine accepted the offer, but already in 1831, counting on a professorship (he never received it), he left the post of editor.
The July Revolution of 1830 gave him the answer to the question of what to do next: in May 1831 he left Germany and settled permanently in Paris. In 1834, Heine met a young saleswoman at Cresence, Eugenie Mira, whom he later immortalized in poetry under the name of Matilda. In 1841 they got married.
In 1835, in Prussia, the Reichstag banned the works of a number of politically progressive authors of Young Germany, including Heine. Unable to gain the favor of official Prussia, the poet did not get along with the German revolutionary reformers, whom L. Berne united around himself in Paris.
In the same 1840, Heine resumed various publications about the life of Paris in the General Newspaper, which in 1854 were published as a separate book called Lutetia. These were his last experiences in the field of journalism; he began to write poetry, which again took a dominant position in his work, as evidenced by the books “Atta Troll”, “New Poems”, etc. that were published one after another.
By that time, the poet's health was severely undermined: family quarrels that followed the death of his uncle in 1844 aggravated the illness, which in 1848 confined Heine to bed. This misfortune, however, did not put an end to his literary activity. Although his illness made his life a misery, Heine's creative energy increased immeasurably, as evidenced by Romansero and Poems of 1853 and 1854, followed by another collection published posthumously.
Having become legendary, this creepy guy went down in history not because of the large number of crimes, but because of the horror that he inflicted on his contemporaries. The murders took place in a very small town in central Wisconsin, where nothing like this had ever been heard of. Here are 15 facts about the maniac, whose name is familiar to every American.
One of the most famous American maniacs is Ed Gein. Despite the fact that he has only two confirmed victims (and about a dozen more unconfirmed), it was this dangerous madman who became the prototype for many thrillers - books and films in the horror genre. Legends circulated about his terrible habits, and the best psychiatrists in the United States puzzled over his unnatural addictions.
15. Ed grew up on a farm, kept to himself
The Gein family moved to a farm in Plainsfield when Gein was a child. His father, a big drunkard, died quite early, leaving him with his mother named Augusta and brother. Augusta Gein was a religious fanatic, she constantly read the Bible to her sons, forced them to do hard work on the farm and did not allow them to communicate with their peers, believing that they would teach him bad things. She called the town “hell,” and considered all women “whores.” Augusta was more than just a mother to Ed, she was his whole world, his best and only friend.
It cannot be said that Eddie's childhood was prosperous. All family members, including the late drunkard husband, were under the control of the despotic and tough Augusta, who did not recognize authority, a powerful and strict woman. As for Hein himself, he considered his mother a saint, and her opinion was law. Many psychologists who worked on Gein’s case believe that his mother greatly influenced the subsequent development of Gein’s personality. So, from childhood she instilled in her sons hatred of the female sex, especially sex.
14. There was a Bible study every day
Augusta belonged to the old Lutheran school, and took every opportunity to preach to her boys about the dangers of sin. She forced her sons to study and memorize the Old Testament, as well as poems about death and retribution. Quite difficult material for a boy... Psychologists unanimously claim that it was the influence of an oppressive mother that had a serious destructive impact on the personality of Ed Gein and on his sexual preferences.
Bible study likely contributed to his shyness and what was described as "odd behavior," such as laughing at his own jokes at completely inopportune times. When he actually tried to befriend someone, his mother punished him for it. Of course, a socially empty life, without friends and acquaintances, daily forced Bible study, influenced the creation of that Ed, which ultimately horrified all of America.
13. Ed worked as a nanny
Ed's father died at the age of 66 from alcoholism. To help with money, Ed and his brother Henry took any job they found around town. The brothers had a good reputation as hardworking laborers. In addition to being a "jack of all trades", Ed also occasionally agreed to babysit children. He loved this job, believing that he was better able to communicate with children than other adults. Can you imagine entrusting your children to Gein? God, this is a real bad dream!
Around this time, Ed's brother, Henry, began dating the single mother of two. Henry was concerned about Ed's obsession with their own mother, August, and even said, "There's something wrong with Ed..."
12. Gein may have killed his brother
Dr. George W. Arndt studied Gein's case and reported that Ed probably killed his brother Henry; it was a typical case of "Cain and Abel." On May 16, 1944, Henry died under extremely mysterious circumstances. That day the brothers were working on the farm, burning garbage or grass. According to Edward, the fire got out of control, his brother was engulfed in flames, and Eddie himself ran for help. When he returned with several men, his brother was already dead. At the same time, it is not clear what prevented the brother from knocking off the flames, because the edge of the field was so close, and his body was not badly burned... One way or another, someone is inclined to think that the older brother was the first victim of Ed Gein, someone thinks his death was an accident, but Gein himself never admitted to killing his brother.
There was no autopsy, but the brother had bruises on his head that could have been the result of a struggle. The dead brother was the only person standing between Ed and his mother. Now she began to belong to him completely and undividedly.
11. He has never dated or dated anyone.
When Ed was young, his mother forbade him to have friends or go on dates with girls, but as he grew older, he never tried to break his mother's covenants. Socially and emotionally he was a tabula rasa - a blank slate. This was partly because he was socially developed at the level of a child, partly because real evil was already ripening in him, which later made Gein a monster.
Looking back, perhaps it was for the best. Who knows what these dates would have led to? In the meantime, the townspeople think that old Ed Gein wouldn’t hurt a fly. This is just a strange lonely man who can’t even stand the sight of blood, because he has never participated in the traditional local pastime - deer hunting.
10. He "mothballed" his mother's room
August had a stroke and she found herself bedridden, and Ed looked after her for almost a whole year, despite the abuse and whims. She died in December 1945 after a second stroke. 39-year-old Ed was left alone and it was then that his fall into the abyss of madness began. At first, no one noticed what was happening, even in such a tiny town as Plainfield. Ed was very reserved and rarely left the farm. Leading a reclusive life, he came to the city only when he needed the services of a mechanic. No one seemed to notice that he was stranger than before his mother died. Gein became known as “weird old Eddie,” a nickname that summed him up quite well.
He boarded up his mother’s room and other rooms that had previously been used most, and began to “inhabit” other rooms. He also gave free rein to his interests, which for so long he was forced to hide even from himself. He began to study specialized literature... Ed read with incredible fascination books about the atrocities of the Nazis during World War II with their experiments on people in concentration camps, as well as cannibalism... Information about the structure of the female body that had been hidden for so long by his mother, Eddie now furiously drew from books on anatomy, medical encyclopedias, scientific (and not so scientific) magazines - from any available sources. He was especially attracted to brochures describing the exhumation of corpses. And Gein’s favorite section of the local newspaper was the obituaries.
9. Hein moves from theory to practice
Between 1947 and 1952, Gein regularly visited three local cemeteries - he visited them at least 40 times. He claimed that he was in a daze, as if “in a somnambulistic state, and it seemed to him that he was about to wake up.” Regularly visiting the surrounding cemeteries, he performed autopsies on fresh women's graves, removed corpses and studied them. After which he returned the bodies to their place. But Gein kept some parts of the bodies for himself...
“Old Eddie” butchered the corpses, cut out the genitals, and skinned the bodies. Bringing body parts home, he sewed himself a suit from human skin, tanned and dried according to all the rules. He later denied accusations of necrophilia and claimed that he did not perform any sexual acts with the bodies because “they smelled bad.”
8. Leather suit
We all grieve the death of loved ones in different ways. Some of us are depressed, sad or angry. Gein mourned the death of his mother by creating a costume from the skin of other women so that he could literally walk in her shoes - that is, “be her.” Apparently, he has been in the shoes of many... This practice has been described by someone as a "crazy transvestite ritual", but this definition does not seem adequate enough. And how does one go from spending the afternoon studying the Bible to cutting up the bodies of women? Almost immediately after he began collecting his creepy “collection,” he sewed clothes for himself from women’s skin. Later, he will be discovered to have a whole nightmarish wardrobe made by his own hands from human skin, as well as masks.
Gein kept the severed body parts stolen from cemeteries in his home. Heads, scalps and skulls were hung on its walls. Strange rumors began to circulate about Gein's farm, but he only laughed it off. When the children looking through the window saw the skulls, Gein told them that his brother served somewhere in the southern seas and brought them from there. When Gein was arrested for the murders of two women, their body parts and skulls were found in his home.
7. Body parts and skin everywhere
The police managed to prove Gein guilty of two murders. The maniac's first victim in 1954 was bar owner Mary Hogan, whose corpse he managed to smuggle through the entire city unnoticed. He dismembered the body and it added to his “collection”. The second murder, fortunately, was the last. When 58-year-old widow Bernice Worden disappeared, her son, in addition to pools of blood, found a receipt in the name of Edward Gein. Having conducted a search in the “House of Horrors,” even experienced cops were shocked by what they saw - the widow’s body was hung on a hook like in a butcher’s shop and partially butchered. Edward Gein confessed to both crimes during the investigation.
What the cops discovered that night was unprecedented in the history of American criminology. Soup bowls made from human skulls; chairs upholstered in human skin, lampshades made of leather, a belt made of female nipples; dried female genitals. The faces of nine women, stuffed, hung on one of the walls... there was also a leather bracelet, a drum made of flesh and much more. The shirt with breasts was made from the skin of a tanned middle-aged woman. Gein later admitted that he wore this shirt at night, imagining himself as his own mother. The sheriff estimated that the remains belonged to approximately fifteen women. After several hours of searching, police found a bloody bag. Inside was a recently severed head. Nails were stuck into the ears, connected with string. The head belonged to Bernice Worden. Gein planned to decorate one of the walls of his “House of Horrors” with it.
6. Gein's Initial Confession Wasn't Properly Obtained
One of the most terrible crime scenes in history and the personal confession of the killer - it would seem, what problems could there be to convict a maniac? But a sheriff named Art Schley, it turns out, slammed Gein against a brick wall a couple of times during an hours-long interrogation. The judge decided that a confession obtained in this way could not be included in the case. Needless to say, Sheriff Schley died of heart failure before the trial even began. Apparently he was so
traumatized by Gein's case that his heart could not stand it. The sheriff's friends blamed Gein for this death, calling Schley Gein's next victim. Obviously, it was difficult to maintain composure in such a nightmare, but there was no need to worry about the confession - there was enough evidence to bring charges.
Gein was first sent to the Central State Hospital for the Criminally Insane and then to Mendota State Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin. In 1968, doctors determined that Ed was sane enough to stand trial, and the trial began on November 14, 1968. Gein was found guilty of premeditated murder, but instead of prison, the legally insane defendant was sent to a mental hospital for the rest of his life. The maniac died in 1984 in a psychiatric hospital, where he spent the last 14 years of his life.
4. Gein's crimes inspired the character Leatherface.
In many horror films (just remember the famous "Texas Chainsaw Massacre") maniacs like to dress in clothes made of human skin. But few people know that this terrible “fashion” was started by Ed Gein and the character of “Massacre” named Leatherface - entirely a reference to his atrocities.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a 2003 American horror film, a remake of the Tobe Hooper classic. The film is the first in a series of remakes of classic horror films produced by Platinum Dunes, which also produced The Amityville Horror, The Hitcher, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Although the film was received negatively by critics, the film became a box office success, grossing $107 million worldwide. Incredible, but true - people love this kind of movie!
4. Blind Melon recorded a song about Hein
Ever since the cops tore up Gein’s “House of Horrors,” which so amazed the people and the media, pop culture began to fashion a legend out of the odious maniac. A kind of “black humor” accompanied all references to Gein’s crimes. One of the strangest examples: in 1995, the band Blind Melon released the song "Skin" on their album called "Soup". Blind Melon have never fit into any particular genre, they are somewhere between alternative and classic rock sounds. The song is quite upbeat, playfully describing some of Gein's atrocities, particularly detailing the leather lampshades. Apparently this is funny to some...
There is a place for "shock" in pop culture, and Gein provided plenty of material for creativity - not forgotten by music makers, film makers and now bloggers. Here's a short list of songs about Gein: "Dead Skin Mask" by Slayer; "Old Mean Ed Gein" by The Fibonaccis, "Nothing to Gein" by Mudvayne, "Young God" by Swans, "Deadache" by Lordi, "Butchery into the Light of the Moon" by The Mutilator, song "A Very Handy Man (Indeed)" by The Meteors from the Madman Roll album is about Ed - even the LP cover features a photograph of Gein.
3. Ed Gein on the big screen
In addition to his influence on horror films, Gein had quite a lasting impact on the minds of all of America. In addition to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the retelling of Edward Gein's life as the most brutal serial killer in American history was made in the film Ed Gein: The Plainfield Butcher and the film By the Light of the Moon. He was also the subject of the 1974 American film Deranged.
Elements of Ed's biography are included in famous films such as Hitchcock's Psycho, The Silence of the Lambs, and Necromancy. Ed is mentioned in the series about serial killers “Criminal Minds”; several episodes were filmed clearly about the plot of his life. He is mentioned in the movie "American Psycho", in the television series "Bones", in the series "American Horror Story: Asylum", in the 2013 television series "Bates Motel" and many others. The television series Hannibal includes elements of the biography of Ed Gein.
2. The maniac’s grave suffered more than once
Ed Gein found his final resting place in the Plainsfield city cemetery, next to his parents (and this is one of those cemeteries where he stole parts of the bodies of the deceased). His tombstone became a strange tourist attraction for those who saw him as a pop culture hero. The killer's tombstone was attacked by vandals several times. And in the 90s, when various kinds of satanic sects and cults became popular, pieces of the gravestone became a popular souvenir among various kinds of “adepts.” In 2000, the entire tombstone was stolen, but was restored by local authorities in 2001.
1. "Hein's Ghoul Car"
The maniac left no heirs, and the authorities decided to sell the “House of Horrors” and all its property at auction. But on the night of March 20, 1958, Gein's house mysteriously burned to the ground. It was rumored that it was arson, but the culprits were never found. According to Planfield residents, the fire saved their town from the fate of becoming a monument to the madness of Ed Gein. However, he did not stop the flow of curious people who wanted to take part in the sale of the surviving property.
Gein's car, which he used to transport his victims, was sold at public auction for an incredible $760 (adjusted for inflation, approximately $5,773). The buyer chose to remain anonymous, but it appears to have been the organizer of a fair where the Ford was later shown as an attraction called "Ed Gein's Ghoul Car." Speculation on Planfield's notoriety was met with disapproval by the townspeople. At the Washington State Fair in Slinger, Wisconsin, the car was on display for four hours before the sheriff arrived and closed the ride. After this, Wisconsin authorities banned the car from being shown. The further fate of the car is unknown.
Boyarova O.
The topic of US maniacs was well covered in one of the essays (). Unfortunately, Ed Gein was forgotten. It is unlikely that many people are familiar with his name, but such films as “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”, “Silence of the Lambs”, “Psycho” are well known to horror fans. Where is the connection? The thing is that the prototype of the farm maniac and Buffalo Bill was Edward Gein.
The prerequisites for the corrupted psyche of the future maniac can be found in Edward's childhood.
The boy was born on August 27, 1907 near the city of La Crosse, Wisconsin. He spent his entire childhood there. Edward was the youngest child in the family of George and Augusta Hein. His brother Henry George Hein was four years older.
Gein's parents deserve special attention. His father George Gein was an alcoholic. He was unable to find a permanent job, and his family survived on infrequent earnings. Significantly, there is no evidence that George beat his children. Most likely, he himself was a victim of his insane wife.
Now as for Augusta Hein. She grew up in a very devout family. Augusta carried the idea that the world was mired in sin, that there was only dirt, lust and sex everywhere, and that all women (except her, of course) were whores.
The question inevitably arises: if she was so pious and correct, then how did she have two sons? Well, this is just food for thought.
The truth was that Augusta was a tyrant in her family. After the Geins moved to a farm in Plainfield, Augusta forbade her sons to communicate with other children and constantly forced them to do hard work on the farm. She constantly read the Bible to Ed and Henry and always said that the city in which they live is a “hell hole.”
Despite all this, Edward idolized his mother and considered her a saint. His older brother had a completely different opinion.
The relationship between Ed and Henry became very strained after the death of their father in 1940.
Andrew sought to start an independent life, unfortunately, without success. Trying to denigrate his mother in the eyes of his younger brother, he only made the situation worse.
On May 16, 1944, there was a fire on the farm in which Henry died. The brothers were burning trash that day, and according to Ed, the fire got out of control. Many believe that Ed killed his older brother. Their opinion is not unfounded. Firstly, Edward was the only witness, and the incident is known only from his words. Secondly, the question remains unclear: why did the men not try to put out the fire?
Be that as it may, Edward's guilt was not proven.
Now Ed Gein was left alone with his mother. They still lived a quiet, aloof life on their farm. But in 1945, Augusta suffers a heart attack and becomes bedridden. Edward's concern only delays the inevitable end. The woman dies on December 29, 1945 and Ed is left alone. 
The neighbors never complained about Gein. They considered him a good-natured eccentric and even left him to babysit the children. No one knew that the “quiet farmer” was fond of books on anatomy and read stories about the atrocities of the Nazis during the Second World War. He is fascinated by information about the exhumation, and obituaries in newspapers give him particular pleasure.
Soon “old Eddie” moves from theory to practice. He is attracted to the female body, but he is too cowardly to apply fresh knowledge on living people.
Ed went to the local cemetery, where he tore up the fresh graves of women. After which he gutted their bodies and took a couple of “souvenirs” for himself. His house became like a burial ground. He hung the heads of corpses on the walls, made a belt from the female genital organs, and processed the skulls into bowls, from which he then ate and drank. But the most sophisticated costume was made from women's skin.
Later, when Gein was arrested, he said that he did not perform any sexual manipulations with the corpses because “they smelled too bad.” Luckily he didn't have air freshener.
In principle, a serial killer is considered to be a person who has killed three or more victims. This is due to the fact that when the third victim is killed, the serial killer develops his own method of action. However, all researchers consider Ed Gein to be an accomplished serial killer, despite the fact that he only has two proven victims.
Although many attribute several more corpses to Hein.
In 1947, an eight-year-old girl was found murdered; the only evidence found by the police were tire tracks from a car belonging to Gein. True, Gein did not admit to committing this crime.
In 1952, two tourists who stopped for a small picnic near Gein’s house disappeared. Their corpses have not yet been found. Ed's involvement has not been proven.
In 1953, a fifteen-year-old girl was found murdered. Gein's involvement has also not been proven, but some elements of coincidence with the first murder are visible quite clearly.
Blaming Ed Gein for these crimes is not entirely reasonable. If you study Edward's personality well enough, it becomes clear that this is not his handwriting (subsequent murders will confirm this). Gein was not interested in teenage girls. Moreover, the well-known fact that Gein was left to babysit the children further proves his innocence in these crimes. The dubious evidence of tire tracks and the lack of any other evidence (the girls' bodies were not found in Gein's house) make these accusations look like a cheap horror story compiled to draw attention to Gein's identity.
But in 1954, Gein actually commits a crime. He kills local tavern owner Mary Hogan. Mary disappeared from the motel, leaving behind only pools of blood. Gein managed to quietly transport the woman, who weighed about eighty kilograms, to his home across the city. He dismembered her and kept her in his home. Mary was reported missing.
Presumably Gein did this because the woman, who somehow reminded him of his mother, yelled at the man, thereby causing his anger.
On November 16, 1957, another woman, 58-year-old Bernice Worden, disappeared. In the afternoon, her son returned from hunting and stopped at the hardware store that his mother ran. It seemed strange to him that his mother was not there. He decided to contact the police after he found a bloody trail on the floor, stretching from the display case to the back door. Quickly looking around the room, Frank found a crumpled receipt for a half gallon of antifreeze lying in the backyard. The receipt was in the name of Edward Gein.
The woman's body was later found on Gein's farm. It was so disfigured that the sheriff initially mistook it for a deer carcass. It was only later determined that the headless body belonged to missing Bernice Worden.
But more terrible things were found in Ed's house. In addition to the already known “souvenirs,” human entrails were found in Gein’s refrigerator, and a heart lay in one pan.
His trial was not long. Gein confessed to killing two women. He was declared insane, and, in accordance with the court's verdict, Edward Gein was sent for compulsory treatment to the maximum security hospital for the criminally insane in Waupana, but was later transferred to the Mentoda Institute of Mental Health in Madison.

The German poet Heinrich Heine is known throughout the world. His biography is filled with many travels and debauchery. However, the poet’s fate was not easy. Many of his works did not receive recognition during his lifetime, and Henry’s financial situation and health in recent years were very deplorable. Despite difficult conditions, he continued to create. Today, the whole world loves a poet like Heinrich Heine. His biography and work will be discussed in our article.
Origin, childhood
The future poet was born in Düsseldorf on December 13, 1797. Heinrich Heine spent his childhood here. The biography of his youth is connected specifically with Düsseldorf. Samson Heine, his father, was a textile merchant. And Betty, the boy’s mother (her portrait is presented below), was an enlightened woman for those times. She was fond of the works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Betty took great care in raising her child. This woman had no doubt about Henry’s great future. At the same time, she had a very definite idea of what her son could become. He could choose to become a general or become a financial genius. Becoming a lawyer was another option.
Heinrich grew up, and so he entered the lyceum. At the local Catholic Lyceum, Heine developed a love for worship, characterized by pomp and solemnity. She did not leave the whole life of such a poet as Heine. Henry's biography and work prove this.
Communication with Simon Geldern and Zefchen
At this time, he began to communicate closely with Simon Geldern, his uncle on his mother's side. He noticed that the boy had clearly expressed inclinations towards humanitarian subjects. Simon Geldern gradually began to introduce Heinrich to works of world literature. The boy read the works of Cervantes, Swift and other authors.
At the age of 15, the future poet met Zefchen, a simple peasant girl. He immediately became friends with her. This girl often told various beliefs and legends that existed among the people, which complemented the literary education Heine received. It is possible that Henry’s interest in folklore was awakened precisely thanks to her. This was subsequently reflected in the poetic masterpieces included in many of Heine’s collections.
The political situation: how Heinrich Heine perceived it
The short biography and work of this poet are closely related to the political situation of those years. Young Heine was infected with patriotism during the war with the French. However, he cooled down very quickly after the reaction defeated Napoleon. With the arrival of the Prussians in the Rhine Province, the former feudal-bureaucratic order reigned again. The equality of Jews with all other religious groups, proclaimed by Napoleon, was destroyed. All these events in political life left a big mark on Heine’s spiritual formation, as well as on his work. The poet grew up in the Rhine Province, which was considered the advanced part of Germany in terms of industry. Henry's parents, who dreamed of their son becoming a general in Napoleon's army, after Bonaparte's defeat began to think about a career as a merchant, despite the fact that the future poet did not show much hope in this regard.
Moving to Frankfurt, living in Hamburg
Samson Heine went with his son to Frankfurt in 1815. He wanted to get him a job as a clerk in a grocery warehouse. However, Henry did not last long in the stifling atmosphere of trade. After some time he ran away. This greatly upset his mother, although she never stopped believing that her son had a great financial future. The woman decided to send him to the care of Solomon Heine, another of Heinrich's uncles, who lived in Hamburg and was a financial tycoon. This man took an active part in his young nephew. Henry came to his uncle in July 1816. And in 1818 he was already the head of his office called “G. Heine and Co.”
Love and its reflection in the poems created by Heinrich Heine
A biography, a summary of his works and interesting facts about the poet give us some insight into his personal life. It is known that in Hamburg our hero showed himself not only in the financial sector. He became close friends with Amalia, Solomon's daughter. This girl inspired him to write a number of poems, which were later included in the “Book of Songs,” published in 1827 (its first edition is presented below).
However, the love for Amalia was not mutual. After 3 years, the girl married Friedlander, a prominent merchant. It was very difficult for Heine to fight the despair that gripped him after Amalia's refusal. He abandoned his commercial venture, which promised a lot of hope.
Heine's poetic works of this period, as well as his letters, the main theme of which was his unhappy love for Amalia, are imbued with a “romance of horror” and a gloomy mood. They contain motifs of ominous dreams, a double, love-death, etc., characteristic of the period of late romanticism.
Study at the Universities of Bonn and Göttingen
After some time, Heinrich entered the University of Bonn, the Faculty of Law. This happened largely under the influence of Betty, his mother. During his student years, Henry attended lectures and also took part in ugly revelry, which undermined his already weak health. The young man became interested in literature. The course on its history was taught at this university by August Schlegel. It was he who instilled in young Heine a taste for Byron, Shakespeare and the East. However, Heine did not stay long at the University of Bonn.
On October 4, 1820, he became a student at another educational institution - the University of Göttingen. However, he could only hold out there for 14 months. A duel with a classmate (or rather, her attempt) became the reason for Heine’s expulsion. It was arranged for some minor reason.
Continuing education at the University of Berlin
Heinrich Heine continued his education at the University of Berlin at the end of February 1821. Here he leads a social life. Heinrich makes various acquaintances with many German writers. In the same year, Heinrich began selling his poetic works to newspapers. However, Heine's poems are not noticed by either readers or critics. Nevertheless, the Berlin press publishes the works "Ballad of the Moor", "Terrible Night", "Minnesingers" and others.
Tragedies and the first collection of poems
It was at this time that the news reached him that Amalia Heine had gotten married. This was the reason that the poet began to participate in various orgies and revelries. With all his strength he tried to get rid of the melancholy that gripped him. Nevertheless, he constantly created new poetic works. The first publications of his creations date back to this time. After some time, the tragedies “Ratcliffe”, “Almanzor”, as well as a collection of poems called “Lyrical Intermezzo” appeared in print. Thanks to this collection, published in 1823, Heine gained fame in literary circles.
Political views, moving to Cuxhaven
In the same year, Henry’s political worldview finally took shape. The Prussian authorities take away many political rights from Jews. Heine begins to actively protest against the monarchical regime.
Heine's new poems were met with criticism rather harshly. She saw in the works of the young poet dissatisfaction with the existing world order. Heine, being in a deplorable state of mind, began to dream of leaving for Arabia. However, in reality he went to Cuxhaven, a small resort town. Here he tried to improve his health at least a little.
New wanderings
Somewhat later, Heinrich Heine went to Hamburg. Biography, interesting facts and new works of this period will be briefly presented by us. On the way, the poet visits his family in Luneburg. However, his mood remains very gloomy. Leaving Hamburg, he goes to Berlin, and then, in January 1824, goes to Göttingen.
After waiting for the end of the holidays, in September 1824 the poet made a trip to the Harz. He wants to travel all over Thuringia. Heinrich Heine visits Weimar. Here he meets J.V. Goethe, something he had long dreamed of. Unfortunately, communication with him was limited to only this one meeting. Didn't see Goethe again G. Heine. His biography, however, is marked by friendship with many famous writers and artists. Henry will meet many of them a little later.
Completion of studies at the institute, new works
In the spring of 1825, Heine passed the final exams at his university with great difficulty. He becomes a 3rd level Doctor of Law. Immediately after this, our hero accepts Lutheranism. Already in Hamburg he meets the year 1826. The first volume of “Travel Pictures” is published here, as well as a cycle of poems called “Return to the Homeland” and the first part of the cycle “North Sea”. A little later, the second volume of “Travel Pictures” appears. It aroused very sharp controversy among critics and in the press. It turned out that Heine's style is distinguished by daring license. The poet decided that it would be better to leave Hamburg for a while. He goes to London. However, Henry returns quite quickly to publish the "Book of Songs". It attempted to collect into one whole all previously created poetic works.
Working at a newspaper, traveling around Italy
In 1827, Heine was offered to become the editor of the newspaper "Political Annals", published in Munich. The poet settles in this city for six months. Then he goes on a trip to Italy. In this country he is caught by the news of the death of Samson Heine, which occurred in Hamburg. Returning from Italy, Heinrich publishes the third volume of Travel Pictures.
Moving to Paris, continuing creative activity
The revolution in Paris takes place in July 1830. Henry strives there with all his heart. His creative activity was already gaining momentum by this time. After the poet's new masterpiece, the book "New Spring", was published in May 1831, Heine moved to Paris. In the French capital, he met such artists as Berlioz, Rossini, Chopin, Liszt, and Humboldt. He publishes his works in two languages: German and French.
His following works were also published in Paris: “Florentine Nights”, “On the History of Religion and Philosophy in Germany”, “Romantic School”. They drew attacks from both censors and critics. Heine's circle of acquaintances in the French capital, however, was steadily expanding. Henry's friends are T. Gautier, A. Dumas Sr., A. de Vigny, O. Thierry, J. Sand and others.
Meeting Matilda Mira and Rothschild
In 1835, an important event took place in Heine’s personal life. His biography was marked by his acquaintance with his future wife Matilda Mira (pictured above). However, he entered into a legal marriage with her only in 1841. Using the connections of Solomon, his uncle, Henry met Rothschild around the same time. The latter infected the poet with a passion for stock market speculation. Heine worked on them in his free time from literary works, but was not very successful.
Difficult period in Heine's life
In 1838, the poet's financial situation became catastrophic. He had to accept the French government's allowance, which was paid to emigrants, because Henry was in Paris in this capacity. In addition, Heine had to enter into an enslaving agreement with Julius Campe, a French publisher. According to its terms, the publisher was given exclusive rights to Heinrich's works for 11 years. A subsidy from Solomon, his uncle, improved Heine's position to a certain extent. His biography would probably have turned out differently if not for the influence and help of this man. Solomon never stopped caring for his talented nephew. Material adversity and intense creative activity led to Henry’s health rapidly deteriorating. He began to see worse and worse, moved with great difficulty, but did not stop working. The poem "Atta-Troll" appeared in 1842. In 1844, Heine's collection "New Poems" was published, as well as the poem that became very famous, "Germany. A Winter's Tale."
Last walk in Paris
News soon arrived from Hamburg of the death of Solomon Heine. The biography, briefly outlined by us, from this moment becomes truly tragic. Despite ardent assurances, Solomon left his nephew an inheritance of only 8 thousand francs. This greatly undermined Henry's already weak health. In May 1848, after drinking a hefty dose of opium to ease the pain that tormented him, Heine walked around Paris for the last time. Returning home, he never left his home. Here, in forced confinement, the poet was often visited by A. Dumas, Beranger, T. Gautier and J. de Nerval.
last years of life
In 1851, Heinrich Heine created his third and last book of poems entitled “Romansero”. His biography at this time was also marked by the continuation of work on “Memoirs,” which began back in 1840. About a year before Henry’s death, Camilla Selden, a big fan of his work, visited Heinrich. She managed to awaken the last passion in the soul of the dying poet. Camilla, as well as Matilda, Heine’s wife, did not leave him until the poet’s death. Henry died on February 17, 1856. His remains are located in the Montmartre cemetery. and were among those who saw off the poet on his last journey.
Today, many are interested in a biography of a poet like Heinrich Heine. We briefly talked about his life and creative path. To continue your acquaintance, we recommend turning to his poems. After all, it was in them that the personality of such a poet as Heinrich Heine was fully reflected. The biography we briefly described gives only the most general idea of the inner world of this author. And yet he is, of course, very rich. It is not without reason that Heine’s biography in Russian is of interest to our compatriots, despite the fact that many great poets and writers were born in our country.
