Friedrich Schiller
Friedrich Schiller, painting by Anton Graff, c. 1785.
After fleeing Stuttgart to escape the restrictive rule of Duke Karl Eugen, Friedrich Schiller initially sought help in Mannheim from the theatre director Heribert Baron von Dalberg. However, Dalberg was hesitant to shelter a deserter, leaving Schiller to live as a refugee for several weeks.
He eventually found a temporary home at the house of Henriette von Wolzogen in Bauerbach, Thuringia, where her sons had been his fellow students.1
