Theobald Kerner German poet, son of Justinus Kerner Date of Birth: 14.06.1817 Country: Germany

A German Poet of Substance

The illustrious German poet, descendant of the equally notable Justus Kerner, embarked upon a medical profession as his chosen path. His ardent involvement in the tumultuous events of 1848 forced him into a hasty retreat to Strasbourg. However, his return in 1850 was met with severe consequences as he was sentenced to endure a 10-month confinement within the confines of a formidable fortress.
