Christian Morgenstern

Christian Otto Josef Wolfgang Morgenstern (1871–1914) was a German author and poet from Munich. He married Margareta Gosebruch von Liechtenstern in 1910 and worked for a while as a journalist in Berlin, but spent much of his life traveling through Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, primarily in a vain attempt to recover his health. His travels, though they failed to restore him to health, allowed him to meet many of the foremost literary and philosophical figures of his time in central Europe. Morgenstern became a member of the General Anthroposophical Society, and Rudolf Steiner called him "a true representative of Anthroposophy."
