During his teaching career, he trained famous writers such as Schiller[1] and met great German writers such as Goethe, Uhland, and Wilhelm Hauff. His works mainly consisted of poems, ballads and compilations of German folk tales. The most influential work that earned him fame was Die schönsten Sagen des klassischen Altertums (The Most Beautiful Tales of Antiquity) published in 1840.
