Baron Eligius Franz Joseph von Münch-Bellinghausen (German: ''Eligius Franz Joseph Freiherr von Münch-Bellinghausen'') (April 2, 1806 – May 22, 1871) was an Austrian dramatist, poet and novella writer of the Austrian Biedermeier period and beyond, and is more generally known under his pseudonym Friedrich Halm. == Life and career == He was the son of a district judge at Kraków in Poland, at this time part of the Austrian Empire.〔 Early in his literary career he adopted the ''nom de plume'' of ''Friedrich Halm'' ("Halm" means a blade of grass or a blade of straw), and became one of the most popular dramatists in Vienna around the middle of the 19th century. His novellas are now regarded as more significant from a literary point of view than his dramatic writings. Münch-Bellinghausen was educated at the seminary of Melk Abbey and later at Vienna, where he studied philosophy and jurisprudence, and where he began his career in 1826.〔 As a boy he took a keen interest in the theater, and from 1833 enjoyed the friendship of his former teacher, the Benedictine Michael Leopold Enk von der Burg, who encouraged the poet to offer his drama ''Griseldis'' to the Hofburg theatre. Its successful production in 1835 established Halm's reputation as a playwright and henceforth he continued to write for the stage with varying success. Münch-Bellinghausen became Regierungsrat (government councillor) in 1840 and ''Kustos'' (chief keeper) of the Court Library in 1844, a position that Grillparzer had sought in vain. He was elected member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in 1852, and life member of the Austrian Herrenhaus in 1861. In 1867, he was appointed superintendent of the two court-theatres, but three years later resigned this position which disputes had made distasteful to him. His health also had been failing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Friedrich Halm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
