Friedrich Haug

Friedrich Haug (Johann Christoph Friedrich Haug, born 9 March 1761 in Niederstotzingen, died 30 January 1829 in Stuttgart) was a German official and poet.

[1] Haug is renowned particularly through his large number of epigrams, which he initially published under the name "Hophthalmos" (Sinngedichte, Frankfurt 1791; Epigrrams and Mixed Poems, Berlin 1805).

With Friedrich Christoph Weisser, he published an epigramatic anthology (Stuttgart 1807–1809, 10 vols.).

In 1775, Haug attended this institute to study law.

In 1784 he became secretary in the Ducal Secret Cabinet and court councillor and librarian in Stuttgart in 1817.
