Johan Michiel Dautzenberg

Johan Michiel Dautzenberg (6 December 1808, in Heerlen – 4 February 1869, in Elsene) was a Belgian writer.

Professionally he was successively secretary, clerk, teacher, private tutor, and bookkeeper.

His work shows a strong German literary influence, and he translated Loverkens by Hoffmann von Fallersleben.

His first collection, Gedichten (Poems), appeared in 1850, and the following year the first edition of his Beknopte Prosodia der Nederduitsche Taal.

A collection of his poems was published in 1869, after his death, by his son-in-law Frans de Cort as Verspreide en nagelaten gedichten.
