Karl Stieler

He subsequently worked as a lawyer for about a year, but abandoned that career in favour of extensive travel through Great Britain, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, and Hungary.

Stieler earned his living by writing about these journeys, and other articles, mostly for the Allgemeine Zeitung.

During these years he became the editor of the Fliegenden Blätter, and was influenced in his writing by Franz von Kobell.

In 1882, Stieler was promoted to Archive Assessor of the Bavarian Public Records Office in Munich.

The community of Tegernsee am Leeberghand commissioned the sculptor Thomas Dennerlein to create a memorial for Stieler.
