German dramatist and writer of poetry and prose (1813–1837)

Their life

Karl Georg Büchner was a German dramatist and writer of poetry and prose who lived from 17 October 1813 to 19 February 1837. He is considered part of the Young Germany movement. He was also a revolutionary, and he was the brother of the physician and philosopher Ludwig Büchner.

At the age of 21, Büchner wrote a pamphlet with others called *The Hessian Courier*. It has been described as the most revolutionary manifesto of the nineteenth century before *The Communist Manifesto*.

Büchner died at 23, which limited his literary output, but his work is generally held in great esteem in Germany. Although his career was brief, his plays had a profound influence on naturalism, expressionism, and later developments in European theater.

Note: The reference does not mention where Büchner was born or where he died, so this life does not include the birthplace (Goddelau) or the place of death (Zurich) given in your request.
