In 1813 he went to study See also:law at See also:Halle, where he remained, after the suppression of the university by See also:Napoleon in the same See also:year, until See also:- KING

William's "See also:Summons to my See also:people " on See also:March 17th. He responded with alacrity, but was prevented by illness from taking See also:part in the earlier See also:campaign; he fought, however, in 1815 at Ligny and See also:Waterloo, and marched into See also:Paris with See also:Blucher. At the conclusion of the See also:war he resumed his studies at Halle, and after being Referendar in Magdeburg, was appointed in 1819 See also:Assessor at See also:Munster in See also:Westphalia. Here he made the acquaintance of Elise von See also:Lutzow, Countess von Ahlefeldt, wife of the See also:leader of the famous " See also:free See also:corps" (see I5-now). This See also:lady first inspired his See also:pen, and their relationship is reflected in several dramas written about this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time. In 1823 Immermann was appointed See also:judge at Magdeburg, and in 1827 was transferred to See also:Dusseldorf as Landgerichtsrat or See also:district judge. Thither the countess, whose See also:marriage had in the mean-time been dissolved, followed him, and, though refusing his See also:hand, shared his See also:home until his marriage in 1839 with a granddaughter of See also:August See also:Hermann Niemeyer (1954-1828), See also:chancellor and See also:rector per petuus of Halle university. In 1834 Immermann under-took the management of the Dusseldorf See also:theatre, and, although his resources were small, succeeded for two years in raising it to a high level of excellence. The theatre, however, was insufficiently endowed to allow of him carrying on the See also:work, and
in 1836 he returned to his official duties and See also:literary pursuits. He died at Dusseldorf on the 25th of August 184o.
Immermann had considerable aptitude for the See also:drama, but it was See also:long before he found a congenial See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger.

field for his talents. His See also:early plays are imitations, partly of See also:Kotzebue's, partly of the Romantic dramas of See also:Tieck and See also:Milliner, and are now forgotten. In 1826, however, appeared Cardenio and Celinde, a love tragedy of more promise; this, as well as the earlier productions, awakened the See also:ill-will of Platen, who made Immermann the subject of his wittiest See also:satire, Der romanlische See also:Oedipus. Between 1827 and 1832 Immermann redeemed his See also:good name by a See also:series of See also:historical tragedies, Das Trauerspiel in See also:Tirol (1827), Kaiser See also:Friedrich II. (1828) and a trilogy from See also:Russian See also:history, See also:Alexis (1832). His masterpiece is the poetic See also:mystery, See also:Merlin (1831), a See also:noble poem, which, like its See also:model, See also:Faust, deals with the deeper problems of See also:modern spiritual See also:life. Immermann's important. dramaturgic experiments in Dusseldorf are described in detail in Diisseldorfer Anfange (184o). More significant is his position as a novelist. Here he clearly stands on the boundary See also:line between Romanticism and modern literature; his Epigonen (1836) might be described as one of the last Romantic imitations of See also:Goethe's Wilhelm Meister, while the satire and See also:realism of his second novel, Miinchhausen (1838), See also:form a See also:complete break with the older literature. As a See also:prose-writer Immermann is perhaps best remembered to-See also:day by the admirable See also:story of See also:village life, Der Oberliof, which is embedded in the formless See also:mass of Miinchhausen. His last work was an unfinished epic, See also:Tristan and Isolde (1840).
Immermann's Gesammelte Schriften were published in 14 vols. in 1835–1843; a new edition, with See also:biography and introduction by R. Boxberger, in 20 vols. (See also:Berlin, 1883) ; selected See also:works, edited by M. See also:Koch, (4 vols., 1887–1888) and F. Muncker (6 vols., 1897).
