1845–1896
A late-19th-century German-language writer from Luxembourg, he published fiction under several names and moved easily between literary identities. His work survives today in a small but intriguing body of stories and sketches.

by Baron von Alexander Roberts
Born in Luxembourg on August 23, 1845, Alexander von Roberts was a German-language writer who later died in Schreiberhau on September 8, 1896. Reliable reference sources identify him as a novelist and storyteller of the late 1800s.
He also wrote under the pseudonyms Nuredin Aga and Robert Alexander, suggesting a flexible public persona and a willingness to experiment with how his work reached readers. Modern catalog and public-domain listings show that his writing continued to circulate beyond his lifetime.
Although he is not widely known today, Roberts remains of interest to readers of 19th-century German literature, especially those who enjoy rediscovering overlooked authors with distinctive literary identities.
