Venne Richerdes : Roman aus der Geschichte Goslars
by Hermann Kassebaum
About the author
Born in Braunschweig on July 31, 1871, and later dying in Goslar on April 21, 1954, he was a German Oberstudienrat—a senior secondary-school teacher—and also a writer. The basic biographical details consistently identify him as both an educator and an author.
Catalog and reference sources connect him with creative as well as scholarly work. His books include Venne Richerdes, and library records also list Bowre of Delights, reflecting an interest not only in writing but in literary study and editing.
Although he is not widely known today, the surviving records suggest a figure who moved comfortably between the classroom and the world of books. That combination gives his work a thoughtful, learned character that may appeal to listeners interested in lesser-known German authors of the early 20th century.
