Julius Bacher

Born on August 8, 1810, in Ragnit in the Province of East Prussia, Julius Bacher was a German playwright and novelist. The basic outline of his life that can be confirmed is brief, but it places him firmly in the literary world of the 1800s.

Bacher wrote in two forms that often reached broad audiences in his era: the stage and prose fiction. That combination suggests a writer interested both in public performance and in storytelling on the page.

He died in 1889. Although detailed biographical material appears to be scarce today, his name has lasted in literary reference works as part of the tradition of 19th-century German writing.
