1840–1919
A 19th-century German writer and painter, he is remembered today through Project Gutenberg editions of his work and reference records that place him between 1840 and 1919. His long career seems to have bridged literature and art, giving his surviving legacy an unusual, cross-disciplinary feel.

by Richard Schoenbeck
Richard Schoenbeck lived from 1840 to 1919. Reliable library and reference records identify him as a German figure of that period, and Project Gutenberg lists books under his name, showing that his writing has continued to circulate for modern readers.
Reference sources also describe him as a painter, which makes him an interesting example of a creative life that was not limited to one field. Even where detailed personal information is scarce, the surviving records suggest a broad artistic identity shaped by both visual art and literature.
Because biographical details are limited in the sources I could confirm, the clearest picture is a simple one: Schoenbeck was a German author active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with a legacy that still appears in public-domain book collections and art reference databases.
