- Johann Gottfried Kinkel was a German poet. He was born at Obercassel near Bonn. Having studied theology at Bonn and Berlin, he established himself at Bonn in 1836 as Privatdozent of theology, became master at the gymnasium there, and was for a short time assistant preacher in Cologne. Changing his religious opinions, he abandoned theology and delivered lectures on the history of art, in which he had become interested on a journey to Italy in 1837. In 1843, he married Johanna Mockel (1810-1858). She was a writer, composer and musician and also assisted her husband in his literary work and revolutionary activities. They had four children. In 1846 he was appointed extraordinary professor of the history of art at the University of Bonn. In 1848, with his wife and Carl Schurz, he started a newspaper, the Bonner Zeitung, mostly devoted to following revolutionary activities, but also providing the traditional material like musical and theatrical reviews which people expected then from a full-service newspaper. Kinkel joined the armed rebellion in the Palatinate in 1849, believing himself to be acting legally in obedience to the directives of the Frankfurt rump parliament. In a battle he was wounded and arrested and later sentenced to life imprisonment. Although the authorities originally sentenced him to be incarcerated in a fortress where he would have been able to pursue some semblance of his professional activities, Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia found this sentence to be illegal since he was not sentenced to death and “graciously” commuted it to lifetime imprisonment in a reformatory where his head was shaved, and he had to wear prisoner's garb and spend his time spinning wool. He was eventually transferred to Spandau where his friend and former student Carl Schurz helped him escape to England in November 1850. Kinkel went to the United States to raise funds for a “German National Loan” which was to fund revolutionary activities in Germany. Although he was enthusiastically received, and met with President Millard Filmore, he raised very little money. Returning to London in 1853, he taught German, public speaking for women and lectured on German literature, art and the history of culture. In 1858, he founded the German paper, Hermann. In 1860, he married Minna Emilia Ida Werner, a Königsberger who was living in London. In 1863, he was appointed examiner at the University of London and other schools in England. In 1866 he accepted a professorship of archaeology and the history of art at the Polytechnikum in Zürich, where he died sixteen years later. Kinkel's popularity was out of proportion to his talent; his poetry is of the sweetly sentimental type which was in vogue in Germany in the mid-19th century. His Gedichte first appeared in 1843, and went through several editions. His best works were the verse romances, Otto der Schütz, eine rheinische Geschichte in zwölf Abenteuern (1846) which in 1896 had attained its 75th edition, and Der Grobschmied von Antwerpen (1868). Among his other works were the tragedy Nimrod (1857), and his history of art, Geschichte der bildenden Künste bei den christichen Völkern (1845).
