Rudolf Friedrich Heinrich von Magenau

1767 - 1846 Person Name: R. F. H. von Magenau Hymnal Number: d104 Author of "Der Heimat Suessigkeit" in Himmels-Harfe für Sonntag-Schulen, Jugendvereine und Evangelisations-Versammlungen Magenau, Rudolph Friedrich Heinrich. (Markgrueningen, Germany, December 5, 1767--April 23, 1846, Hermaringen on the Brenz). Attended Kloster schools in Denkdorf and Maulbronn, Germany. Interest in writing is increased after the death of his father. His style was influenced by Schubert. His father died in 1783. He continued writing and became friends with Hoelderlin and Neuffer. In 1794 he became a pastor and served Niederstotzingen by Ulm, Germany. He served there until 1819 when he accepted a parish in Hermaringen. He served there until his death. Magenau's stories, poems, and prose can be found in Pahl's Nationalchronik. He also authored Kurze Lebensbeschreibungen merkwuerdige Maenner aus der Periode der Kirchen-Reformation, nebst 280 Anekdoten aus dem Leben derselben. (Stuttgart: Joh. Fried. Steinkopf, 1816). It is highly likely that Magenau was Lutheran as he mentions neither Calvin nor Zwingli in this book. A large section on Luther is contained in it. See also: Schwae.
