An Austrian poet (1781-1862). He wrote many war songs; one of which, "War-Song of the Austrian Army" (1809), was deemed not unworthy of notice by the official organ of the French government. His opera "The Swiss Family" (1811) was produced on every German stage. His theatrical pieces numbered over 200.
