\n\t\"Schultz-Bertram\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Georg Julius von Schultz <\/span>(nowadays known mostly as Schultz-Bertram, from his pseudonym Dr. Bertram, 4. X 1808 \u2013 16. V 1875) was a Baltic German doctor, writer, commentator, folklore collector and an outstanding Estophile.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSchultz came from a preacher\u2019s family whose ancestors had hailed from Mecklenburg. After his father\u2019s early death he grew up with his grandfather on the Torma estate (therefore he sometimes used the name Schoultz de Torma). Between 1826 and 1833 he studied medicine at the University of Tartu and thereafter practiced in Russia. In 1845 he married Theodora Unzer (1820 \u2013 1899). The couple moved to St. Petersburg, where they associated with the Estonian intelligentsia, including the circle of so-called St. Petersburg Patriots who were the initiators of the national awakening.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSchultz was one of the first to be active in collecting and researching Estonian folk poetry. As a friend of Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald he influenced the latter\u2019s decision to write the Estonian epic Kalevipoeg<\/span><\/i>, and at the author\u2019s behest, translated one part of it into German.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 1853 Schultz become Pro-Rector of the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts and a State Counsellor of Russia. Later he withdrew into private life, travelled through Europe and began his literary career under the name of Dr. Bertram. In Berlin he met Alexander von Humboldt, in W\u00fcrttemberg Justonis Kerner and Ludwig Uhland, in Paris Heinrich Heine and in Vienna Friedrich Hebbel. On his Vienna journey Schultz died. He was buried in Matzleinsdorf cemetery.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSchultz-Bertram\u2019s satirical verses in Estonian in the collection Peegli pildid<\/span><\/i>\u00a0(\u2018Mirror Images\u2019, St. Petersburg 1866) received severely negative criticism for their one-sidedness, under the conditions of the burgeoning national movement. The three-part work Ilmatar<\/span><\/i>\u00a0(Tartu 1870, in Estonian and German parallel text), in the old runic verse form, was based on elements of Estonian folk poetry. He made several attempts to write a great epic work in the runic verse (regiv\u00e4rss<\/span><\/i>)<\/span>, but they were unsuccessful. For later generations the most interesting are his memoirs of youth in German, Baltische Skizzen <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Baltic Sketches\u2019 1853-1855), Neue Baltische Skizzen<\/span><\/i>\u00a0(\u2018New Baltic Sketches\u2019, 1872), especially the parts that describe Tartu student life in the eighteen-twenties, and the collection Wagien <\/span><\/i>(Tallinn 1868), containing materials of ethnography, folklore and history from the Torma neighbourhood.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSchultz-Bertram\u2019s daughters were the composer and music theoretician Ella Ada\u00efewsky (1846 \u2013 1926) and the artist Pauline Geiger (1851 \u2013 1934). Pauline Geiger\u2019s son was the Austrian poet, art historian and translator Benno Geiger (1882 \u2013 1965).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
