Library activity in Kassel [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

Provided by a recommendation letter Voltaires, Marquis, who appears worldly in 1775, successfully applied to Hesse-Kassel at court of the Frankophil Landgrave Friedrich II (1720–1785), where he initially removed his elegant origin. [2] Luchet quickly acquired the affection of the prince and became the director of the French theater, the superintendant of court band music and finally the constant secretary of the Princely Hessian Society of Antiquities within a short time . [2] The Marquis was described by his contemporary Ernst Naumann as the “most excellent member” of the company. [3] Nevertheless, Luchet was accused of some pages of preferred Christian Gottlob Heyne to have preferred the submission of Christian Gottlob Heyne to that of Johann Gottfried Herder and destroyed Herder’s writing. [3] In addition, Luchet is said to have been responsible for the short -term dismissal of Christian Kalkbrenner from the services of the landgrave. [4]

Lucht’s appointment as the library director also provided him with the servant Friedrich Christoph Schmincke, who finally in 1788 and refuse to willingly submitted his termination. [5] Publicist August Ludwig von Schlözer, who was the most prominent critics, was the most prominent critics, who was the grievances of the Kassel library in his magazine Correspondence Info. [5]

Before moving the library to the Museum Fridericianum (1779), the Marquis took the new organization that Friedrich Wilhelm Strieder described as the “revolution of the Cassel’s library”. [2] Against the advice of the experienced librarians and disregarding the extensive cataloging already made, he introduced a “French system”, which was difficult to apply to the book stocks present in Kassel. This system allegedly came from a compatriot who had developed it for the reorganization of the Count Clermont library. [2] While Strieder fills several pages with polemical corrections, according to Philipp Losch, the changes were “probably not as bad as the immaterial old Hesse [= Strieder] meant”. [6]

However, Luchet had not considered that his system for cataloging was largely not applicable to the Kassel library and caused great chaos. [2] Nevertheless, Luchet was appointed secret advice on August 14, 1783 [7] And opened a French printing company and bookstore in Kassel in the same year, which he wanted to make a kind of center of French literature in Germany. [7] The following year, Luchet was appointed Vice President of the Commerz College and in 1785 as History of Hesse. [7]

After the death of Frederick II, however, his successor Wilhelm I. [5] An investigation commission that, in addition to Leek’s discharge on February 10, 1786, also decided to attach his printing and bookstore. [7] After Luchet had satisfied his creditors, he left Kassel on April 3, 1786 early, [7] to go to Berlin. [first] Afterwards Luchet came into the service of Prince Heinrich von Preußen, who granted him a pension of 2000 talers in 1788. According to Friedrich Karl Gottlob Hirsching, he worked there with Honoré Gabriel de Riqueti, the Count of Mirabeau, as a spy at the Prussian court. [8] Meanwhile, Wilhelm I in Kassel commissioned the experienced librarian Ernst Wilhelm Cuhn to restore the library regulations. [5] After Cuhn’s death, Schmincke returned to the Kassel library and remained its leader until his death in January 1795. [5]
