!!!Kürnberger, Ferdinand

b. Vienna, July 3, 1821, 
d. Munich (Germany), Oct. 14, 1879, feuilletonist, critic, narrative 
writer. Participated in the  Revolution of 1848 and had to flee from 
Vienna, worked as a correspondent and critic in Germany. Is considered 
one of the most important exponents of Viennese feuilleton writing of 
the 1860s and 1870s. His highly artistic texts critically examine 
political, cultural and social problems and had great influence on 
e.g. H.  Bahr und K.  Kraus. K.'s novel "Der Amerika-Muede" (1855), 
with its negative image of the USA, earned him great success as a 
narrative writer.
