Abstract: Swiss literature between Niklaus Manuel as an example
of a 16th century poet and Albrecht von Haller as a writer of the
Age of Enlightenment has been little researched – despite the fact
that a large body of literature dealing with a particularly
‘Swiss’ language, culture, and poetry can be linked to the
political status of the sovereign confederation in the 17th
century. This article presents the book Teutsche Gedichte by the
Zurich author Johann Wilhelm Simler in the context of its creation
as well as its reception. The work was first published in 1648,
the year of the separation of the Confederate cantons from the
Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation and at the end of the
Thirty Years’ War. Due to its resounding success, it was reprinted
three times until 1688. In addition to various epigrams, doctrinal
and occasional poems, the collection consists mainly of sacred and
secular songs, printed in four-part notation. The melodies were
written by various composers. As well as working with musicians,
Simler also collaborated closely with the Zurich engraver Conrad
Meyer. We would like to highlight Simler’s work as a cultural
broker in the cultural scene of his city and for Swiss poetry in
the German-speaking world.
