WOLLENWEBER, Louis August, author, born in Speyer, on the Rhine, Germany, 5 December, 1807; died in Reading, Pennsylvania, 25 July, 1888. He was educated at Speyer for the trade of a printer, was employed at his vocation at Homburg, and was compelled to emigrate to this country in consequence of his being one of the agitators of the "Hambacher Volksfest." After his arrival in Philadelphia he was first engaged on the "Schnellpost," afterward founded a new German paper, "Der Freimuethige," and subsequently acquired possession of the "Demokrat," the chief German newspaper in Philadelphia. In 1853 he sold the "Demokrat," and afterward resided in the Lebanon valley and in Reading. He was a frequent correspondent of the German newspapers, and published "Sketches of Domestic Life in Pennsylvania," a collection of" poems and sketches in the mixed German and English of the Pennsylvania Germans (Philadelphia, 1869); " Treu his in den Tod" (1875); and " Zwei treue Kameraden" (1878).
