unusual facts about Lachmann


Kudrun

Ludwig Ettmüller first applied Lachmann's ballad-theory to the poem (1841), and K. Mullenhoff (Kudrun, die echten Teile des Gedichts, 1845) rejected more than three-quarters of the whole as not genuine.


Catullus 2

The disjunction between Catullus 2 and 2b was first noted by Aquiles Estaço (Achilles Statius) in 1566; however, the first printed edition to show a lacuna between poems 2 and 2b (by the editor Karl Lachmann) appeared quite late, in 1829.

Georges Lachmann

On 15 July 1916, Lachmann scored his first aerial victory, using a Nieuport to destroy an enemy observation balloon over Ham.

Salome, opera by Richard Strauss, based on a German translation (by Hedwig Lachmann, grandmother of Mike Nichols) of the play by Oscar Wilde.
