Leonhard Wächter
Leonhard Wächter (25 November 1762 — 11 February 1837) was German writer and historian who often published under the pseudonym
Veit Weber. His most well-known work of fiction was ('Legends of the Past'), a seven volume idealized account of Germany in the middle ages. The work influenced several 18th- and early 19th-century
Gothic novelists in both Britain and France. According to the Germanist
James Taft Hatfield, it also had an influence on
Goethe's poem "".
