    The writer and poet Jean Paul (1763 to 1825), who came from Wunsiedel, moved to Bayreuth with his wife and two children in 1804. He spent the last years of his life here, withdrawn and plagued by illness. In 1823, Jean Paul contracted cataracts and gradually went blind. In 1825, he also developed dropsy, from which he died on November 14th. He is buried in the city cemetery in Bayreuth. In 1841, King Ludwig I dedicated his monument in Friedrichstrasse, not far from Jean Paul's last home.

    Jean Paul (French [ʒɑ̃] and German [paʊl]; born March 21, 1763 in Wunsiedel; † November 14, 1825 in Bayreuth; actually Johann Paul Friedrich Richter) was a German writer. In terms of literary history, his work stands between the classical and romantic epochs. The name change he chose goes back to Jean Paul's great admiration for Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

    In 1841, on the 16th anniversary of the poet's death, the monument cast in Munich was inaugurated on behalf of King Ludwig I, who was also the Duke of Franconia, in the presence of two of the poet's grandchildren. It was designed by one of the most famous sculptors of his time: Ludwig von Schwanthaler (1802-1848).
