Among his new acquaintances were the director of the K\u00f6nigliche Nationaltheater [Royal National Theatre] at Gendarmenmarkt August Wilhelm Iffland and the singer and actor Franz von Holbein, with whom he would work together years later in Bamberg. While in the Prussian capital, Hoffmann completed his first stage play \u201cDie Maske\u201d [the Mask], which he sent to Queen Luise of Prussia in the faint hope that she would help him put it on as a public performance. Hoffmann would take composition lessons with the then renowned kapellmeister and author Johann Friedrich Reichardt.<br><br>He passed his third law exam with the grade \u201cexcellent\u201d in 1800. Hoffmann however was not able to continue working in Berlin, as he had hoped. Instead, he was transferred to work as an assessor in Posen (Pozna\u0144), which, until a few years prior, had been part of the Kingdom of Poland. There he married Maria (Mischa) Thekla Michaelina Rorer-Trzynska in 1803. She gave birth to a daughter in July 1805, whom the proud father christened Caecilia, after the patron saint of music. However, as fate would have it, the Hoffmanns\u2018 only child would die two years later.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-8 col-md-offset-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class='ho-button-group' ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-standard-image-copy  align-left\" data-parallax='{\"child\":\".motion-image\",\"mask\":\".row\",\"full\":{\"y\": [5,-5]}}' id=\"sticky_69f8bc9c95f33\">\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\" data-parallax='{\"child\":\".row\",\"mask\":\".motion-image\",\"in\":{\"scale\": [1.1,1.1],\"opacity\": [0,0]},\"center\":{\"scale\": [1.1,1],\"opacity\": [0,1],\"ease\":\"sine.out\"},\"out\":{\"opacity\": [1,0]}}'>\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-4 \">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"padding-bottom-minimal padding-top-minimal copy\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"margin-bottom-third  has-highlight-color\">Stopovers<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn 1804, Hoffmann was sent to work as a councillor in Warsaw (Warszawa), which had been under Prussian occupation since 1796.

Like most of his colleagues, Hoffmann refused to swear allegiance to the new French government, which resulted in him losing his job. The following year he returned to Berlin, where he was once again unsuccessful in gaining employment. Unexpectedly, he received an offer to work as a musical director in Bamberg. There, over the following years, he would make a living working as a kapellmeister, theatre painter, composer, theatre architect and music teacher. He was also deeply involved in music criticism and writing. In 1813, he was offered a one-year engagement as a theatrical kapellmeister in Dresden.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-headline has-highlight-color settings-intend block-no-margin\" >\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-7 col-md-offset-5\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"h4\">Finally there<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-copy settings-intend\">\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-7 col-md-offset-5\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"copy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Berlin was one of Hoffmann\u2019s two main places of activity.

The apartment was 128 square metres and was comprised of four rooms, a kitchen and servants\u2019 quarters. The Lutter &amp; Wegner restaurant was in the immediate vicinity. Hoffmann simply loved to sit there all night long with his artist friends, drinking rum, red wine and champagne and spinning tales. At just 15 square metres, the poet\u2019s study was the smallest room in the apartment. From there, he had a fabulous view of the entire square and the back of the theatre. The view of the Gendarmenmarkt from this window would later become the backdrop for one of the last stories he wrote, \u201cDes Vetters Eckfenster\u201c [My Cousin&#8217;s Corner Window].<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-standard-image-copy  align-left\" data-parallax='{\"child\":\".motion-image\",\"mask\":\".row\",\"full\":{\"y\": [5,-5]}}' id=\"sticky_69f8bc9c97825\">\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\" data-parallax='{\"child\":\".row\",\"mask\":\".motion-image\",\"in\":{\"scale\": [1.1,1.1],\"opacity\": [0,0]},\"center\":{\"scale\": [1.1,1],\"opacity\": [0,1],\"ease\":\"sine.out\"},\"out\":{\"opacity\": [1,0]}}'>\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-4 \">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"padding-bottom-minimal padding-top-minimal copy\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor all of his life, E.

His nose was narrow and curved, his mouth shut tight. Outwardly, his most striking feature was his extraordinary mannerisms, which would reach a climax whenever he told a story. When he greeted people and bid farewell, his neck would make short, fast, repetitive flexing movements, while his head would remain completely still, which could appear somewhat grotesque and could easily come across as ironic if the impression made by this strange gesture wasn\u2019t offset by his very friendly nature on such occasions.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A jurist, a reveller and a poet: the life of this exceptional character was full of contrasts.
