Biography
Biography
Theodor Mügge was born and educated in Berlin. His liberal sentiments, expressed in various newspapers and in such pamphlets as Die Censurverhältnisse in Preussen (The censorship conditions in Prussia) (1845), led to several arrests and prosecutions. During the 20 years preceding his death in 1861, Mügge wrote numerous sketches, tales, novels, and romances, which appeared in a complete edition in 1862-67 (33 vols.). Several works, including Toussaint (1840) and Afraja (1854), have been translated into English. Notable are Mügge's Norwegian romances and sketches of travel: Leben and Lieben in Norwegen (“Life and love in Norway,” 1858); Skizzen aus dem Norden (“Sketches from the North,” 1844); and Nordisches Bilderbuch (“Nordic picture album,” 1858; 3d ed. 1862).

- 1.Das Geburtsjahr wird gelegentlich in Nachschlagewerken fälschlich mit 1806 angegeben, so etwa in der Allgemeinen Deutschen Biographie. Hugo Willich hat jedoch schon 1923 das richtige Geburtsjahr festgestellt: „Nach dem Taufregister der Jerusalems-Kirche zu Berlin, das ich persönlich eingesehen habe, steht 1802 mit Gewißheit als Geburtsjahr fest.“ (Willich 1923, S. 5.) Die Eltern Mügges hatten seit 1790 in wilder Ehe gelebt und erst am 30. Mai 1802 geheiratet. Das könnte der Grund gewesen sein, ein späteres Geburtsjahr anzugeben (vgl. Willich 1923, S. 6). Auch die Namensänderung (Mücke in Mügge) könnte erfolgt sein, „um die unerquicklichen Familienverhältnisse des Elternhauses zu verschleiern.“ (Willich 1923, S. 6.)
