Heinrich Hoffmann ( June 13 1809 in Frankfurt Am Main - September 20 1894 in Frankfurt Am Main ) was a German psychiatrist, who also wrote some short works including '' Der Struwwelpeter '' (German for either "slovenly Peter" or "shock-haired Peter"), an illustrated book on misbehaving children.

He wrote under the following names: ''Encyclopædia Britannica'': "Heinrich Hoffmann" and "children’s literature"
  • Polykarpus Gastfenger (The given name is the German version of that of a Christian martyr; the surname sounds like "Gastfänger", which could be a common noun for "guest-catcher".)

  • Heulalius von Heulenburg

  • Heinrich Hoffmann

  • Heinrich Hoffmann- Donner (The second half of the compound surname would mean "thunder" as a common noun, or a name for the Germanic thunder-god Thor .)

  • Heinrich Kinderlieb (The surname means roughly "love of children")

  • Reimerich Kinderlieb

  • Peter Struwwel (This name reverses the order of the components of "Struwwelpeter".)

  • Zwiebel (As a common noun, this would mean "onion")


In Frankfurt/Germany there is a Heinrich-Hoffmann-Museum Frankfurt

Hoffmann studied medicine in Heidelberg . From 1851, he was director of the municipal Psychiatry in Frankfurt.



He is the subject of the Historical Novel , ''98 Reasons for Being.''
