- Abel_Seyler abstract "Abel Seyler (23 August 1730, Liestal – 25 April 1801, Rellingen) was a Hamburg businessman of Swiss origin, a promoter of the theatre and opera and later a theatre director, as well as an actor and an active participant in the Sturm und Drang artistic period. He was "the leading patron of German theatre" in his lifetime; he is credited with introducing Shakespeare to a German language audience, and with promoting the concept of a national theatre in the tradition of Ludvig Holberg, the Sturm und Drang playwrights, and German opera.The son of a Basel priest and a member of the Basel patriciate on his mother's side, Seyler came to Northern Germany where he became a wealthy businessman in Hamburg. His great passion was the theatre, and after investing much of his fortune in the Hamburgische Entreprise (whose dramaturge was Lessing), he would himself become a theatre director and actor. In 1769, he founded the Seyler theatrical company (Seylersche Schauspiel-Gesellschaft), that became one of the most famous theatre companies of Europe during the period 1769–79. Like Lessing, Goethe and many of his collaborators, Seyler was a freemason, having joined freemasonry in London in 1753. He was a member of the Absalom lodge in Hamburg.He commissioned works such as Sturm und Drang by Klinger (which gave its name to the era), Ariadne auf Naxos by Benda and Alceste by Schweitzer.Abel Seyler was the husband of actress and playwright Friederike Sophie Seyler (in his second marriage), Germany's leading actress of the era and the author of Hüon und Amande that inspired The Magic Flute. He was the father of Ludwig Erdwin Seyler, who became head and co-owner of Berenberg Bank and who married into the Hanseatic Berenberg-Gossler banking dynasty. He was the brother-in-law of natural scientist J. G. R. Andreae and the father-in-law of poet Johann Anton Leisewitz, the author of Julius von Tarent.".
