Carl Borromäus von Miltitz (German: Karl Borromäus von Miltitz; 9 November 1781 – 19 January 1845) was a German poet, composer, and writer.[1]

Life

Miltitz was born in Dresden on 9 November 1781.[1]

He held a literary circle at his ancestral castle Schloss Scharfenberg for about six years from 1811,[2] with several leading authors of the time, including Novalis, Christian Gottfried Körner, Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué, Johann August Apel and E. T. A. Hoffmann.[3] He was also a patron of artists, several of whom were commissioned to paint the castle, such as Ernst Ferdinand Oehme, Thomas Fearnley, Johan Christian Clausen Dahl and Caspar David Friedrich.[4]

Miltitz' brother Alexander was ambassador to Constantinople, and wrote a highly regarded book, The Manual of Consuls.[1]
