Gleim was born at Ermsleben near Halberstadt.
Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim studied law at the University of Halle.
When the prince died at the battle of Prague, Gleim became secretary to Prince Leopold of Dessau. But he soon gave up his position, not being able to bear the roughness of the "Old Dessauer". In 1747, after living in Berlin for a few years, he was appointed secretary of the cathedral chapter at Halberstadt.
He became known as "Father Gleim" throughout all literary Germany on account of his kind-hearted though inconsiderate and undiscriminating patronage alike of the poets and poetasters of the period.
He wrote a large number of imitations of Anacreon, Horace and the minnesingers, a didactic poem entitled Halladat oder das rote Buch (1774), and collections of fables and romances. Of higher merit are his Preussische Kriegslieder von einem Grenadier (1758).
Inspired by the campaigns of Frederick II, they are often distinguished by genuine feeling and vigorous force of expression. They are also noteworthy as being the first of that long series of noble political songs in which later German literature is so rich.
With the exception of this collection, Gleim"s writings are for the most part commonplace in thought and expression.
He died at Halberstadt on 18 February 1803. Gleim"s Collected Works appeared in 7 volumes in the 1811-1813. A reprint of the Lieder eines Grenadiers was published by A. Sauer in 1882.
A good selection of Gleim"s poetry will be found in Franz Muncker"s Anakreontiker und preussisch-patriotische Lyriker (1894).
See Wilhelm Körte, Gleims Leben aus seinen Briefen und Schriften (1811). His correspondence with Heinse was published in 2 volumes (1894/1896), with Uz (1889), in both cases edited by C. Schüddekopf.
Many of his poems were set to music The Kriegslieder proved very popular, and were set by Georg Philipp Telemann and Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart.
C.P.E. Bach, Beethoven, Haydn, Reichardt, Schubert, and Spohr all set some of his Anacreontic poems.
After his death, his personal effects were carefully looked after by his great-nephew, Friedrich Wilhelm Körte (1776–1846). In 1862, Gleim"s library of 12,000 books (including 50 incunabula) and the huge collection of letters, manuscripts and documents in his estate were used as the kernel of a museum of 18th century literary life in Halberstadt and beyond. lieutenant was augmented by the collection of Christian Friedrich Bernhard Augustin (1771–1856).
Still in operation, the is one of the oldest literary museums in Germany.
The for Literature (Gleim-Literaturpreis), awarded for outstanding non-fiction on the subject of 18th century literature, was established in 1995. 1995 Heinz Dieter Kittsteiner
