Johann Ludwig Uhland was born at Tubingen on the 26th of April 1787.
He studied jurisprudence at the university oi his native place, but also devoted much time to medieval literature. He graduated as a doctor of laws in 1810.
He went for some months to Paris; and from 1812 to 1814 he worked at his profession in Stuttgart, in the bureau of the minister of justice. He had begun his career as a poet in 1807 and 1808 by contributing ballads and lyrics to L. von Seckendorff's Musenalmanach; and in 1812 and 1813 he wrote poems for J. Kerner's Poetischer Almanack and Deutscher Dichlerwald. In 1815 he collected his poems in a volume encitled Gedichle, which almost immediately secured a wide circle of readers. To almost every new edition he added some fresh poems. He wrote two dramatic works- Ernst, Herzog von Schwaben and Ludwig der Baier-the former published in 1818, the latter in 1819. These, however, are unimportant in comparison with his Gedichte. As a lyric poet, Uhland must be classed with the writers of the romantic school, for, like them, he found in the middle ages the subjects which appealed most strongly to his imagination. But his style has a precision, suppleness and grace which sharply distinguish his most characteristic Writings from those of the romantic poets. Uhland wrote manly poems in defence of freedom, and in the states assembly of Wiirttemberg he played a distinguished part as one of the most vigorous and consistent of the liberal members. In 1829 he was made extraordinary professor of German literature at the university of Tubingen, but he resigned this appointment in 1833, when it was found to be incompatible with his political views.

In 1815, Württemberg was to be granted a new constitution, replacing the old constitution of the Estates of Württemberg (Landstände) which had been abolished in 1806. Uhland became a prominent proponent of the old rights of the estates during the controversy of the following years, which ended in a compromise in 1819 under William I of Württemberg. Uhland went on to serve in the newly created parliament (Landtag) from 1819 until 1826.
In 1848 he became a member of the Frankfort parliament.
