Adolf Paul

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adolf Paul (6 January 1863 in Bromö, Vänersee – 30 September 1943 in Berlin) was a German / Swedish / Finnish writer. He along with figures such as August Strindberg, Edvard Munch, and Stanisław Przybyszewski was one of the circle of artists who gathered at the tavern Zum schwarzen Ferkel (the 'Black Piglet') in Berlin.

As a student at the Helsinki Music Institute, Adolf Paul became a close friend of Jean Sibelius, the Finn composer. Sibelius later wrote the incidental music to Paul's play, King Christian II, a piece about the Scandinavian king.
