This is a memorial for Johann Georg Fischer. He was a German poet and playwright. It is located at the 'Hasenbergsteige' in Stuttgart, Germany, Baden-Württemberg.
Johann Georg Fischer was born 1816. He died 1897 in Stuttgart.
From wikipedia:
'Fischer developed his unique style in poetry and writing dramas during his years in Stuttgart. Early in life, he showed deep interest in nature and many of his poems show this influence. He excelled in popular songs and ballads, and in his love songs nobly idealized nature and passion. His 24 speeches on the occasion of the birthday of Schiller were especially popular.
For his works, he gained the title of honorary citizen in Marbach am Neckar. Some of his admirers were wont to call him “Der schwabische Frauenlob” (the Swabian praiser of women). His seventieth birthday was a huge festival in Stuttgart. He died in Stuttgart.'
