Johann Paul Friedrich Richter (1763-1825) was the most widely read German poet during his lifetime and even more popular than Goethe. Schwarzenbach has been the hometown of his paternal ancestors and relatives since the 17th century. Their descendants still live here today. Jean Paul spent significant periods of his life, from childhood to becoming a sought-after writer, in Schwarzenbach.
From 1790 to 1794, he earned his living here as a private tutor and wrote the works that would lead to his literary breakthrough. It was in Schwarzenbach that he first wrote of himself as "Jean Paul" in 1792.
