Lippmann Moses Büschenthal (12 May 1782 – 27 December 1818)[1] was a Franco-German rabbi, poet and dramatist of the Haskalah movement.[2] He was born in the Alsatian town of Bischheim, near Strasbourg, on 12 May 1782.[3] In 1799 he married Debora Auerbach, granddaughter of Rabbi David Sinzheim, with whom he had four children (they would later divorce in 1813).[4][5] After a short stay in Paris (1807), he left Alsace for Germany, settling first in Neuwied and then Elberfeld, where he worked as a newspaper editor. He then lived in Vienna and Breslau, before finally settling in Berlin shortly before his death.[6][7]

Büschenthal published mainly poetry in Hebrew and German, and one dramatic work. He composed psalms in Hebrew for the Jewish community of Strasbourg in 1801 on the occasion of an attempt on Napoleon's life, and in 1803 on the occasion of the war against England.[1] Many of his works were published in the journals Sulamith, Jedidja and Rheinische Blätter.[8] A collection of short tales was published posthumously.
