Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart

Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart (24 March 1739 – 10 October 1791), was a German poet, organist, composer, and journalist. He was repeatedly punished for his writing and spent ten years in severe conditions in jail.

Life

Born at Obersontheim in Swabia, he entered the University of Erlangen in 1758 as a student of theology. He led a dissolute life, and after two years' stay was summoned home by his parents. After attempting to earn a livelihood as private tutor and as assistant preacher, his musical talents gained him the appointment of organist in Geislingen an der Steige. Meeting Schubart in Ludwigsburg in 1772, Charles Burney called him "the first, real great harpsichord player that I had hitherto met with in Germany ... He is formed on the Bach school; but is an enthusiast, and original in genius. Many of his pieces are printed in Holland; they are full of taste and fire. He played on the Clavichord, with great delicacy and expression; his finger is brilliant, and fancy rich." Schubart was unappreciated in Ludwigsburg, according to Burney: "The common people think him mad, and the rest overlook him." As a consequence of his wild life and blasphemy, found expressed in a parody of the litany, he was later expelled from the country.

1911 Schubart

1911 Schubart, provisional designation 1973 UD, is an outer main-belt asteroid discovered on October 25, 1973 by Paul Wild at Zimmerwald Observatory, near Bern, Switzerland.

With an diameter of 80 kilometers, it is one of the largest members of the Hilda family asteroids, which are in 3:2 orbital resonance with the gas-giant Jupiter. It is also the largest and name-giving body of the Schubart family, a collisional subgroup with related orbits, believed to have originated from a previously existing, larger asteroid (also see Asteroid family). It is the darkest P-type asteroid with a very low geometric albedo of 0.0249.

The asteroid is named in honor of German astronomer Joachim Schubart, from the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut. He developed an averaging techniques for observing the long-term motions of minor planets, which he applied to study in detail the members of the Hilda family.
