Adam Christoph Schüler
Adam Christoph Schüler (born August 8, 1640 in Weißenfels; died after 1693; also Schüller and Schiller, sometimes read as Schaber, Stüber, and Schider)[1] was a German actor, playwright, and theater writer.
Adam Christoph Schüler was the son of Heinrich Schüler, a Stadtrichter (city judge) in Weißenfels. In 1660, he began his studies in Leipzig. He likely soon joined a traveling troupe that performed at the Leipzig Fair. Adam worked as an actor and playwright with several important theater directors, such as Jakob Kuhlmann, Andreas Elenson, and Johannes Velten.[2] His theatrical manuscripts, Ein verliebter Verdruß (an adaptation of Molière's Le Dépit amoureux),[3] and Der durchlauchtige Kohlenbrenner,[4][5][6][7] are included in Codex Ia 38589 (Wienbibliothek). Der durchlauchtige Kohlenbrenner may have been based on an English[8][9] or Spanish[10] source and was also performed by the theater troupe of Michael Daniel Treu.[11][12]
