Johann Wilhelm Meinhold (27 February 1797[1] - 1851) was a Pomeranian priest and author. Meinhold was born in Netzelkow on the island of Usedom, where his father Georg Wilhelm Meinhold (1767-1728) was Lutheran priest. Grown up in the atmosphere of the Napoleonic Wars, he immatriculated at the University of Greifswald, Swedish Pomerania, in the fall of 1813.[1] After his theological education, he was priest in Koserow on Usedom from 1821 until 1827.[2] The next seventeen years, he was priest in Krummin, also on Usedom, before he was relocated to Farther Pomerania and retired early due to insubordinative behaviour. In 1851, he died in Berlin-Charlottenburg.[3] The most well-known literary works of Meinhold, translated into English by Jane Wilde and Lucy, Lady Duff-Gordon, are
