==Works== [[Image:Vigilien (Leopold Schefer) 268.jpg|Vigilien, by Leopold Schefer|thumb]] Schefer wrote a large number of novels, short novels, and narratives which appeared mostly in literary [[almanac]]s. Some of his novels have been published in English, as e.g. ''Künstlerehe'' (1828, with deep insights into married life).<ref>Bettina Clausen: ''Leopold Schefer Bibliographie''. Frankfurt am Main 1985</ref> Schefer was well known for his novels and their observative power, but even more for a single volume of poems, ''Laienbrevier'' (1834–1835). These, owing to their warmth of feeling, keen psychology, and descriptions of the beauties of nature, at once established his fame as a poet. This vein he followed in later years with the poems ''Vigilien'' (1843), ''Der Weltpriester'' (1846), and ''Hausreden'' (1869). Encouraged by his friend, the poet [[Max Waldau]] (1822–1855), he published ''Hafis in Hellas'' (Hamburg, 1853) and ''Koran der Liebe'' (Hamburg, 1855) containing with their glowing descriptions of the East love poetry of a realistic and high order.<ref name="eb1911">{{Cite EB1911|wstitle=Schefer, Leopold}}</ref> But, due to his [[Pantheism|pantheistic]] beliefs, his poetry and novels were barred from the curricula of the Prussian elementary and secondary schools, which resulted in his being forgotten after 1910. On the occasion of Schefer's 222nd birthday on July 30, 2006, a whole day was devoted to several of Bad Muskau's events as part of the Lusatian Music Summer, above all to his compositional oeuvre.
