'''Johannes Fastenrath''' (1839-1908) was a [[Germany|German]] writer, translator and Hispanist.

==Biography==
He was born at [[Remscheid]], and studied at the universities of [[University of Bonn|Bonn]], [[University of Heidelberg|Heidelberg]], [[University of Munich|Munich]], and [[Humboldt University of Berlin|Berlin]], and in [[Paris]].

He traveled extensively in [[Spain]] in 1864, 1869, and 1879, and wrote several works of verse in German after the Spanish manner:  ''Ein spanischer Romanzenstrauss'' (“A Spanish bouquet of romances,” 1866), ''Hesperische Blüten'' (“[[Iberian Peninsula|Hesperian]] blossoms,” 1869), ''Immortellen aus Toledo'' (“<<link:0>> from [[Toledo, Spain|Toledo]],” 1869); and in ''Das Buch meiner spanischen Freunde'' (“The book of my Spanish friends,” 1870), he introduced to German readers the work of contemporary Spanish poets through translations of representative specimens. He translated into German [[Manuel Juan Diana]]'s comedy ''La Receta contra las Suegras'' ({{lang-de|Rezept gegen Schwiegermütter}}; “Receipe Against Mothers-in-Law”; 2nd ed., 1872).

His ''La Walhalla y las glorias de Alemania'' (“[[Valhalla]] and the glories of Germany,” 1872-87) performed a reverse service, describing for Spanish benefit, under the guise of interesting essays, prominent German characters from the days of [[Arminius|Hermann]]. His ''Pasionarias de un Alemán-Español'' (“Books of passion from a German-Spaniard”) described the [[Oberammergau Passion Play]].  Numerous other original volumes and translations have in a scholarly manner familiarized Germans with much of [[Spanish literature]] and [[Spanish history|history]].

He also wrote ''Den deutschen Helden von 1870'' (“To the German Heroes of 1870”), a volume of war songs inspired by the [[Franco-Prussian War]].
