Impassioned by the country life, he wrote stories of life in villages idealizing the countryside and published popular collections of tales.[2] He was thus called the "Austrian Auerbach". His poems had influence in his lifetime, in particular upon the Austrian poet Peter Rosegger, to whom he was to some extent a mentor. These poems were sometimes put to music by composers such as Strauss (Wen du ein herzig Liebchen hast of 1879) or Anton Bruckner (Germanenzug of 1864 and Helgoland of 1893).
