Siegfried Salomo Lipiner (24 October^{[citation needed]} 1856^[1] – 30 December^{[citation needed]} 1911) was a writer and poet from Austria-Hungary^[2] whose works made an impression on Richard Wagner and Friedrich Nietzsche,^{[citation needed]} but who published nothing after 1880 and lived out his life as Librarian of Parliament in Vienna. A poet and dramatist of highly individual character, he is today remembered in German-speaking literary circles mainly for his translations of the Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz; he is also known to music history as having been a close friend of Gustav Mahler.
