From 1811 to 1817 he was the editor in charge of Cotta's Morgenblatt. With Friedrich Christoph Weisser, he published an epigramatic anthology (Stuttgart 1807–1809, 10 vols.). He also published fables, ballads, and stories.
Friedrich Haug was the son of Balthasar Haug, a teacher at the Karlsschule. In 1775, Haug attended this institute to study law. In 1784 he became secretary in the Ducal Secret Cabinet and court councillor and librarian in Stuttgart in 1817. Haug died on 30 January 1829.[2]
