Syphilis was endemic in Europe in the 19th century. Therefore, infection with the disease was common. As far as can be determined from contemporary sources, Schubert, Schumann and Wolf all died from the consequences of syphilis. However, as families tried to keep the shameful secret, the original sources are sparse. In this article, we will briefly illustrate Schubert's case and will then focus on Robert Schumann and Hugo Wolf. Both shared such a variety of symptoms that interfered with their artistic expression, especially in respect to Lied compositions, that it seems improbable that they should have suffered from different diagnoses, as has been argued previously.
梅毒在19世纪的欧洲流行。因此，感染这种疾病很常见。根据当代资料可以确定，舒伯特、舒曼和沃尔夫都死于梅毒的后果。然而，由于家族试图隐瞒这个可耻的秘密，原始资料稀少。在本文中，我们将简要说明舒伯特的情况，然后重点讨论罗伯特·舒曼和胡戈·沃尔夫。两人都有各种各样影响其艺术表达的症状，尤其是在艺术歌曲创作方面，因此他们不太可能如之前有人所主张的那样患有不同的疾病。
