Karl Wilhelm Schlutting (January 1, 1803 - October 12, 1830) was the literary executor of Wilhelm Waiblinger. Waiblinger is regarded as the "young savage" of the Biedermeier period, whom his posterity has obviously largely ignored for moral reasons. He made many friends, among which the homoerotic relationship with Eduard Mörike was certainly one of the most important. Waiblinger's friends, patrons and admirers included Gustav Schwab, August von Platen, Friedrich von Matthisson, Johann Heinrich Dannecker, Matthias Schneckenburger, Eduard Gnauth, Carl Miedke and Christian Friedrich Wurm. On his deathbed, he appointed his friend Karl Wilhelm Schlutting as executor, who also died in 1830 and was buried directly next to Waiblinger in Rome on the Cimitero acattolico near the Pyramid of Cestius.
