Ferdinand Wilhelm Bronner ( pseud. Franz Adamus ) (born October 15, 1867 in Auschwitz , Austria-Hungary ; died June 8, 1948 in Bad Ischl ) was an Austrian writer and playwright. He was the father of the writer Arnolt Bronnen (1895-1959).
Life
Ferdinand Bronner was born in 1867 in the Auschwitz shtetl as Eliezer Feiwel Bronner. He was the son of a rabbi. He attended high school in Bielitz and studied German and philosophy in Vienna and Berlin. Bronner married Martha Schelle and they had two children. Since 1895 they lived in Vienna, in 1896 the family moved to Jägerndorf , Austrian Silesia, where Bronner was a teacher at the State Realschule. In 1900 the family moved again to Vienna, where he became a high school professor.
Bronner's son Arnolt Bronnen was excluded from the Reichsschrifttumskammer in 1937 due to a lack of Aryan evidence . Arnolt Bronnen led a paternity suit to question the paternity of Bronners. In 1941 his Aryan descent was confirmed and he was re-admitted to the Reichsschrifttumskammer.
Bronner adopted the pseudonym "Franz Adamus". He is considered one of the first naturalistic poets. With his first well-known drama Familie Wawroch (1899) Bronner draws a naturalistic picture of misery from the Austrian proletariat. It's the first part of a trilogy. During his career he also staged workers' dramas.
