Hermann Arno Trachbrodt (born August 16, 1848 in Dresden ; † June 5, 1911 there ) was an autograph , secretary and stenographer .

Life

Arno Trachbrodt grew up in a happy, if modest, middle-class family. He took the first shorthand lesson on February 9, 1865. He won several prizes in shorthand prize writing. According to an advertisement in the "Dresdner Nachrichten" on November 4, 1868, he gave the first stenography lessons. His first autograph work was number 8 of "Echos" from 1871. The first textbook he autographed was Professor Heinrich Rätzsch's "Debattenschrift", which is unfortunately out of print and only in abbreviated form, and he also autographed all editions of the extensive reader for budding Gabelsberg stenographers by Professor Karl Engelhard, Eckstein's Humoresken, Lose Blätter, etc., as well as the federal newspaper for several years. In total there are more than 100 volumes, the autograph of which was obtained by his skilled hand. In 1876 he published the first stenographic wallet calendar and a stenographic wall calendar.

Both the famous Attorney General Dr. von Schwarze and Professor Dr. Benjamin Vetter made use of his nimble pen, the first for his draft of the German penal code, the last - for 17 years - for his zoological work. The referee of the finance deputation of the 1st Chamber of the Saxon State Parliament, Chamberlain von Erdmannsdorf , as well as the unforgettable Minister von Falkenstein used the brisk stenographer. Among other things, Herr von Falkenstein dictated to him the work he had written about the life of King John , the scholar and poet on the Saxon throne.

Whenever festive occasions at the Dresden court made the use of a stenographer desirable, Trachbrodt was ordered to serve, and so he recorded many of the speeches of King Albert , Emperor Wilhelm II , Emperor Franz Josef of Austria , Prince George and others. He taught many students in schools and in free courses in Gabelsberger's art. The illustrations for his brother Emil Trachbrodt's magazine , Neue Illustrirte Zeitung for Gabelsberger'sche stenographers , have been done by Arno Trachbrodt since the first issue. He practiced his professional activity as a secretary at the royal Saxon court paymaster's office. A year before his death he had to give up his job and died in Dresden after a long and severe suffering.
