Life

Arnold Kübler grew up as the son of an innkeeper and farmer in Wiesendangen. He broke off his geology studies as well as a sculptor training. After the First World War he worked as an actor in Dresden and Berlin . He had to give up this career in 1926 after an operation because of scars on his face. In 1927 he married Alva Jessen (1887–1965). The couple had three children: Jörn Kübler (1922–1975), Olaf Kübler (1924–1987) and Ursula Kübler (1928–2010).

With his literary work he was able to celebrate greater successes. After returning to Switzerland in 1926, he was appointed editor-in-chief of Zürcher Illustrierte in 1929 . In 1941 Kübler founded the cultural magazine du , which he ran for 16 years. He was active in his positions as a cultural mediator and initiator, but did not neglect his own artistic forms of expression: in the 1960s he returned to the theater stage with great success as a one-man cabaret. Kübler was also active in drawing and literary work. On over 2,000 pages, Kübler described autobiographical events in his Öppi novels.
