Live and act

Together with his sister Clara von Studnitz, he founded the illustrated magazine Für's Haus in Berlin in 1882 . Practical weekly paper for all housewives . The single issue cost 10 pfennigs and was published weekly. As early as 1889, a circulation of 100,000 was achieved. The magazine mainly reported on fashion, sewing, cooking (rubric for the kitchen, e.g. Bohemian , vegetarian , hamburgers , Silesian kitchen slips), working life of women, news about women's clubs, articles on topics that could be of interest to family life, travel (e.g. seaside resorts, Merano), included serial novels, a prize puzzle, telephone (questions and answers to the readership) and 4 pages of advertisements (e.g. chocolate, clothing, ovens, coffee, washing machine Thuringia, Mondamin etc.). Furthermore, because of the great popularity, over 40 side issues were founded. The local papers named themselves after their focus, e.g. B. "Cologne housewife" or "Danzig housewife". In addition, there were regional editions such as Bavarian, North German, East German, and South German. Clara von Studnitz was the editor of the magazine Für's Haus for over two decades . The main target group were female readers, but men also read the magazine. There was also a supplement for children, Für's kleine Volk , where the daughter Irmgard von Studnitz was the editor. Für's Haus was one of the most successful papers in this magazine segment and thus, along with other magazines, the forerunner of today's women's magazines. In the same segment there was also the Deutsche Hausfrauen-Zeitung by Lina Morgenstern , Deutsche Frauenblätter by Anny Wothe and Die Frau von Helene Lange .

In addition, Studnitz published works and essays on the topics of fineness legislation for gold and silver , industrialization, North American labor relations and inland shipping. In 1879 he reported on the wage conditions of German maids in America, who had a higher income there than in Germany. The servants should also have a more equal position compared to Germany. He also took part in the call for the establishment of the Federation of Industrialists (BdI) of September 1895 and, with his newspaper der Deutsche Warte, played a major role in the preparation and establishment of the BdI on November 7, 1895. In 1895/96 he was a board member and secretary as well as member of the following BdI commissions: Commission for the establishment of an industrial arbitration tribunal ; Committee for the establishment of a Reich trade office and committee for the establishment of a Commercial-Technical Reich Authority (GTR). In 1919 the Federation of Industrialists merged with the CDI to form the RDI , which is a forerunner of today's Federation of German Industries (BDI).

Studnitz was a knight of honor and a legal knight of the Order of St. John .
