Bernhard Cohn (doctor, 1841)

Bernhard Cohn , also Bernhard Dov Cohn , previously Rachmiel (born on October 15, 1841 in Janowitz ; died on September 18, 1901 in Charlottenburg ), was a German doctor and Zionist .

Life

Cohn studied at the University of Breslau and the University of Berlin . He was later a general practitioner and from 1880 head of the Steglitz Kehillah in the Steglitz synagogue , Düppelstrasse , and co-founder of the first Zionist local group in Berlin . As a result of a likely anti-Semitic smear campaign against himself, which had given the impetus to give up his medical practice , he published the warning letter Before the storm in 1896 . The entire family has been part of Theodor Herzl's supporters at least since this campaign .

His marriage to his wife Caecilie, née Sabersky (1854–1935), who came from Zossen , had a total of seven children, including the rabbi and author Emil Bernhard Cohn and the architect Lotte Cohn .

After his death at the end of December 1901, Herzl personally gave him an obituary at the 5th Zionist Congress in Basel .
