Carl Hauptmann

Carl Hauptmann (born February 1, 1853 in Düren , † September 11, 1933 in Bonn ) was a German publisher and writer.

Live and act

Hauptmann was a son of the publisher and center politician Peter Hauptmann (1825–1895) and his wife Felicie nee Rüttgers (also Felicitas ; 1826–1874) and a brother of the law professor and local history researcher Felix Hauptmann . In 1888, Carl joined his father's company (founded in 1871), which among other things published the Catholic German Reichszeitung . In 1889, Hauptmann received from Hermann Neusser, the publisher of the Bonner Zeitung , which in terms of church politics was contrary to the latter nationally liberal oriented newspaper , half of the shares less than one offered in the General-Anzeiger , which was newly founded that year and was intended as a politically neutral local newspaper with an advertising section ; In 1891 Hauptmann withdrew from the General-Anzeiger due to differences over the newspaper content and brought out the "Bonner Stadtanzeiger" as a counter-foundation, which he merged with the Bonner Volkszeitung in 1894 and this in turn with the Deutsche Reichszeitung in 1906. After the death of his father, Hauptmann took over the publishing house completely, whereby the Deutsche Reichszeitung had already lost its national importance by this time. In 1909 or 1911 Hauptmann founded the "Rhenania-Verlag" (lost in the global economic crisis ). He was also active as a portrait and landscape painter and as a writer; so he published - under the pseudonym Lucien de Ridder - a few novels and dealt with historical topics, including the work of the Roman geodesists on the Rhine. From 1897 to 1911 Hauptmann was a member of the central faction of the Bonn city council. After the First World War he had to give up the publishing house of the Deutsche Reichszeitung in 1919 due to its takeover by the Center Party and around 1921 withdrew from the management of the company, which still had a newspaper and offset printing company, in favor of his family members; In 1927/28 the Rhenania publishing house was sold. In 1933 he died in the hospital of the Barmherzigen Brüder in Bonn.

Family and House In
1898/99, Hauptmann had a house built in the Südstadt ( Kronprinzenstrasse 7 ) according to plans by the Bonn architect Max Cronenberg . Hauptmann had two sons, Carl and Eugen: From 1919 Carl was editor of the Cologne-based magazine Rheinische Volksstimme , which campaigned for the Rhenish Republic ; Eugen emigrated to the USA around 1926, initially to New York .
