Eduard Fischel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eduard Fischel (* 1826 in Danzig ; † July 9, 1863 in Paris ) was a German publicist and writer.

Life

Eduard Fischel studied law and from 1858 was an assessor at the city court in Berlin. At the same time active as a political writer, he caused a sensation, especially through the writing Despoten als Revolutionäre (Berlin 1859), suggested by the Duke of Coburg , which was often added to the Duke of Coburg himself and which provoked a counter- writing from Ismael in England , behind which one of the publicists was Henry John Palmerstons suspected.

By sharp polemics against the policy of Napoleon III. his writing Gallischer Judaskuß (answer to Edmond About's writing Prussia in 1860 ) stood out. In addition, Fischel shed light on Prussia's Task in Germany (Berlin 1859) and Men and Measures (Berlin, 1861) the internal conditions of Prussia and pointed to the necessity and ways of self-government. These and other pamphlets were followed by a larger work: The Constitution of England (Berlin 1862, 2nd edition 1864), which, although not entirely correct and reliable, captivates with its clear and ingenious presentation. To pursue his work, Fischel went to Paris, but was the victim of a traffic accident soon after his arrival on July 9, 1863.
