Emanuel Stickelberger (born March 13, 1884 in Alassio ; † January 16, 1962 in St. Gallen ) was a Swiss entrepreneur and writer .

Life

Stickelberger, son of a bank director, attended high school in Locarno and the commercial schools in Bellinzona and Neuchâtel . In 1900 he became an employee of the Society for Chemical Industry. In 1909 he founded his own chemical plants in Basel and Haltingen , whose inventions became widely known.

From 1901 to 1907 he presided over the first Swiss ex-libris association called "Ex Libris-Club Basilea" in Basel and published the association's yearbooks. From 1926 on, Stickelberger devoted himself entirely to writing. Since 1932 he has been chairman and since 1944 honorary president of the German-Swiss PEN Club , which he co-founded , and since 1937 an honorary member of the International PEN Club. From 1943 he was President of the Swiss Bibliophile Society, of which he founded Stultifera Navis in 1944 and headed it until 1957. From 1948 he lived in Uttwil on Lake Constance and in Wolfenschiessen . He found his final resting place in the Hörnli cemetery in Basel.

In the tradition of the Swiss realists, namely by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer , he wrote primarily historical novels and short stories, as well as dramatic and lyrical works as well as historical non-fiction books.
