Emil Hartmeyer
(Heinrich) Emil Hartmeyer (born June 9, 1820 in Hamburg ; † February 11, 1902 there ) was a German lawyer. He became known as the owner and editor-in-chief of Hamburger Nachrichten .
Life
Hartmeyer's father and maternal grandfather owned book printing shops and were publishers. Hartmeyer studied law at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . In 1843 he was reciprocated in the Corps Vandalia Heidelberg . After completing his doctorate , he was enrolled as a lawyer in Hamburg on July 19, 1844. In addition to the law firm, he was co-editor of the weekly news ; He also joined the editorial team of his father's Hamburger Nachrichten . In December 1855, after the death of his father, he took over the newspaper and the publishing house Hermann's Erben and finally gave up his legal work. He was editor-in-chief of Hamburger Nachrichten for almost 50 years. This most important Hamburg paper received national attention when Hartmeyer made it available to Bismarck unconditionally for political agitation in 1890 after his dismissal. In doing so, he prevented the threatened journalistic isolation of Bismarck. Hartmeyer's political editor Hermann Hofmann (1850–1915) maintained constant contact with Bismarck and represented the position of the dismissed chancellor in his (agreed) articles. With Ludwig Clericus he campaigned (in vain) for a reform of the corps coat of arms .
