Emil Karl Blümml

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emil Karl Blümml (born October 25, 1881 in Währing near Vienna , † April 26, 1925 in Vienna) was an Austrian folk song researcher and music writer.

Life

Blümml studied history, music history and German in Tübingen , Bern and Vienna ; In 1910 he received his doctorate. His acquaintance with Gustav Gugitz sparked his interest in Viennese local history.

He became known with the collection of erotic folk songs from German-Austria that was printed in Vienna in 1906 “only for scholars” . The folk song researcher Josef Pommer sued him and tried in vain to have Blümml revoke his doctorate. While trying to board a moving tram, he had a fatal accident.
