Emil Luckhardt
Emil Konrad Luckhardt (* 1880 in Barmen ; † November 5, 1914 in Flanders ) was a German beer brewer and trade union secretary. He translated Die Internationale , the world's best-known battle song of the labor movement (also the hymn of the Soviet Union 1922–1944) into German in 1910. The original text of the translation is in the Engels House in Wuppertal . The original French text consists of six stanzas. Emil Luckhardt's version is only based on the French original text and is limited to the analogous translation of the first three stanzas of the French song, somewhat weakened in its radicalism and romanticized.
Life
Luckhardt was born in Barmen in 1880 as the son of a worker. After a rudimentary high school education, he later became a trade unionist. It fell on November 5, 1914, when it was buried in an artillery attack in Flanders.
