Career

Tessloff was born in Hamburg-Allermöhe in 1888 , where his parents ran a bakery.

After the National Socialists came to power and the SPD was banned in 1933, Ernst Tessloff lost this job. Together with his brother, he then took over his parents' bakery in Allermöhe. From there he organized the social democratic resistance against National Socialism in Harburg . Between 1936 and 1940 he was therefore imprisoned for “preparation for high treason” for a total of three and a half years, first in prison and then in the Fuhlsbüttel concentration camp .

After the end of World War II, Tessloff made as a publisher independently and founded in 1947 the Ernst-Tessloff-Verlag . He put the main focus of the publisher on Scandinavian literature. In 1952 the publisher became insolvent.

After the re-establishment of the SPD and the first state election, Ernst Tessloff belonged to the Hamburg citizenship from 1946 and was re-elected in 1949 before resigning as a member of parliament in 1953.

His son Ragnar Tessloff also became a publisher and later founded the Tessloff Verlag .
