Friedrich Adolph Audemar Kritzinger (born November 16, 1726 in Leipzig , † July 13, 1793 there ) was a Leipzig author , bookseller , publisher and antiquarian .

Act

Kritzinger published exclusively anonymously or under pseudonyms such as Wilhelm Tissot , JDT de Bienvielle , MW Danneil or Hans guck in die Welt with partially fictitious places of publication . He is considered the author and publisher of a series of mostly satirical and partly erotic - frivolous genre sketches. He had a very dubious reputation well into the 20th century, the Germanist Georg Witkowski described Kritzinger's writings in 1909 as "swamp literature of little pasquilles and pamphlets " and the author himself as "speculative bookseller and literary swindler". Above all, the works about his hometown Leipzig and its suburbs, in particular the “Walks to ...”, are today important sources on the social life of the 18th century around the trade fair city.

Kritzinger's Die Geschichte der Stadt Leipzig and Die Kafeekanne, a coffee conversation between Mr Studio and Madame Savante from Kafee, are nowadays regarded as serious standard works on the history of Leipzig up to that time and on the cultural history of coffee . The first book deals with the history of Leipzig in a somewhat unsorted manner up to the year the book was published, while the second title, in the form of a dialogue, describes the history of coffee in an instructive, clear and detailed manner.

Some titles with especially serious-medical background under the pseudonym William Tissot (following the Swiss physician Samuel-Auguste Tissot , who was known in the 18th century for his writings in which he compared the masturbation taught) are not necessarily complete Credit Kritzinger. Adolf Callisen suspects in his main work Medicinisches Writer-Lexicon of the now living physicians, surgeons, obstetricians, pharmacists and naturalists of all educated nations that several people used the pseudonym Wilhelm Tissot for their publications.
