Life

Krauss - came from a Jewish family retailer - from 1877 to 1881 studied classical philology and history at Theodor Gomperz at the University of Vienna , where he 1882 Dr. phil. received his doctorate. One of his first publications is the translation of Artemidor of Daldis ' Oneirokritika (Greek: "Interpretation of Dreams"), to which Sigmund Freud refers in his Interpretation of Dreams (1900).

On behalf of Crown Prince Rudolf and the Anthropological Society in Vienna, Friedrich Krauss carried out a research trip to Bosnia , Herzegovina , Slovenia , Croatia and Dalmatia . During his field research from 1884 to 1885, Krauss - together with informers - collected around 200,000 verses from the Guslar songs of the Muslim Slavs . Friedrich Krauss published the unexpectedly large abundance of South Slavic folklore and folk tales in two volumes.

From 1891 to 1901 Krauss was the secretary of the Israelite Alliance in Vienna. He was editor of the Anthropophyteia . From 1914 to 1919 he taught at the war school for disabled people. He worked as a court interpreter for South Slavic languages and translated works by the authors Branislav Nušić and Svetozar Ćorović .

In 1908 Krauss supported the founding of the Zeitschrift für Sexualwissenschaft , which Magnus Hirschfeld was only able to publish for one year in the Leipzig publisher Georg H. Wigand.

Krauss coined the term paraphilia , the deviation of sexual preference. From September 16 to 23, 1930 he took part - together with a total of two thousand participants - in Vienna in the 4th Congress of the World League for Sexual Reform.
