Fritz Bley

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fritz Bley (born July 23, 1853 in Quedlinburg , † October 2, 1931 in Berlin ) was a German writer .

Life

After studying in Leipzig , he worked as an editor at the Thorner Zeitung and the Westfälische Zeitung . He traveled extensively through Europe and North and South America and then moved to the editorial office of the Kölnische Zeitung .

In 1885 he became general secretary of the Society for Colonization and editor-in-chief of Colonial Political Correspondence . Together with Carl Peters , he went to East Africa in 1887, founded the Usungula station and managed it until his return to Germany in 1889.

In 1895, Bley was one of the pioneers of football in Germany, alongside Willibald Gebhardt and Carl Peters, co-founder of the German Association for Sports, Games and Gymnastics . In 1897 he took over the chief editor of the Ostpreußische Zeitung . From 1899 he lived in Berlin and became a member of the Masovia Hunting Corps in Berlin in the WJSC .

From 1905 he published the magazine Zeitfragen . In addition to his journalistic activities, he wrote numerous hunting stories and monographs on huntable animals, as well as articles on colonial history, novels and stories. As a member of the Pan-German Association , the Werdandibund (1907, with a German-national program), the German Wehrverein (1912), the Prussian League (from 1918) and in the Association against the Overcome of Judaism , he represented nationalist positions; on the other hand, his name was ostracized in 1933 on the list of harmful and undesirable literature , possibly due to confusion with the writer Franz Blei . On the other hand, it is more likely that the "animal and hunting stories" were explicitly mentioned on the list, as these, in contrast to the rest of his work, were excluded from the burning. Because he was particularly committed to regulations for the protection of wild moose , he was also referred to as the elk father.

His final resting place is in the south-west cemetery Stahnsdorf .

His son Wulf Bley and his grandson Wulf E. Bley (* 1946) also appeared as writers.
