Fritz Schotthöfer

Fritz Schotthöfer (born March 3, 1871 in Frankfurt am Main ; † October 29, 1951 there ) was a German journalist and author.

Schotthöfer, who came from a Jewish family, worked for the Frankfurter Zeitung in Paris around 1904 . During the First World War he wrote in the press department of the German governor in the general government of Belgium to get German news in the local press. After the war he toured Soviet Russia and Mussolini's Italy and published about them. He worked for the Frankfurter Zeitung at least until March 1930. His definition of fascism is quoted to this day.

An exchange of letters from Schotthöfer is stored in the Neue Merkur Collection in the Leo Baeck Institute for Jewish History in New York.
