Life

Gustav Christian Rassy was born on August 19, 1896 in Kiel. He was editor-in-chief of the Berlin magazine Der Bühnenvolksbund - Reichsblätter des BVB.

Rassy was criticized for his book about Walter von Molo in the National Socialist monthly books , in which Molo is referred to as a "somewhat controversial representative of the literature", but who had "no handicap to complain about".

When the "Gautheater Saarpfalz" - today the Saarland State Theater - opened in 1938 and was sometimes referred to as a "bulwark", Rassy, ​​like Carl Niessen, was one of the more conciliatory voices and recalled episodes with French prisoners in the First World War that became one real cultural exchange.

Rassy's novella "Cantor and King" about Johann Sebastian Bach and Frederick the Great was positively discussed in the music magazine "Die Musik" and appeared in over a hundred thousand copies. During the Second World War , the book was one of the works that were produced in large numbers for the Wehrmacht .
