Hugo Friedländer

Hugo Friedländer or Friedlaender (born February 21, 1847 in Bernstadt , Oels district , † January 14, 1918 in Berlin ) was a German journalist and court reporter .

Life

As a young high school student, Friedländer witnessed the funeral of Ferdinand Lassalle in Breslau . Friedländer was a delegate of the Hague Congress of the International Workers' Association in September 1872 with a mandate from the Zurich Section. He was an employee of the social democratic press.

After decades of work as a court reporter in Berlin, Friedländer published his first anthology of spectacular trials from the German Empire in 1908, which was followed by the ten-volume series of interesting criminal trials from 1910 to 1914 . He leaned on François Gayot de Pitaval , from whom the twenty-volume Causes célèbres et intéressantes came.

Under the pseudonym "F. Hugländer ”he published in Magnus Hirschfeld's yearbook for sexual intermediate stages in 1914 an essay from the homosexual life of old Berlin .

Four letters from Friedländer to the JG Cotta'sche Buchhandlung in Stuttgart, dated between February 3, 1878 and December 23, 1880, have been preserved in the German Literature Archive in Marbach am Neckar.

Individual evidence

↑ Brief death notes appeared in Das literäre Echo , Vol. 20, Issue 11, Sp. 689 (March 1, 1918), and in the Socialist Monthly Issues , May 1, 1918, p. 436 ( online ). Friedländer's age ("64th year of life", ie 63) is incorrectly stated in both sources, and the date of death ("February") in the Socialist Monthly Bulletins . In the death note in the evening edition of the Vossische Zeitung from January 14, 1918 ("After a short, severe suffering, the court reporter Hugo Friedländer, 64 years old, died") there is another incorrect age statement. In the second edition of Theodor Müller's History of the Wroclaw Social Democracy , published in 1925 (when the first edition appeared in 1915 under the title History of the Wroclaw Workers' Movement , Friedländer was still alive), Friedländer's date of death is listed on p. 95 with “4. January 1918 ”; this date is also incorrect. The correct date of death according to the death certificate, January 14th, can be found, for example, in Richard Bernstein's obituary in the messages of the Workers Press Association , XIX. Vol., No. 167 (February 1, 1918).
