from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann August Mori (t) z Brühl (born July 24, 1819 in Düsseldorf , † January 13, 1877 in Vienna ) was a German journalist, writer and translator.

Life

Brühl was the son of Koppel (Carl) Brühl and Johanne Buchsbaum, the father of the painter Marie Jensen (1845–1921), father-in-law of the writer Wilhelm Jensen (1837–1911), and great-great-grandfather of the writer Hans Heyck (1891–1921) 1972). As a boy, Brühl moved with his mother from Düsseldorf to his grandparents in Frankfurt / Main, where he attended the philanthropist and grammar school. He studied in Heidelberg, Bonn and in England (Dr. phil.) And published his first literary works. In 1841 he founded the “Mannheimer Abendzeitung”, but only worked on this newspaper for a short time and then devoted himself to studying German and foreign literature for several years. During this time he had to endure severe religious battles, which he recorded in “Confessions of a Catechumene”, 1844. In 1844 Brühl converted to Catholicism in Schwäbisch-Gmünd and married Maria Theresia Mayer (1821–1871) from Cologne. The couple lived in Würzburg, where their four children were born, from 1854 to 1860 in Münster / Westphalia (“Westfälischer Merkur”, “Civilta Cattolica”), and from 1860 in Vienna (“Wiener Vaterland”. “Wiener Correspondenz”) . After the death of his first wife, Brühl married Rosalia Singer (1837–) from Vienna in June 1872.
