Johann Baptist Strobl (also: Strobel; * March 8, 1746 in Aichach ; † November 14, 1805 in Munich ) was a Bavarian publicist and publisher .

Life

Johann Baptist Strobl graduated from the Jesuit high school in Munich (today: Wilhelmsgymnasium Munich ) in 1767 .

Strobl first taught at the Straubing grammar school before he bought the Ostensche publishing bookstore in 1777. In 1795 he took over the Churbayerische Intellektivenblatt, which he used as a platform for his patriotic and educational goals. Strobl also played an important role in the development of the Munich publishing industry and its gradual emancipation from Augsburg . After trying in vain to be accepted into the Illuminati , a radical enlightening secret society , he anonymously published two anti-Illuminati polemics by Joseph Marius von Babos in 1784 , triggering a long-lasting public controversy that led to the Illuminati being banned in 1785.
