Josef Schrattenholz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Josef Schrattenholz (also: Joseph Schrattenholz ; born October 19, 1847 in Hoholz near Bonn ; † May 22, 1909 in Berlin ) was a music writer who spoke out against anti-Semitism .

Life

His parents were the "private tutor" Wilhelm Schrattenholz (* around 1816) and his wife Maria Helena Franziska Schrattenholz geb. Carpenter (* around 1816).

Schrattenholz received private scientific and musical lessons, especially from his brother, the pianist Max Schrattenholz . From 1863 to 1868 Josef worked as a music teacher in Cologne. He then continued his studies in Berlin and Bonn, where he was editor of the Bonner Zeitung from 1870 to 1873 . He then lived in Düsseldorf and in 1874 published a collection of sayings by the composer Robert Schumann . Schrattenholz was in correspondence with important musicians of his time, such as the composer Robert Franz and the conductor Hans von Bülow . In 1891 Schrattenholz 'biography of the Düsseldorf painter Eduard Bendemann (1811–1889) was published. The Catholic Schrattenholz dealt with the increasing hostility towards Jews in the second half of the 19th century. From 1890 he published a number of books that sought to fight anti-Semitism, including the anthology Antisemiten-Hammer in 1894 , the title of which is based on the late medieval work of the witch hunt Hexenhammer by the Dominican Heinrich Kramer . The anti-Semitic hammer with a foreword by the natural scientist Jakob Moleschott brings together quotes from non-Jewish writers of world literature as well as non-Jewish contemporaries against anti-Semitism or in defense of the Jews. From 1895 Schrattenholz lived in Kessenich near Bonn and from 1898 until his death in 1909 in Berlin.
