Leopold Mandl (journalist, 1860)
Leopold Mandl (also Mandel ; pseudonym: Athanagild ; born September 18, 1860 in Vienna ; † September 15, 1930 ibid) was an Austrian journalist and editor .
His parents from Budapest, Adolf Mandl (1823–1912) and Julie Köllner (1833–1890) ran a textile factory, in which Leopold worked briefly.
Together with a chief forester, he introduced gymnastics in the Giant Mountains, was a board member of the German Gymnastics Club and deputy spokesman for the Aupa-Elbe-Turngau. In the Trautenauer Wochenblatt he reported on “The German Bohemians at the fifth district gymnastics festival in Krems” (August 1887), to which Franz Xaver Kießling allegedly refused to allow Jewish applicants.
In 1890 he converted from the Mosaic to the Roman Catholic faith and married Ida Nentwich (1871-1916) the following year. From 1892 to 1909 he studied in Vienna and became Dr. jur.
Mandl turned to political writing and was involved in the German cause in Bohemia, where he was badly mistreated in the Königinhof excesses . At first he worked for various Viennese newspapers and was later also a correspondent for the Vossische Zeitung in Berlin.
He gained deep insights into Serbian conditions and was considered one of the best experts on the Balkans.
