family

Ludwig Aub was a grandson of Hirsch Aub , who held the post of rabbi in Munich from 1828 until his retirement in 1871. One of his sons was the Munich lawyer and notary Dr. jur. Max Aub (1828–1901), married to Magdalena Johanna, née Marx (1841–1891) since 1860, and settled in Munich since 1869. He was appointed to the judiciary and held the office of president of the Jewish community in Munich from 1874 to 1878. He belonged to the reform movement and was partly responsible for liberalization, which led to the secession of the conservative Ohel Jacob community. His son Ludwig grew up in Uffenheim (Middle Franconia), where his father had been transferred. From childhood he suffered from night blindness ; later one eye was surgically removed.

education

After elementary school, from 1872 onwards, Aub attended the Latin school of the Maximiliansgymnasium in Munich from the 1st class , from which he left the 1st grammar school class on December 7, 1877 after his father asked to leave. He continued his school education in Kempten (Allgäu) . He worked for FA Brockhaus in Leipzig for a long time and then in the Wallishauser bookstore in Vienna.

activity

In Munich, Ludwig Aub was initially a partner in a bookshop on Promenadeplatz; In 1891 he took over the J. Hiller antiquarian bookstore. In 1888 he founded the writers' association Literary Society Orion , of which he was president and, for its publication, Münchener Kindl. A literary almanac (1890) among others the poet Martin Greif and the dialect poet Anny Schaefer (d. I. Anna Maria Stumm, born November 13, 1859 in Diez; † May 30, 1952 in Munich) contributed poems. He soon gave up the bookstore and worked as a writer and publisher. He wrote and published poems in Bavarian dialect , aphorisms and epigrams as well as numerous newspaper and magazine articles, some under the pseudonym Alexander Berg , and finally appeared as a grapho psychologist , clairvoyant and soul researcher . In 1892 he moved to Nuremberg and headed the workers' advanced training school there for a few years . In 1894 he married the Catholic hairdresser's daughter Mathilde Barbara Müller from Würzburg, probably the reason to leave the Jewish community; she died in 1911. In 1905 he took on a position as a teacher for the free religious community in Schwabach for ten years and in Fürth for five years. Around 1917 he was second married to Elisabeth Jehne, the daughter of a Prussian major and a talented graphologist. Around 1919 he moved to Munich again. According to his own statements, he specialized in "practical psychology, psychography, character research according to the laws of science in connection with intuitive empathy" and was made an honorary member of the Society for Character Research. His grave is preserved in the old Israelite cemetery in Munich.
