Life

Max Friedländer attended grammar school in Schulpforta , then at the same time devoted himself to legal studies at the universities of Berlin , Wroclaw and Heidelberg with his cousin Ferdinand Lassalle , and after completing them was employed as an assessor at the Wroclaw City Court. Together with Lassalle he was a member (joined in 1847) of the Old Breslau fraternity . His book on intellectual property, published soon afterwards: The Foreign and Domestic Legal Protection Against Reprinting and Replication (Leipzig 1857), caused a sensation in legal circles. As a publicist he first appeared in 1856 with articles for the Viennese press , soon afterwards he moved to Vienna and joined the editorial team of the newspaper mentioned.

His economics essays met with great success; in particular his essays on the political tendency trial against Richter, the director of the credit institution, which he wrote under the most oppressive press conditions, drew general attention to him. After the Italian war he led a successful journalistic campaign for the introduction of a constitutional constitution and against Schmerling's pseudo-liberalism. With Michael Etienne and Adolf Werthner he founded the Neue Freie Presse in September 1864 and remained united with them until his death at the head of the big paper. Among other things, he was responsible for the business section of the Neue Freie Presse . Max Friedländer was also one of the co-founders of the well-known Ronacher establishment in Vienna .

Max Friedländer died in Nice on April 20, 1872.
