Life

Geißler attended the Freiherrlich von Fletcher seminar in Dresden and then studied pedagogy at the University of Leipzig . But he broke off this course before the state examination and completed an apprenticeship as a bookseller, which he successfully completed in 1891. He then got a job in Frankfurt am Main as an editor at the Frankfurter Generalanzeiger .

In 1899 he moved to Dresden in the same position . There he married Mathilde Lauterbach and it was there that his son, Horst Wolfram Geißler, was born. After his initial success as a writer, Geissler settled in Weimar with his family .

After the First World War , Geissler went back to Dresden and from there later to Capri. He died there on February 26, 1945, eight weeks before his 77th birthday.

Already in 1907 he published the novel Islands in the Wind . He was best known for his novel The Heidekönig from 1919.
