Maximilian Rott

Maximilian Rott (born July 19, 1903 in Heilbronn am Neckar, † April 15, 1957 in Munich ; actually Hermann (Eugen) Schneider ) was a German businessman and writer .

Maximilian Rott was the son of Kommerzienrat Victor Schneider and earned his living as a businessman (managing director in the textile house M. Schneider , Munich) and cinema owner ( movie theater at Stachus ) and later settled down as a freelance writer. In his third marriage he was married to a later famous and successful creator of trivial literature.

In addition to short stories for household use ( Die Leberknödelsuppe ) and the Bavarian radio , Rott also wrote several novels. Since he was rejected by all established publishers, he published his novels at his own expense. He lost his entire fortune in the process, since none of his books were a success, and died at the age of less than 54 years completely penniless in Munich by suicide.
