Life

Oscar Eisengarten was the son of the post office clerk Wilhelm Eisengarten († January 20, 1866) and his wife Elisabeth Rugge. He was the great uncle of the Nazi resistance fighter and GDR writer Hasso Grabner . From around 1879, Eisengarten was a member of the Social Democratic Workers' Party in Germany and the Leipzig training association for workers . On April 5, 1882, he protested his deportation because he had been denounced by his bride's stepfather, the police officer Gebler. Nevertheless, the expulsion was pronounced again on April 25th. Then he should have moved to Schkeuditz . Between 1883 and 1884 he emigrated to London on the basis of the Socialist Law . Through the mediation of his friend Wilhelm Liebknecht , he succeeded in publishing an anonymous article on “England's industrial reserve army” in the journal “ Die Neue Zeit ”.

Eisengarten was temporarily secretary and editorial assistant to Friedrich Engels and between June 1884 and February 1885 obtained the editorial manuscript of Volume 2 of " Capital " by Karl Marx . The manuscript for the second volume, largely handwritten by Eisengarten, was used by Otto Meißner's publishing house in Hamburg as a master copy. It documents in detail the editorial work of Friedrich Engels on the work of Karl Marx after his death, which consisted of “that Engels revised the text by rearranging, correcting, deleting and expanding individual words or entire passages as well as by translating foreign language quotations . ". There are 14 letters from Eisengarten to Engels. Shortly before his death, Eisengarten translated Friedrich Lessner's memoirs .

Eisengarten was buried on May 12, 1906 in Manor Park Cemetery , London.
