Otto von Leixner

Otto Leixner von Grünberg , also Otto von Leixner , born as Otto Leixner (born April 24, 1847 in Saar Castle , Moravia; † April 12, 1907 in Groß-Lichterfelde ) was an Austro-German writer , literary critic , journalist and historian.

Life

Grünberg's predicate is derived from the Grünberg pilgrimage church in his birthplace, Schloss Saar.

Leixner studied aesthetics and literary history in Graz and Munich , was also active as a journalist in the latter location and gave lectures on Spanish literature. In 1874 he went to Berlin, where he was for a time co-editor of Paul Lindau's literary magazine Die Gegenwart , and then devoted himself entirely to his literary work. Since 1883 he also edited the German Roman newspaper published by Otto Janke .

In 1894, in the series of articles on the question of women in Germany , Leixner commented on political striving and the false educational concept of women rights activists and their alleged increasing patriotism in the daily newspaper Daily Rundschau . The Prussian noblewoman Ida von Kortzfleisch countered in the Rundschau with the contribution The female service in the economic women's college. This controversy led to the foundation of the Reifensteiner Schools , an important milestone in women's education in Germany.
