Paul Aurich

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm Paul Aurich (born May 7, 1886 in Berlin , † probably 1918 ) was a German writer.

Life

He was the son of the Prussian ministerial official Christian Aurich († May 17, 1906) and his wife Leokadia nee Klein. After attending various schools in Berlin, Paul Aurich took part in World War I from early 1915 to December 1918 and then worked as a freelance writer in his hometown of Berlin. He specialized in new, war and homeland history, and also published on German cultural history and genealogy. For example, he worked on the final 53rd supplementary volume of the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie, published in 1907, and wrote articles for daily newspapers and magazines. He was also a collaborator on Volume 4 of the manual for the army and navy founded by Lieutenant General Georg von Alten in 1912 .

Although Paul Aurich was still in Degener's Wer ist's? was recorded as a living person, no publications by Paul Aurich after the end of the First World War are known. On the official field post officer loss list No. 18/1918 a Wilhelm, Paul, Aurich; Hptm. D. Li. A. D. listed. It cannot be ruled out that the missing person is the writer Paul Aurich.
