Paul Grabein

Paul Grabein (born May 28, 1869 in Posen , † November 4, 1945 in Berlin ) was a German journalist , writer and civil servant .

Life

Paul Grabein was the son of a city official. He grew up in Berlin, where he attended the Falk Realgymnasium . From 1887 he studied philosophy and modern philology at the universities in Berlin and Jena . In 1893 he received his doctorate from the University of Halle with a literary dissertation for a doctorate in philosophy. Since he was unable to do the lecturing activity he wanted for health reasons, he switched to work as a journalist. After initially working for Berlin newspapers, from 1895 he was part of the editorial team of the Lower Silesian Tageblatt in Grünberg . From 1897 he was editor-in-chief of the Nord-Ostsee-Zeitung in Kiel, from 1898 a member of the editorial team of the Berliner Nationalzeitung and from 1900 to 1904 the editorial team of the family magazine Daheim . Extensive trips took him to various German regions and other European countries. In 1907 he became a member of the Berlin Masonic Lodge Zum Widder . From 1909 Grabein lived as a freelance writer in Grafenberg (Düsseldorf) .

At the beginning of the First World War , he registered as a volunteer , but returned home in 1915 due to illness. From 1915 Grabein worked as a syndic of shipping companies in Bremen and Hamburg. It is unclear whether he also studied law . A job as in-house counsel actually requires a law degree and admission as a lawyer ; however, the biographical reference works by Wilhelm Kosch and Franz Brümmer and the Who is who? agreed that Grabein studied philosophy and philology, not law. From 1921 he was advisor for shipping matters in the Reich Ministry of Labor . Most recently he was a ministerial advisor . From 1936 to 1945 he lived in Kleinmachnow near Berlin .

Grabein wrote novels, short stories and plays. After becoming a member of the Landsmannschaft Guilelmia Berlin and the Landsmannschaft Suevia Jena (later Saxo-Suevia ) as a student , many of his works played in the milieu of the student associations .
