Life

Tomb of the brother Julius Schottländer and his wife

Salo Schottländer was the second son of the businessman Löbel (Johann Leib) Schottländer (1809–1880), who was one of the richest landowners in Silesia , and his wife Henriette, nee. Grossmann. His older brother Julius (1835-1911) founded the Schottländer Foundation together with his wife Anna (1845-1911). In addition to Julius Schottländer, Salo had a second brother and seven sisters.

Salo Schottländer founded in 1876 in Breslau the publisher "S. Scottish ". In 1889 the publishing house changed to the legal form of a stock corporation , the board of which was Schottländer from 1893, and was given the name "Schlesische Buchdruckerei". Apparently there was also a Schottländer publishing house that merged with the Berlin publishing company "Harmonie" in 1906 and was then managed as a GmbH by their owners Alexander Jadassohn and Ludwig Friedman. In addition to his work as a publisher, Schottländer was head of office in Benkwitz and Greek consul in the province of Silesia ; he also owned the estates of Benkwitz, Klein Sägewitz and Radwanitz , located southeast of Breslau .

Schottländer mainly published novels and short stories, including Theodor Fontane 's L'Adultera , the first book edition of which he published in 1882, but also scientific works and, from 1882, the German Library . Furthermore, Schottländer published magazines, including the monthly Revue Nord und Süd , edited by Paul Lindau , and Unterwegs und zuheim . At the turn of the century, the Silesian Book Printing Company employed around 200 people and owned 15 book and 17 lithographic presses.

Salo Schottländer's son Leo Schottländer (1880–1959) became theater director and composer. Graves of members of the Schottländer family can be found in the Old Jewish Cemetery in Ulica Ślężna, the former Lohestrasse, in Wroclaw.
