Sigmund Kolisch

Sigmund Kolisch (born September 21, 1816 in Koryčany , Moravia, † December 27, 1886 in Göding ) was an Austrian poet, journalist and historian. He worked for various revolutionary-minded newspapers.

Live and act

Sigmund Kolisch studied Classical Philology, History and Philosophy at the University of Vienna. After a brief stay in Italy in 1847, he took part in the March Revolution of 1848 . He was one of the employees of the revolutionary newspaper Der Radikal , the most widely read newspaper in Vienna at the time, and also worked with Hermann Jellinek , a journalist for the Österreichische Allgemeine Zeitung who was very critical of the Habsburg dynasty .

In view of the restoration and reprisals by the imperial troops, he had to leave Austria in 1848 to seek refuge in Germany (Leipzig and Weimar), then in France and Spain. His colleague Hermann Jellinek was captured and executed by the imperial troops.

In Paris he worked for Charles Havas, who founded the Havas agency in 1835. He did not return to Vienna until 1868. From Paris he also worked for the editorial team of the “Gartenlaube”.
