Wilhelm Auspitzer
Ignaz Wilhelm Auspitzer (born June 17, 1867 in Brno , † 1931 in Berlin ) was an Austrian editor and screenwriter.
Life
Auspitzer, a brother of the writer and editor Johann Auspitzer (1857–1925), studied medicine for two semesters, but broke off. Auspitzer initially worked as an actor for four years and eventually became a journalist for various Viennese newspapers, including the Wiener Tagblatt and the Neue Wiener Journal . Together with Johann Auspitzer, he ran the Deutsche Zeitung Wien in 1893 , but had to sell it in 1894. Under the new anti-Semitic owner, all of the newspaper's Jewish editors, including the Auspitzer brothers, were dismissed. Auspitzer converted to Catholicism in 1896.
In 1902 Auspitzer moved to Berlin, worked as a correspondent for the British Daily Express and from 1904 to 1912 was a correspondent for the newspapers published by Ullstein in Vienna. From October 1904 to 1909/10 Auspitzer was editor-in-chief of BZ am Mittag and then worked as editor-in-chief of the Breslauer Morgenzeitung (until 1917) and the 8 o'clock evening paper (until 1919/20).
Auspitzer came to film in 1920 and became press chief of May-Film. For this production company and among others the Maxim-Film, the Karol-Film and the Rex-Film he also wrote film scripts. Auspitzer died in 1931 after a long illness.
