Biography
Kurt Tucholsky, born in Berlin on January 9, 1890, studied law in Berlin and Geneva before receiving his PhD in 1915 from Jena. Since 1913, he was a member of the 'Schaubühne' and subsequently the 'Weltbühne' staff, and following Siegfried Jacobsohn's death, he served as interim editor. Since 1929, Kurt Tucholsky resided in Sweden, where he died on 21 December 1935 in Hindas. § Tucholsky was one of the most influential and biting social critics and satirists of the Weimar Republic, a pessimistic enlightener whose clear-eyed and frequently entertaining criticism pursued the goal of a democratic and humane society and warned of the dangers of anti-democratic violence from an early stage. From the gloss to the reporting to the cabaret song and the little book, he is regarded as a master of small text forms. Beginning in 1932, in despair at the political climate, Tucholsky no longer publishes a single sentence; he marks his letters "a stopped German" and "a stopped writer."
