About the author
Born in Freiburg im Breisgau on May 26, 1889, Friedrich Eisenlohr became known as a German writer and journalist. Reference sources agree that he died in East Berlin on October 18, 1954.
His bibliography shows a wide range of interests. Early on, he was involved in Kriminal-Sonette (1913), and later he published Carl Sternheim; der Dramatiker und seine Zeit (1927), a study of the playwright Carl Sternheim. Catalog and library records also connect him with later prose works, including Bomber über Warschau.
The available biographical material is fairly brief, but it suggests a career that moved between journalism, literary criticism, poetry, and fiction. That mix makes him an interesting figure for listeners who enjoy rediscovering lesser-known German authors from the first half of the twentieth century.
