About the author
Born in Teplitz-Schönau on January 19, 1861, and later dying in Berlin on July 18, 1932, Max Bauer was a German publicist and journalist. He worked as an editor at the Berliner Tageblatt and became especially known for writing and editing books on cultural and moral history.
His work often explored the social fabric of earlier centuries: customs, student life, crime, sexuality, and the changing place of women in German history. Several of these books were reissued over many years, suggesting that he found a lasting audience beyond the newspaper world.
Some sources also note that he published under the pseudonyms M. Dammann and M. B. von Teplitz. A clear portrait image could not be confirmed from the sources reviewed, so no profile image is included here.
