Theodor Wolff: Biography, Facts and Career
Who is Theodor Wolff? An evergreen, sourced profile: biography, key facts and career.
Theodor Wolff (2 August 1868 – 23 September 1943) was a German writer who was influential as a journalist, critic and newspaper editor. He was born and died in Berlin. Between 1906 and 1933 he was the chief editor of the politically liberal newspaper Berliner Tageblatt. His talent as a writer won praise from an unlikely quarter: In 1939 Joseph Goebbels recommended his Propaganda Ministry staff to study Wolff's contributions in back numbers of the newspaper that he had edited. According to Goebbels, despite him being Jewish, the quality of Wolff's writing was matched by only very few in Germany. What Goebbels did not mention was that as a younger man he had himself on at least one occasion applied to work for the newspaper in question.
