Emil Löbl (February 5, 1863, in Vienna – August 26, 1942, in Vienna) was an Austrian writer and journalist.
Born into a Jewish family, Löbl was the son of Isak Löbl (Herzl) and Rosalie Löbl (Neumann). [1]
Like his older brother Leopold (1844-1907), [2] he studied law at the University of Vienna and received his Dr. jur. degree in 1891. During his studies he was active as a journalist in the Reichsrätlichen Stenografenbüro from 1882. [3] From 1893 to 1898 he served in the k.k. Council of Ministers, and from 1895 as Ministerial Vice-Secretary.
He was deputy editor-in-chief at the Wiener Zeitung and from 1909 editor-in-chief. In 1917 Löbl became editor-in-chief of the NWT ( Neues Wiener Tagblatt), whose circulation he was able to increase substantially. In March 1938, as Austria prepared to merge with Nazi Germany in the Anschluss, he was fired. [3] [4]
Löbl was married to Gisela Gisa Basseches (June 10, 1870-1942). She was deported to the Treblinka concentration camp and murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust. [5]
Löbl died on August 26, 1942, at the Rothschild Hospital in Vienna, [4] which, under the Nazis, was the only hospital for Jews in Vienna. [6]
