Adolf Glassbrenner

Adolf Glassbrenner (27 March 1810, in Berlin – 25 September 1876) was a German humorist and satirist, considered part of the Young Germany Movement.

After working for a short time in a merchant's office, he turned to journalism, and in 1831 edited Beriner Don Quixote, a periodical which was suppressed in 1833 owing to its revolutionary tendencies.

In 1840 he married the actress Adele Peroni (1813–1895), and removed in the following year to Neustrelitz, where his wife had obtained an engagement at the Grand Ducal theatre.

Expelled from that country in 1850, he settled in Hamburg, where he remained until 1858; and then he became editor of the Montagszeitung Berlin, where he died in 1876.
