Adolph Kohut

In one case the prosecutor demanded for him six weeks imprisonment because of offence against § 7, 18 and 19 of the "Gesetz über die Presse".

[9] On September 13, 1884, he was expelled from Prussia as an "unpopular foreigner," [10] after he allegedly attacked Bismarck in an article.

[11] In reality, he had been expelled from Berlin at the instigation of the anti-Semite Adolf Stöcker, who had worked for it with the minister Robert von Puttkamer.

By a letter of 21 December 1889 from the Prussian Legation Council in Saxony of Count August von Dönhoff Kohut was allowed to return to Berlin.

[12][13] Already sick since 1915,[14] Kohut died in the night of 21 to 22 November 1917 in his Berlin apartment Courbiérestraße 7 at age 69.

There was no obituary in the General Zeitung des Judentums [de] and also the Gemeindebote (Berlin) did not mention him on the occasion of his death.

Kohut did not only have conservative,[15] liberal[16] or anti-Semitic[17] German contemporaries, but also (quote: "Some of the personalities were treated as object directly or through their friends to the fact that they were and are Jews, or are descended from Israelites".

As an avowed Jew he published numerous writings on Jewish personalities, the ritual murder legend[19] and more.
