Richard Linsert

Richard Christian Carl Linsert (17 November 1899 – 3 February 1933) was a German sexologist, psychologist and activist.

In Munich he met and befriended Kurt Hiller, who gave him a job as an assistant secretary in Magnus Hirschfeld's Scientific-Humanitarian Committee (WhK).

[4] In December 1929, Linsert left the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee and founded the Archive for Sexual Science with the doctors Max Hodann, Bernd Götz and the lawyer Fritz Flato, but it hardly achieved any great importance.

Peter Limann, the second secretary of the Scientific and Humanitarian Committee, was considered his life partner.

[5] Linsert died in February 1933 of delayed pneumonia in the Stubenrauch Hospital in Berlin-Lichterfelde
