Adolf Glassbrenner (1810–1876)
Glassbrenner, Adolf (gläs’bren-er). A German humorist; born in Berlin, March 27, 1810; died there, Sept. 25, 1876. ‘Berlin as it Is and—Drinks,’ with ‘Lively Berlin,’ published under the pseudonym “Adolf Brennglas,” brought him popularity, which ‘Life and Conduct in the Exclusive World’ and ‘Berlin Folk Life’ increased; while ‘The New Reineke Fuchs’ and ‘Forbidden Songs’ displayed his versatility. He produced stories for children, and comedies of exquisite drollery. He was a leader in the popular agitation of 1848.
