Heinrich Glücksmann

Heinrich Glücksmann (7 July 1864 – June 1947) was a Moravian-born Austrian author.

He began his literary career at 16, one of his first productions being "Aufsätze über Frauensitten und Unsitten", which appeared in the "Wiener Hausfrauen-Zeitung" under the pseudonym "Henriette Namskilg" (Other pseudonym is "Fortunatus"). He then became a teacher in the Vienna School of Acting. From 1882 to 1885 he was editor of the "Fünfkirchner Zeitung" (of Pécs), and from 1884 to 1886 held similar positions with the "Neue Pester Journal" and the "Polit'sche Volksblatt" of Budapest.

In 1886 Glücksmann published an illustrated biographical edition of the works of Michael von Zichy, the painter; and in the same year he published a biography of Munkàcsy. Since that time he had been active as a feuilletonist and dramatist.

His bequest is stored in the Theatermuseum in Vienna.
