Leopold von Sacher-Masoch

Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (1836-1895) was born in Lemberg, today Lviv, in Austrian Galicia. He taught at the University of Graz before giving up his post in 1870 to live by his pen. He wrote Galician tales and Jewish stories, founded an international review in Leipzig in 1881 which ruined him, and was feted and decorated in Paris in 1886. Retired to Lindheim, in Hesse, on the estate of the translator Hulda Meister, whom he later married, he founded a popular education society there and died there.
