Gustav Meyrink
Gustav Meyrink (Meyer), geboren am 19. Januar 1868 in Wien; gestorben am 4. Dezember 1932 in Starnberg. Erzähler, Dramatiker, Übersetzer. 1889-1902 Bankier in Prag. 1902 erleidet er zu Unrecht wegen Verdachts der Geldunterschlagung drei Monate Gefängnis. Er kann sich strafprozessual rehabilitieren, sein geschäftlicher und sozialer Leumund sind freilich zerrüttet. Meyrink begibt sich nach Wien, arbeitet temporär als Redakteur der satirischen Zeitschrift »Der liebe Augustin«. 1906 zieht er nach München, 1911 nach Starnberg. Seine Hauptwerke sind zugleich Klassiker der phantastischen Literatur: »Der Golem«, »Das grüne Gesicht«, »Walpurgisnacht« und »Der weiße Dominikaner«.
