Wolfgang Schumann (1887-1964)

Wolfgang Schumann (22 August 1887, Dresden, - 22 April 1964, Freital) was a German writer and journalist.

Wolfgang was the son of Paul Schumann and the stepson of Ferdinand Avenarius. Both of these father figures had played a role in setting up the Dürerbund, a leading cultural organisation in Germany. His grandfather, Rudolf Doehn was a veteran Forty-Eighter who had fought in the American Civil War.

Schumann worked closely with Otto Neurath at the Deutsches Kriegswirtschaftsmuseum (German Museum of War Economy) in Leipzig and went with him to Bavaria, when Neurath was appointed President of the Central Economic Administration for the Bavarian Soviet Republic.[1]
