Biography
[edit | edit source]Lehmann was born on 28 November 1864, in Zürich. In Zürich he first went to the private school Beust'sche Privatschule and then to the gymnasium.
In 1900, Lehmann left Switzerland and moved to Germany, where he bought the medical journal "Münchener Medizinische Wochenschrift" (i.e. "Munich Medical Weekly Magazine"), which he soon managed to make the most widely circulated journal of its kind in Germany. Many of the articles dealt with subjects that were to shape national-socialist ideology, like compulsory sterilization.[2]
Lehmann became a member of the Fatherland Party in 1917. He also became a member of the Thule Society.[3][4] He established the Deutsche Volksverlag, which he handed over to Ernst Boepple.
Lehmann also published the journal Deutschlands Erneuerung (Germany's Renewal), which was edited by the Pan-German League. Lehmann's publishing house was an important connection between the German Nationalist Protection and Defiance Federation, the Marinebrigade Ehrhardt, then the Organisation Consul and the German National People's Party.[5]
In 1923, Lehmann took part in the Beer Hall Putsch. He joined the Militant League for German Culture in 1928, and became a member of the NSDAP in 1931.
In 1934, at his 70th birthday, he received many honors, including the Eagle Shield of the German Reich.
He died on 24 March 1935 in Munich.
