Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Only specialists would know that he was also a very prolific writer, indeed an intellectual of some standing and some influence.2 Almost throughout his life, beginning in early adulthood, Walther Rathenau was in the habit of cultivating an ever-growing circle of friends and correspondents. Since the late 1890s, he moved in the intellectual circles of Berlin, part of the illustrious urban elite of the Prussian capital, including the rich, the powerful, and the bright, the upper crust of a prosperous metropolis. [...]neither the elite of Berlin nor that of Vienna included too many university men or medical doctors.
