Leopold and Berta Katscher Papers
Provenance note
The Leopold and Berta Katscher Papers were initially donated to the New York Public Library and
processed as part of Series R of the Schwimmer-Lloyd Collection. In 2006 they were reprocessed
and now constitute a separate collection, while remaining administratively within the SchwimmerLloyd Collection.
Ten bound volumes were inadvertently left out of the shipment of Katscher's archives to the
Schwimmer-Lloyd Collection. In 1949 the Hungarian Government refused to let the material leave
the country, claiming that it constituted Hungarian 'national cultural property.' The volumes were sent
to the Széchenyi Library in Budapest.

Leopold and Berta Katscher Papers
Biographical / Historical note
Biographical note
Leopold Katscher
Leopold Katscher was a journalist and social reformer. He was born on August 30, 1853 in Csákova
near Temesvár (Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary), to Ignatz and Rosalie Katscher (née Engel, Ignatz
Katscher's first wife; his second wife was also called Rosalie). As a young man, Katscher attended
the commercial academies in Pest (1868-1869) and Vienna (1869-1871) and studied medicine, law,
literature, and economics in Vienna, Budapest, and London, respectively. The fact that he was in later
years addressed as “Dr. Katscher” may indicate that he held a doctorate. As a young man, he worked
as a correspondence secretary in various businesses, including in a hardware store, a credit union,
and a lumber and grain import business in Temesvár, Szegedin, and Vienna (1872-1875),
respectively. Katscher traveled extensively throughout Europe from 1875. From 1881-1884 he
resided in London, and subsequently lived in Berlin, Budapest, Baden, and in Switzerland.
Katscher began to write as a teenager and submitted his writings for publication in serials as early as
1869. Among his many pseudonyms, some of which he later shared with his wife, are Ludwig Koelle,
Ludwig Ungar, Albert Kellner, Ludmilla Koelle, Berta/Bertha Katscher, Dr. L. Tschaker, Kosmopolit,
Spectator, and Humanus. His earliest writings include poems and humorous short fiction; from 1870
on, he began to submit journalistic commentary pieces to the local press.
In his writings, Katscher progressed from literary themes to literary history and travel journalism to
sociopolitical topics. His articles were distributed through several syndicates throughout Europe. In
addition to his own writings, Katscher also translated works from English and French. He was
especially interested in England's literature, society, and industrial and technical achievements.
Katscher authored ethnographic essays, particularly on China and Japan. In later years, he largely
abandoned his literary efforts, concentrating instead on the social movements of his time, including
cosmopolitanism, pacifism, women's rights, workers' rights, postal reform, and socialism.
Katscher designed and co-founded several journals, most notably Weltstädtische
Plauderspaziergänge, which he co-owned and edited together with O. Felsing. The journal contained
gossipy articles about recent events in the European capitals. Other projects included a Hungarian
edition of Moderne Kunst, 1-Kreuzer-Abendblatt, Eigene Monatsschrift, Internationales Literaturblatt
(with M. Levin), Briefkasten-Korrespondenz, and Der Freimüthige (with Romeo Katscher). In 1887,
Leopold Katscher assumed all responsibilities and renamed the publication Hauptstädtische
Plauderspaziergänge.
Beginning in the early 1880s, Leopold Katscher criticized practices in the publishing industry that
were at odds with authors' interests. He entered into a series of oftentimes successful litigation aimed
at protecting his copyrights, collecting permission fees, and enforcing oral contracts. In 1888, he
formalized and expanded on his concerns about copyright protection by establishing and directing the
Überwachungsgesellschaft zur Nachdrucksverfolgung, whose express purpose was to trace
unauthorized reprints in the European press and take legal action against publishers on behalf of the
authors. The society received a percentage of the settlements and permission fees collected. The
proceeds in excess of costs were in turn added to a fund, also established by Leopold Katscher, to
support impoverished writers and their families, called the Lennertsfonds (after its first beneficiary, the
Lennert family).
In the mid-1880s, Bertha von Suttner sparked Leopold Katscher's interest in the international peace
movement. He had helped Suttner find a publisher for her anti-war novel Die Waffen Nieder!.
Katscher served as the executive director of the Austrian Peace Society, founded by von Suttner in
1891, and subsequently held offices in the German and Hungarian Peace Societies and the Swiss
Committee for the Preparation of the League of Nations. Beginning in the 1890s, Katscher involved
himself increasingly in social reform movements and followed socialist and communist movements
attentively. Notably, he showed great interest in the growing women's rights movement and in profitsharing, and served as the director of the European Committee for Social Reform.

Leopold and Berta Katscher Papers
Biographical / Historical note
Between 1895-1901, Katscher actively pursued opportunities to broker real estate sales and
development projects to investors, and to procure funding for a wide range of artistic projects and
technical inventions. Renowned for his international network of contacts, Katscher would be
approached by parties in need of a loan and would match them with suitable investors for a
commission. Some of the negotiations seem to have been of a dubious nature; he was rebuked on
several occasions by correspondents for unsolicited interference, for lack of discretion, and for
misrepresenting himself as a non-existent client's spokesperson.
Leopold Katscher died on February 25, 1939 in Lucerne, Switzerland.

Berta Katscher
Berta Katscher was born on June 12, 1860, in Trenčín (Slovakia) to Joseph Katscher and Therese
Blumgrund. Berta's sister Rosalie was the second wife of Leopold Katscher's father, Ignatz. Berta
Katscher grew up with an aunt; in her youth, she lived in Hungary and Turkey. Berta married her
cousin Leopold Katscher at the synagogue in Temesvár/Fabrik on May 17, 1881. The couple went to
live in London and Berlin; after 1897 they settled in Budapest where they lived until Berta's death.
Their letters to each other are written largely in English.
Berta Katscher started her literary career at her husband's urging. Initially, she wrote children's books;
later she contributed romantic and humorous fiction to magazines in Vienna and translated English
literature into German (Hardy, Buckley, and Stevenson among others). Her journalistic pieces treated
the peace movement, women's rights movement, social reform, and animal rights. Her fiction is often
set in contemporary, albeit romanticized, Austria and displays strong English influences; it has been
described as “popular literature.”
Pseudonyms used by Berta Katscher, many of them shared with her husband, include Berta Kellner,
Ludwig Ungar, Ludmilla Koelle, Ludwig Koelle, Albert Kellner, and Bela Keleti; possibly also L.
Katscher.

Leopold and Berta Katscher Papers
Scope and content note
Scope and content note
The Leopold and Berta Katscher papers consist of correspondence divided into general, publisher,
and family correspondence; some diary entries; case files of lawsuits and related correspondence;
manuscripts including book manuscripts and journal proposals; scrapbooks of published articles and
publisher advertisements, papers of societies and associations; and personal documents such as
insurance policies, grade reports, and professional references.
The collection is largely in German, with significant portions in Hungarian and English, and individual
documents in French, Italian, Yiddish, and Hebrew. While most of the handwritten papers are in old
German longhand, a number of them, particularly many of the outgoing letters and most of the diary
entries, are in shorthand. Spelling variants of the name Katscher found in the collection are Kacser,
Kácser, Kácer, and Kácsa.
The papers were collected by Leopold Katscher, who had most of them bound into volumes, and they
consequently contain a significantly higher proportion of his writings than his wife Berta's. With the
exception of the scrapbooks of published articles, all volumes have previously been disbound and, in
most cases, disassembled. Leopold Katscher numbered the items in each volume successively;
skipped numbers in the correspondence folders thus indicate letters that have been removed or refiled. In some cases, those numbers may provide clues for the dating of undated letters.
The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence and published works. The correspondence is
particularly strong in documenting Leopold Katscher's publishing activities as an author, editor, and
translator. Katscher's articles were published in some one hundred serials in Europe and North
America; the collection, which includes rejection letters, allows a thorough insight into the publishing
landscape of the time and Leopold Katscher's aspirations as a journalist. The correspondence is
mostly complete up to 1901 (with some years missing) and includes transcripts in Hungarian from
Leopold Katscher's teenage years. The collection contains correspondence by Berta Katscher,
including family and publisher letters; her correspondence is particularly strongly represented in
select years.
The collection contains Leopold Katscher's extensive correspondence with Baroness Bertha von
Suttner, who was the first woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize and was a strong influence on
Alfred Nobel's decision to establish the prize. The correspondence documents Katscher and von
Suttner's joint efforts to establish peace societies throughout Europe and their work on peace talks
and publications such as the serial Die Waffen Nieder!
Other prominent correspondents include: P.T. Barnum, Victor Bluethgen, John Ingram, Sigmar
Mehring, Max Nordau, Rosika Schwimmer (Katscher's niece), Leopold Spitzer, Hippolyte Taine, and
Edward Westermark.
The collection of Leopold Katscher's printed articles up to 1901 is believed to be complete. Katscher
collected his printed works meticulously, and the volumes of his collected articles are intact. Only a
fraction of Berta Katscher's published work is present in the collection.
While the biographical literature on Leopold Katscher has stressed his involvement in the peace and
women's rights movements, his impact on the literary profession has not been noted. The collection
contains a number of case files that document Katscher's fierce battles for copyright protection of his
and Berta's works, and his calls for professional standards. They show Katscher to have been a
vigorous advocate for the protection of intellectual property, for financial security for artists in the form
of mandatory license fees and pension funds and for the need for professional organizations of
writers and artists.

Series I. Correspondence, 1866-1914
The correspondence consists almost exclusively of incoming letters, with the
exception of one box of copies of outgoing letters. Incoming correspondence is
subdivided into general correspondence, publisher correspondence, and family
correspondence.
A. General correspondence, 1868-1901
4 boxes
General correspondence includes correspondence with friends, acquaintances,
and business associates. Scholars researching Leopold and Berta's publication
history are advised to cross-check the publisher correspondence files with the
general correspondence files, as the latter may also contain letters by editors,
translators, and copyright holders.
The general correspondence is divided in two sections. The first section is
organized alphabetically by correspondent and includes letters whose author is
clearly identifiable and for sustained exchanges. The second section is organized
chronologically by year and contains letters in which the signature is illegible or
missing, as well as letters that represent a single exchange of seemingly lesser
significance.

C. Publishing correspondence, 1869-1901
9 boxes
Publishing correspondence consists of letters directly related to Leopold and
Berta Katscher's publishing activities, including letters accepting or rejecting
submitted work, negotiating projects, defining terms, announcing publications, or
soliciting reviews or advertising. It also contains publisher contracts. The files are
organized by journal title. In cases where one publisher owned multiple journals,
and individual letters therefore contain references to several journals at once, the
letters are filed under the name of the publisher.

Predominantly by Leopold Katscher, with Berta Katscher strongly represented.
Box 17, folders 1-2 contain transcripts of holdings at Széchenyi Library, Hungary
(in Hungarian). Prepared by Maria Ronay for Edith Wynner, 1959, who notes:
“These 10 bound volumes were inadvertently left out of the shipment of
Katscher's archives to the Schwimmer-Lloyd Collection of NYPL. When shipment
was attempted later, Hungarian Government prohibited it on the ground that
these Archives were 'national cultural property' and sent them to Széchenyi
Library.” Years 1868-1879 also contain some publisher correspondence. Some
of the letters seem to have been taken from the family copy books.
