Curt Thesing

Curt Egon Thesing (21 April 1879, Danzig, West Prussia, today's Gdańsk, Poland – 25 May 1956, Bad Tölz, West Germany) was a German zoologist, publisher, populariser of science and translator.

Life

In 1913 Thesing joined Otto val Halem as partner and managing director of Veit and Comp. Following wartime propaganda collaboration with a German-Austrian publishers' association, Veit & Comp. was incorporated into Walter de Gruyter on 1 January 1919 – despite some political reservations from Thesing, who was on the political left. In May 1920 he withdrew as a partner from the firm for health reasons.[1]
