Adolf Glassbrenner (March 27, 1810–September 25, 1876), was a German humorist and satirist, born in Berlin. After working for a short time in a merchant's office, he took to journalism, and in 1831 edited Don Quixote, a periodical which was suppressed in 1833 owing to its revolutionary tendencies. He next, under the pseudonym Adolf Brennglas, published a series of pictures of Berlin life, under the titles Berlin wie es ist undtrinkt, and Buntes Berlin, and thus became the founder of a popular satirical literature associated with modern Berlin. In 1840 he married the actress Adele Peroni, and removed in the following year to Neustrelitz, where his wife had obtained an engagement at the Grand Ducal theatre. In 1848 Glassbrenner entered the political arena and became the leader of the democratic party in Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Expelled from that country in 1850, he settled in Hamburg, where he remained until 1858; and then he became editor of the Montagszeitung Berlin, where he died in 1876.
