Julius Frauenstädt

Christian Martin Julius Frauenstädt (born at Bojanowo, Posen, April 17, 1813; died at Berlin January 13, 1879) was a German student of philosophy. He was educated at the house of his uncle at Neisse, and converted from Judaism to Christianity in 1833. Studying theology and, later, philosophy at Berlin, he formed the acquaintance of Schopenhauer, and took up his residence in Berlin in 1848.

Frauenstädt was a disciple of Arthur Schopenhauer, as is shown by his works. He wrote:

Schopenhauer made Frauenstädt his literary executor, to undertake the editing of his works. Among Frauenstädt's works relating especially to Schopenhauer are:

He edited "Gesammtausgabe der Werke Schopenhauer's," 6 vols., ib. 1873–74, 2d ed. 1877.
