Biographical / Historical
Ludwig Tietz was born in Berlin to a family known for its chain of department stores in numerous German cities. He studied at the Berlin Wilhelm Gymnasium, served in the medical corps in World War I and studied medicine at Freiburg University. He was active in the Centralverein, involved himself in several social aid projects in Jewish communities and especially for Jewish youth, and was one of the early leaders of Youth Aliyah from Germany. Despite assertions that Tietz's committed suicide, he apparently died of a hemorrhage in late 1933.
