Moritz Cohn (8 January 1844 – after 1907), also known by the pseudonym Conimor, was a Prussian-born playwright, poet, and novelist,[2] as well as a prolific contributor to the press.[3]
Cohn was born into a Jewish family in Kreuzburg, Silesia, and educated at the gymnasium of Brieg.[4] He began life as a clerk in a merchant's office in Breslau, devoting his spare time to writing. He later worked at his brother's banking business in Görlitz, with whom he also participated in railroad construction.[5]
After some of his plays had met with success, Cohn abandoned commerce and in 1875 settled down in Vienna as an author.[4]
