PALM, JOHANN PHILIPP (1768-1806)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 639 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PALM, JOHANN PHILIPP (1768-1806) , German bookseller, a victim of Napoleonic tyranny in Germany, was born at Schorndorf, in Wurttemberg, on the 17th of November 1768. Having been apprenticed to his uncle, the publisher Johann
Jakob
  Palm (1750-1826), in Erlangen, he married the daughter of the bookseller
Stein
  in Nuremberg, and in course of time became proprietor of his father-in-law's business. In the
spring
  of 18o6 the firm of
Stein
  sent to the bookselling
establishment
  of Stage in Augsburg a pamphlet (presumably written by Philipp Christian Yelin in Ansbach) entitled Deutschland in seiner tiefen Erniedrigung (" Germany in her deep humiliation "), which strongly attacked
Napoleon
  and the behaviour of the French troops in Bavaria.
Napoleon
 , on being apprised of the violent attack made upon his regime and failing to discover the actual author, had Palm arrested and handed over to a military commission at
Braunau
  on the Bavarian-Austrian frontier, with peremptory instructions to try and execute the prisoner within twenty-four
hours
 . Palm was denied the right of defence, and after a mock trial on the 25th of August 1806 he was shot on the following day. A life-size bronze statue was erected to his memory in
Braunau
  in 1866, and on the centenary of his death numerous patriotic meetings were held in Bavaria.
See F. Schultheis, Johann Philipp Palm (Nuremberg, 186o); and J. Rackl, Der niirnberger Buchhdndler Johann Philipp Palm (Nuremberg, 1906).
