Biography
Dornbush was born in Trieste, then part of the Austrian Empire, in 1819.[1] Dornbusch became a vegan in 1843, "partaking neither of fish, flesh, fowl, butter, milk, cheese, or eggs, and abstaining also from the use of tea, coffee, intoxicating drinks, salt, and tobacco",[2] Francis William Newman also described him as abstaining from, "every form of vegetable grease or oil, from the chief vegetable spices, such as pepper and ginger, and emphatically from salt."[3]
Dornbusch moved to England from Hamburg in 1845, where he settled in London with his wife Amalie.[4] He became one of the leading members of the vegetarian movement, naming his house "Vegetarian Cottage",[4] and becoming one of the first members of the Vegetarian Society.[5] Dornbusch remarried after his wife's death and in 1866, along with his daughter and second wife, Emma, signed a petition for women's suffrage.[4] He was also a member of the general committee of the Emancipation Society, along with John Stuart Mill,[4] as well as a member of the National Society for Women's Suffrage, which he served on the central committee for from 1871 to 1872.[4]
Dornbusch died from bronchitis, on 5 February 1873,[6] at the age of 53.[2] He was buried in Abney Park Cemetery, London.[4]
