Armin Robinson
Armin Lackenbach Robinson, born on February 23, 1900, in Vienna, Austria, was a notable Austrian music publisher and lyricist. He experienced the pinnacle of his career in Berlin during the late 1920s and early 1930s. Robinson, whose pen name was derived from his mother's maiden name, was renowned for writing several popular hit songs such as "Zwei Herzen im Dreivierteltakt," "Auch du wirst mich einmal betrügen," and "Wenn wieder Frühling ist." He collaborated with prominent composers like Oscar Straus, Paul Abraham, Ralph Benatzky, and Robert Stolz.

Robinson was also involved in the early sound film industry and co-founded the Ufaton-Verlag. He fled Nazi Germany in 1934, relocating to Zurich, Switzerland, where he continued his work in music publishing. In 1938, Robinson went into exile in the United States, returning to Europe after World War II to live in Switzerland and Austria.

In addition to his musical contributions, Robinson edited a collection of novellas titled "The Ten Commandments: Ten Short Novels of Hitler's War Against the Moral Code," featuring works by writers such as Thomas Mann. Robinson passed away on September 12, 1985, in Bad Ischl, Austria, where he was also laid to rest.
