After working for a short time in a merchant's office, he took to Journalism , and in 1831 edited '' Don Quixote '', a periodical which was suppressed in 1833 owing to its revolutionary tendencies. He next, under the pseudonym Adolf Brennglas, published a series of pictures of Berlin life, under the titles ''Berlin wie es ist undtrinkt'' (thirty parts, with illustrations, 1833- 1849 ), and ''Buntes Berlin'' (fourteen parts, with illustrations, Berlin, 1837 - 1858 ), and thus became the founder of a popular satirical literature associated with modern Berlin. In 1840 he married the actress Adele Peroni ( 1813 - 1895 ), and removed in the following year to Neustrelitz , where his wife had obtained an engagement at the Grand Ducal theatre. In 1848 Glassbrenner entered the political arena and became the leader of the democratic party in Mecklenburg-Strelitz . Expelled from that country in 1850 , he settled in Hamburg , where he remained until 1858; and then he became editor of the ''Montagszeitung Berlin'', where he died in 1876 . Among Glassbrenner's other humorous and satirical writings may be mentioned:
