Contents 1 Biography 2 Main works 3 Literature 4 References 5 Further reading 6 External links Biography Blumentritt was born in Prague ( now the Czech Republic, then the capital of Kingdom of Bohemia in the former Austrian Empire ). Blumentritt wrote extensively about the Philippines, although he never visited the islands, corresponding with the then Filipino student and writer José Rizal, who later became national hero. Blumentritt 's relationship with Rizal began at least as early as August 1888. Blumentritt became one of Rizal 's closest confidants although they met only once. He translated the latter 's first book, Noli Me Tangere, into German and wrote the preface to Rizal 's second book, El filibusterismo, although he was against its publication as he believed that it will lead to Rizal 's death. These two novels are commentaries disguised as fiction which angered both the Catholic Church and the Spanish colonial government, and which eventually led to Rizal 's 1896 trial and execution. Before the execution in Manila, Rizal wrote his final letter for Blumentritt. Blumentritt reportedly cried after receiving the letter. Alongside Rizal, Blumentritt was a significant contributor to the publication La Solidaridad, published by Filipino expatriates from 1889 to 1895 as a voice for advocacy of political reforms in the Philippines. As of 1900, Blumentritt was a member of the Berlin Institute of Ethnology, as well as holding a professorship in ethnology in the Realschule at Leitmeritz, Bohemia. Blumentritt died in Litoměřice ( German : Leitmeritz ), Bohemia. He is memorialized in the Philippines by numerous public parks and streets. Among them are Blumentritt Road, Blumentritt LRT Station, Blumentritt railway station, the Blumentritt Market in Metro Manila and the Blumentritt Street in Naga City and Tuguegarao. His relations with Rizal also caused the twin status of the Czech town of Litoměřice with the Philippine towns of Calamba ( Rizal 's birthplace ) and Dapitan ( where Rizal was initially exiled ).
