Leopold Einstein first learned Esperanto in 1888, and is considered the first German speaker of Esperanto; the Esperanto Club founded by Einstein was the first such in the world; the Club published the first Esperanto newspaper in the world in 1889; from 1936 through 1945 Esperanto was considered "cosmopolitan", and thus prohibited.
