Heinrich Karl Ernst Martin Meyer (May 17, 1904 in Nuremberg, Germany - 10 October, 1977 in Bellingham, Washington, USA) was a professor of German and author. He first moved to the United States to work at Rice University in 1930 and officially naturalized on November 6, 1935. In 1942 a petition was submitted to revoke his citizenship due to his national German sympathies, and the case was fought in courts until ultimately he was allowed to retain his American citizenship in 1944. In the next thirty-plus years Meyer wrote extensively about German literature and about American Culture, but also published on gardening under a pseudonym Robert O. Barlow. His papers are held in the Jean and Alexander Heard Library Special Collections at Vanderbilt University.
Early Life
Meyer was born in Nuremberg in 1904 to Wilhelm Meyer, a school teacher, and his wife Anna. He first enrolled at the University in Erlangen in 1923. In the same year he transferred to the university in Munich. From 1924-28, Meyer studied in Freiburg, where he received his doctorate in German Literature. After teaching in Martin Luserke's Schule am Meer for two years, he then moved to Houston, Texas, where he lived for 13 years as a German instructor at Rice Institute (today's Rice University (Werner 234-235). In 1935 Meyer applied for and received US Citizenship .
