The Henry Lischer House is a historic home located in the Hamburg Historic District in Davenport, Iowa, United States. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.〔 The house was individually listed on the Davenport Register of Historic Properties in 1993.〔 The Italian Villa style home was designed by Davenport architect Frederick G. Clausen. Clausen was married to Henry Lischers daughter Johanna. == Henry Lischer== The home is associated with Henry Lischer, the owner and publisher of one of Davenport’s German-language newspapers ''Der Demokrat''. The paper was founded by Theodor Gülich in November 1851. Lischer and his partner, Theodor Olshausen, bought the paper in 1856. Both were German immigrants who became newspapermen in St. Louis, Missouri.〔Svendsen, 8-1〕 At its inception the paper was aligned with the political philosophy, and financial support, of the Democratic Party. However, it was a “free paper” that was not beholden to party doctrines and supported the right of freedom and human rights.〔 It began to support the positions of the Republican Party. It was opposed to slavery and printed a supportive obituary to abolitionist John Brown. Lischer and Olshausen left Davenport in 1860 to return to St. Louis where they took over the ''Westliche Post''. The new owners of ''Der Demokrat'' experienced financial problems as a result of their radical views and the economic downturn as a result of the American Civil War. Lischer, who still had a financial interest in the paper, returned to Davenport and became its sole owner for the next 40 years. After the Civil War editorials in the paper fought the prohibition of alcohol, which was supported by the Republican Party. Even after the state of Iowa successfully passed prohibition laws in 1882, Scott County remained defiant with the support of the paper. Lischer’s sons continued their father’s work after his death.
