Career From 1911
Von Wiegand worked from 1911 until 1917 for the United Press and from 1917 for Hearst Newspapers.
Wiegand was the first United States reporter allowed to interview the German crown prince Wilhelm. That interview was also the first foreign interview given by a German noble since the outbreak of World War I.
William said this in English:
Undoubtedly this is the most stupid, senseless and unnecessary war of modern times. It is a war not wanted by Germany, I can assure you, but it was forced on us, and the fact that we were so effectually prepared to defend ourselves is now being used as an argument to convince the world that we desired conflict. —Crown Prince Wilhelm, WiegandKarl von Wiegand was the father of journalist (also for Hearst's Newspapers) and abstract painter Charmion von Wiegand.
