Eduard Warren was born as Wolf Aarons in Altona (Hamburg), Germany. During his early journalistic carreer he was assigned to the US. He helped the American President James Polk in his election campaign (1844), and in turn got a job as US counsul to Trieste (then the southern harbour of Austria). He edited the paper The Triester Lloyd, and impressed Count Stadion, the Austrian provincial governor, who brought Warren to Vienna (1848). He was nominated editor of the Oestereichische Lloyd by Count Stadion in order to disseminate anti-revolutionary ideas. Warren succeeded in his editorship and showed that Jewish journalists could write for the conservatives as for the liberals. In his column he justified returning to absolutism and advocated the intervation against the Second French Republic. In spite of his success in writing about French politics he did not manage the same way in internal politics, and his paper was suspended (1854), six years after he became editor. After his failure in political journalistic, he turned to financial papers: Warrens Wochenschrift, Escomptegesellschaft.
