Georges Salz or Georg Salz (20 November 1878 – 19 May 1949) was a freethinking[1] Swiss writer, publisher and editor.
Salz made an apprenticeship as a book printer. After living in England and Paris, he settled in Switzerland and acquired Swiss citizenship. In Bern he worked in large print shops and later founded his own enterprise together with Mettler.[2]
In 1931 he married Rosa Rupp.[2] He traveled to Europe, North Africa and Central America, and published books on his journeys. The publishers Mettler & Salz and Schären, Haeni & Salz, both based in Bern[3] bore his name.
He was, among other things, editor of the organ of the Freethinkers Association of Switzerland Der Freidenker.[4]
