David (Davis) Trietsch (1870-1935), editor, writer and Zionist activist, born in Germany, member of the Zionist General Council and of the democratic faction in the World Zionist Organization (an oppositional faction in the Zionist Organization which introduced an alternative to Herzl's ideas). He was coeditor of the journals Ost und West and Palästina, authored the annual Palästina Handbuch and was one of the founders of the Jüdischer Verlag publishing house.
Trietsch dedicated a considerable part of his time to the question of Jewish settlement. In the 1890s, he conceived the idea of settling Jews in Cyprus, and subsequently promoted the settlement in Cyprus as an alternative to the 1903 Uganda Scheme (a proposal he vehemently opposed). Trietsch later supported the Jewish emigration to Palestine, and suggested planned commercial and industrial development of the country and the establishment of garden cities. He himself settled in Palestine in 1932.
