Cohn was born into a Jewish family in Kreuzburg, Silesia, and educated at the gymnasium of Brieg.[4] He began life as a clerk in a merchant's office in Breslau, devoting his spare time to writing. He later worked at his brother's banking business in Görlitz, with whom he also participated in railroad construction.[5]
After some of his plays had met with success, Cohn abandoned commerce and in 1875 settled down in Vienna as an author.[4]
