Eva Rittmeister (born 5 July 1913 in Zeitz, died 19 July 2004) was a German peadiatric nurse, later office worker who became a resistance fighter against the Nazis.[1] During World War II, Rittmeister became involved a Berlin based resistance group that later became known as the Red Orchestra ("Rote Kapelle").
Life
Eve Rittmeister née Knieper was the daughter of a merchant.[1] After school, Rittmeister initially trained as a pediatric nurse, then worked as an office worker.[1] Several sources indicate, however, that she was an actress.[2][3]
In 1939, after returning to Germany, Rittmeister married Eva Rittmeister née Knieper, who was a pediatric nurse[1] and fifteen years younger than him, aged 25. Rittmeister considered her "life-affirming", who often enriched his life by releiving his depression.[4]
Education
To prepare for her Abitur in 1940, Rittmeister attended the the Heil'schen Abendschule Abendgymnasium ("Berliner Städtische Abendgymnasium für Erwachsene") (BAG) at Berlin W 50, Augsburger Straße 60 in Schöneberg. While there she met a number of people that would eventually become close friends including Ursula Goetze, Liane Berkowitz, Fritz Thiel and Friedrich Rehmer. They gradually formed a group of young people that met to discuss ideological, humanist and political views that gradually led to their opposition to Nazis.[1][5]
