Agnes-Marie Grisebach

Agnes-Marie Grisebach (born September 2, 1913 in Berlin ; † March 6, 2011 in Ahrenshoop ) was a German actress and writer . Her real name was Agnes Eggert, but published under her maiden name.

Life

Grisebach spent her childhood in Berlin and in the Baltic Sea resort of Ahrenshoop . She became an actress and worked at the theater in Munich and Breslau . She married the director Walther Eggert in 1936 and lived as a mother and housewife in Rostock and Ahrenshoop. In 1942 she was evacuated to the Zingst peninsula (Baltic Sea).

After her divorce, she was the sole breadwinner and brought herself and her four children, including Almut Eggert , through the distressed post-war years and most recently lived in Rostock again. At the end of 1951 she fled to the West with her children and worked in a brake factory in Heidelberg until 1973 . From 1976 she lived in Frankfurt am Main and Neu-Isenburg. From 1996 until her death she lived again in the Ahrenshooper house, which was built by her father Helmuth Grisebach (1883–1970).

It was not until she was 75 that she published her first book Eine Frau, born in the 13th year , which hit the bestseller lists shortly after it was published and later appeared in paperback. The book was a reminder of the fate of the rubble women and made many aware of how little literature, autobiographies or other contemporary witness reports there was from these years. Her second novel, A Woman in the West. The novel of a new beginning (1989) tells how her life goes on.

Her eventful life story, which is typical of an entire generation of women who took their lives into their own hands, was told in her three-part autobiography : A woman, born in the 13th year , A woman in the west , from beginning to end .

Even when she went blind in 1995, she still published another novel and a volume of poetry ( From the beginning to the beginning and a little room for the muses ).

In 1990, Grisebach was the recipient of the Neu-Isenburg Culture Prize “in recognition of her literary work and in recognition of her cultural merits to the city” .
