Agnes Miegel (born March 9, 1879 in Königsberg i. Pr. , † October 26, 1964 in Bad Salzuflen ) was a German poet and journalist.

Life

Empire and Weimar Republic

Agnes Miegel's ancestors on her mother's side lived in Filzmoos on the Oberhofgut, the oldest property in the Salzburg region . They were among the exiles from Salzburg who were summoned to East Prussia by Friedrich Wilhelm I (Prussia) in 1732 . She was the only child of the businessman Gustav Adolf Miegel and his wife Helene nee. Hofer.

Miegel attended the high school for girls in Königsberg and then lived from 1894 to 1896 in a boarding school in Weimar , where she wrote her first poems. In 1898 she spent three months in Paris , another study trip took her to Italy. Around 1900 she joined a literary group in Göttingen , which also included Lulu von Strauss and Torney and Börries von Münchhausen . He immediately developed a love affair with Münchhausen, which he ended in 1902 because of the differences in class. Miegel saw Münchhausen as her teacher in everyone, including the artistic field. After the end of the relationship, she saw herself as “the unfortunate creature that led him to sin”.

From 1900 Miegel trained as a pediatric nurse in a Berlin children's hospital and from 1902 to 1904 worked as an educator at the Clifton High School girls' boarding school in Bristol , England . In 1904 she attended the teachers' seminar in Berlin, had to drop out due to illness and in 1905 went to an agricultural school for girls near Munich. She also worked briefly as a journalist in Berlin.

In 1906, Agnes Miegel returned to Königsberg to look after her sick parents and especially her blind father until his death in 1917. From 1920 to 1926 she was the editor of the feature pages of the Ostpreussische Zeitung . She lived in Königsberg until 1945, interrupted by long trips, and worked there as a journalist, author and, from 1927, as a freelance writer.

Together with Hans Leip , Hans Frank , Hans Friedrich Blunck , Wilhelm Scharrelmann and Manfred Hausmann she founded in 1924 in Bremen, the conservative and nationalist -national aligned Autorenvereinigung The Kogge , which in 1934 resolved during the Nazi Gleichschaltung politics and founded in October 1933 Reichsschrifttumskammer with other authors' associations. In general and literary politics, Miegel was also close to the " Wartburg district ". In this union founded by Münchhausen in 1930, National Socialist and National Conservative authors and opponents of the democratic republic came together. He received financial support from the National Socialists. Miegel was one of the enthusiastic supporters of the Nazi movement. For years the authors grouped together in the Wartburgkreis had tried to enforce that German literature should only be regarded as "directed against internationalist, modernist and pacifist tendencies". That is what the Weimar Republic stood for . Miegel represents the "downfall" "like Käthe Kollwitz the beginning of the Weimar Republic", so the literary scholar Angelika Döpper-Henrich.

National Socialism

1933 Miegel after withdrawal and expulsion of Nazi opponents of the Prussian Academy of Arts together with Werner Beumelburg , Hans Friedrich Blunck , Hans Grimm , Hanns Johst , Erwin Guido Kolbenheyer , Borries von Munchhausen , Wilhelm Schäfer , Hermann Stehr and Emil Strauss in their Appointed to the Senate and also made a board member. With the exception of Beumelburg, all of the new senators were members of the Wartburg district.

Also in 1933, as one of 88 German writers, Miegel signed the pledge of loyal allegiance to Adolf Hitler . That year she joined the Nazi women's association. After the death of the Reich President Paul von Hindenburg , she signed the call of the cultural workers for a “ referendum ” because of the merging of the offices of Reich President and Reich Chancellor in the person of Hitler. In 1939 she accepted the Hitler Youth Badge of Honor . In 1940 she became a member of the NSDAP .

Miegel went on lecture and reading tours, received honorary citizenship and was allowed to publish without restrictions. She took an uncritical and supportive stance towards National Socialism and never distanced herself from it. She was enthusiastic about Adolf Hitler . Their attitude becomes clear in the glorifications of Hitler, among others in Karl Hans Bühner's anthology Dem Führer (1938):

“Let
us confess in your hand, Führer, before all the world;
You and we,
never to be separated,
stand for our German country. "

After the attack on Poland , Miegel published her volume of poetry Ostland in 1940 with the verses "[...] Overpowering / humble thanks fills me that I experience this / can still serve you, serving the Germans / with the gift that God gave me!" A turn to blood and soil issues can also be observed. As early as 1934, in a letter to the Nazi writer and cultural politician Hans Friedrich Blunck , she justified why she was not yet a party member, even though she confessed to National Socialism: she considered it, she said, as a "guilt", later as to have connected others to National Socialism. You didn't want to appear as an "occasional hunter". Your confessions - "because I am a National Socialist" - would perhaps have a "more convincing effect on others". "We will", she declared, "be a National Socialist state - or we will not be!" This second possibility, however, would be "the downfall not only of Germany", but "the downfall of the white man."

In 1939 she dedicated a poem to the Reichsfrauenführer Gertrud Scholtz-Klink . The Nazi hereditary and racial ideology can be found in the story The Ransom and other works , as both characters who were for a time exposed to a different culture (here the Tatars ) and their children show changes in their behavior and appearance that Miegel associated with negative connotations .

As a well-known East Prussian homeland poet , she became a "literary figurehead" of the Nazi regime . In 1940 she received the Goethe Prize from the city of Frankfurt am Main, on whose board of directors both Heinrich Himmler and Joseph Goebbels had sat since 1935 . In August 1944, in the final phase of World War II , Hitler added her to the special list of the six most important German writers as an “outstanding national capital” , which released her from all war obligations.

After 1945

In March 1945, she fled to the west with her neighbors and her friend and poet Walter Scheffler from the advancing Red Army . Via Copenhagen they ended up in the Danish refugee camp Oksbøl . In 1946 Agnes Miegel returned to Germany and was accepted into the British zone of occupation in Apelern Castle by the von Münchhausen family. In 1948 she moved to Bad Nenndorf and lived there with her adopted daughter Elise († 1972) until the end of her life.

Former Agnes Miegel memorial in Bad Nenndorf

After 1945, Agnes Miegel remarked on her attitude and her activities under National Socialism: “I have to deal with this alone with my God and with no one else.” Miegel did not distance himself from National Socialism.

Evaluation after 1945

After the end of the Nazi state , Miegels Werke Ostland (Jena 1940) and Werden und Werk were established in the Soviet occupation zone . With contributions by Karl Plenzat (Leipzig 1938) placed on the list of literature to be sorted out.

Special stamp for Miegel's 100th birthday
of Elisabeth von Janota-Bzowski (1979)

In the Federal Republic, however, there were numerous honors after 1945. Associations of refugees and displaced persons from the east ("Landsmannschaften") played a prominent role. From the mystification of the East Prussian tradition, Miegel developed a transfigured memory poetry and was thus honored as a figure of identification for expellees. The German Federal Post Office issued a stamp in 1979 as a special stamp for her 100th birthday. In the former home in Bad Nenndorf one as was Agnes Miegel house designated Literature Museum set up dedicated to the namesake. It is operated by the literary Agnes Miegel Society, which is also based there. The street on which the building is located is also named after Miegel. In addition, an Agnes Miegel memorial was erected in a park.

With the distant reassessment that began in the 1990s of people who were important in the Nazi regime and who were honored beyond its end, a negative attitude towards the “cult of remembrance” (Anke Sawahn) also prevailed in the Miegel case.

In the literary stories she got no further than brief remarks. The leading literary critic Marcel Reich-Ranicki classified Miegel as an author who faithfully paid homage to Hitler (1998, 2014) and assigned her to those who were sponsored by the Nazi regime (1999). Nevertheless, he included three of her poems in his anthology Der Kanon (2005). The Handbuch der Deutschensprachigen Exilliteratur (2013) sees her in the group of authors who “worked with the regime”, while the New German Literature History emphasizes Miegel's poetry, which is laudatory “ Führer poetry”.

After the end of the Nazi regime, a large number of public places (schools, streets, etc.) in West Germany were named after Agnes Miegel. This has now often been withdrawn by the municipal representations because these honors were viewed as inappropriately dealing with National Socialism and those exposed to Nazism.

In 2014, the city of Hanover appointed an advisory board made up of experts to check whether people who gave their names to streets “had active participation in the Nazi regime or serious personal actions against humanity”. He suggested the renaming of the street named after Miegel. The advisory board describes them as "continuously working pillar of the Nazi regime in the journalistic operation of the dictatorship since 1933". With "war-glorifying and anti-Semitic writings" she moved in the "wake of Nazi ideology". After 1945 Miegel did not distance himself. In 2016 the Miegelweg was renamed Igelweg.

In 1968 a memorial stone was erected on the Blumenauer Kirchweg in Wunstorf on the initiative of an acquaintance of the poet. The memorial stone has been dismantled and the street named after her is to be renamed.

Awards and their withdrawal

Because of Miegel's NS burden, schools in Düsseldorf-Golzheim, Osnabrück (2010, new namesake: Bertha von Suttner ), Wilhelmshaven (2010, new namesake: Marion Dönhoff ), Willich-Schiefbahn (2008, new namesake: Astrid Lindgren ) were renamed. In 1969 the district council's attempt to rename the Oberschule in Bad Nenndorf to Agnes-Miegel-Gymnasium failed. The supporters came from all parties from the SPD to the NPD and were supported by the Minister of Education. As opponents, pupils (“Action Group for Democratic Pupils”), the majority of teachers and the parents' representatives prevailed.

Roads were renamed in Bielefeld-Sennestadt (2009, new namesake: Nelly Sachs ), Celle (2011, new namesake: Lise Meitner ), Detmold (2009, new namesake: Maria von Maltzan), Erftstadt-Friesheim, Ganderkesee-Elmeloh, Heiden ( Kr.Borken), Lage-Hagen, Lünen-Niederaden (2012, new name: Dohlenweg), Neuenkirchen (Steinfurt district), Osnabrück (2010, new namesake: Bertha von Suttner ), Quickborn-Heide (Kr.Pinneberg), Ratingen ( 2012), Schwerte (2014, new name: Kleine Feld-Straße), Velbert-Neviges and 2016 in Aachen (new name also here: Nelly-Sachs-Straße).

In 2011, the Ardey-Verlag pulled out the memory book Agnes Miegel just one week after it was published . Her life, thinking and poetry from the imperial era to the Nazi era of the editor Marianne Kopp, chairwoman of the Agnes-Miegel-Gesellschaft , back from the trade.

In 1994 a statue of Agnes Miegel created by Ernst Hackländer was inaugurated in the spa gardens of Bad Nenndorf . In 2013, the Bad Nenndorf Council decided to remove the Miegel monument from the spa gardens. At the beginning of 2015, a referendum against its removal from public space, supported by the Agnes Miegel Society, failed. It should also have been important “that the city has been defending itself against annual neo-Nazi marches for a long time. In Bad Nenndorf in particular, such a monument in the spa gardens really has no business ”. In February 2015 the memorial was actually removed from the spa gardens. Since then it has been in the garden of the Agnes Miegel House .

In the city of Ahlen, however, a referendum against the renaming of Agnes-Miegel-Strasse was successful in August 2015. In Sankt Augustin , residents also spoke out against renaming. By resolution of the local city council, an additional legend sign was installed in 2012.

In Wunstorf , the Agnes Miegel memorial stone on the Blumenauer Kirchweg was removed.

Miegel was first a poet, then became famous for her form of historical ballad, in which she preferred to thematize love and the fate of women. Further ballads take on legends and fairy tales, a frequent motif is the woman seduced by an elemental being (water or earth). From the 1920s onwards, Miegel turned into a traditional narrator. From the time of National Socialism, her poetry "as an expression of exaggerated love of home [...] the folkish demon after 1933". Her later memory literature in particular painted a glorified picture of East Prussia before the turn of the century, 1900.
