life and work
Alice Wegmann-Dändliker wrote under her pseudonym M. Albert from 1881 to 1904 for the Winterthur daily newspaper Der Landbote . In her stories, she described the ruling bourgeoisie and the intellectual milieu in which pastors, doctors and lawyers played a role. Alice Wegmann-Dändliker took a clear position on the disputes between the Catholic and Reformed parties. In her essays, she defended an intact, backward-looking point of view in which there are hard blows of fate, but which she did not go into further. She also translated English stories into standard German.
Alice Wegmann-Dändliker married the pastor Jakob Wegmann (1847–1927) in 1881. Together they had four children, one of whom was Pastor Hans Wegmann . Wegmann-Dändliker suffered from a heart defect. Her granddaughter Eva Hess-Wegmann (1922–2019) helped from 1998 to bring her forgotten life story to light again.
