Life

Amalie Baisch was born in Munich on October 8, 1859. Her father was Rudolf Marggraff , professor of art history and aesthetics and general secretary at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, her mother was Elisabeth Marggraff. Amalie Baisch visited the Max-Josef-Stift in Munich and then took a job as a teacher in Paris . She was a guest in the Paris salons and made numerous trips. She processed her experiences in literary sketches.

In 1885 she married the writer Otto Baisch (1840-1892). During the 1870s in Munich he met her father Rudolf Marggraff, who died in 1880 and was no longer able to realize a planned biography of Johann Christian Reinhart . The family made Marggraff's extensive preparatory work available to Otto Baisch, who used it as the basis for his biography "Johann Christian Reinhart and his circles" published in 1882.

Otto Baisch had accepted the position of editor-in-chief of the magazine “ Über Land und Meer ” in Stuttgart in 1884 a year before his marriage . Amalie Baisch also found her new sphere of activity in Stuttgart and the stimulating cultural atmosphere. The son Hermann Baisch (born July 4, 1886), who later took the name Hermann Baisch-Gassner, emerged from the marriage.

From 1886 the family lived in Stuttgart in a rented apartment at Neckarstrasse 123 in the building of the Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt , the publishing house of "Über Land und Meer". After the death of her husband in 1892, Amalie Baisch moved with her son to Kernerstraße 31 in 1894, where she lived with her mother Elisabeth Marggraff for a year. In 1896 she went back to Munich with her son, where she lived at Barerstrasse 14 in 1898. Around 1900 she lived in Bayreuth . She married again with Major Florian Gassner.
