Ania Teillard , born Anja von Mendelssohn , also Ania Adamkiewicz Mendelssohn (* 5 February . Jul / 17th February  1889 greg. In Tartu ; † 17th January 1978 in Paris ) was a German graphologist and author .

Life

Ania Teillard belongs to the German-Jewish merchant, scholar and artist family Mendelssohn from Jever , which goes back to Moses Mendelssohn (not identical with the philosopher Moses Mendelssohn from Dessau ). Her father was professor Ludwig Mendelssohn , her brothers the Hellerau artisan Georg Mendelssohn and the writer Erich von Mendelssohn .

Ania Teillard was born as Anja von Mendelssohn in Dorpat (today's Tartu) and, like her three siblings, was baptized Evangelical Lutheran. After the death of her father in 1896, who was ennobled by the tsar, her mother Alexandrine von Cramer moved with Anja and her three brothers to Jena , where she went to school. Anja von Mendelssohn then worked as an actress (she played, among other things, Thekla in Wallenstein at the theater in Meiningen) and in 1909 published Maja , the novel by an actress that made a lasting impression on Klaus Mann .

The first person Ania Teillard found out about graphology was the clairvoyant character box Ludwig Aub. In the twenties she studied with the psychologist and graphologist Ludwig Klages in Switzerland and had intensive contacts with the graphologists Max Pulver , Robert Saudek and Jules Crépieux-Jamin. With her brother, the artisan Georg Mendelssohn, she published the book Der Mensch in der Handschrift in 1928 .

Studying at CG Jung in Zurich was very formative for Ania Teillard , as it motivated her to combine graphology and psychology. C. G. Jung remained connected to them in numerous publications that were translated into several languages. She was Vice President of the Societé Francaise de Psychologie Analytique.

Ania Teillard died on January 17, 1978 in Paris .
