Anna Brentano-Bauck

Anna Brentano-Bauck , b. Moerler , (born July 10, 1853 in Wendhagen , Pomerania , † after 1898) was a German writer .

Life

She was born as the only daughter of the landowner and bailiff Hermann Moerler; she had two older brothers. Her mother was sickly and could hardly look after the daughter.

She received her education in the daughter house of the Friday sisters in Köslin and later came to the boarding school of Fräuleins Weisse in Berlin , which had a very good reputation at the time. After finishing school, she returned to her parents, who had meanwhile moved to Kolberg and built their own villa there. In Kolberg she met the officer Karl Bauck, whom she married in 1874. The marriage had a son and daughter Elisabeth Bauck , born in 1875 , who, like the mother, became a writer.

The family moved to Berlin in 1882, where Karl Bauck died in the same year after a maneuvering accident. Her son also died a short time later. Brentano-Bauck's first literary work also fell during this period; the Schwank Madame Spinetti was published in 1886. After the death of her husband and son, she traveled a lot with her daughter. Together they visited France , Belgium and Switzerland, among others . She also made contacts with numerous writers of her time and met her second husband, the writer and editor Brentano, in Berlin. The marriage took place in 1885, but the marriage was divorced in 1892.

From 1892 she wrote novellas and novels in collaboration with her unnamed daughter. A nervous disease finally led to severe dementia in 1898 and abruptly ended her literary career. Until 1904, works by her that were "postponed" were published; Brentano-Bauck published under the pseudonyms M. Buch , A. Carlsen and under her married name Anna Bauck .
