Anna Lühring
Anna Lühring (actually Johanna Lühring, sometimes incorrectly called Lührmann) (* August 3, 1796 in Bremen , † August 25, 1866 in Hamburg ) was a Prussian soldier at times a German celebrity.
Life
The daughter of a master carpenter from Bremen became enthusiastic about the wars of liberation after Tettenborn invaded Bremen and Eleonore Prochaska died . The 17-year-old left Bremen on February 13, 1814 wearing her brother's men's clothes. She then joined the Lützow Freikorps under the name Eduard Kruse before Jülich . With this she took part in the siege of the city of Jülich and some smaller battles. After her true identity became known, she stayed with the troops until they returned to Berlin . There she was honored for her services and was a welcome guest in Berlin society and at court. The fact that Johann Smidt tried to get the young woman back against the declared will of his father was seen as a patriotic and political move by the mayor. On February 4, 1815, she was received triumphantly in Bremen, returned to her parents' house, but soon moved to Hamburg, where she did a modest job. In 1821 she married the waiter and wage clerk Johann Peter August Lucks from Altona , who became a Hamburg citizen in 1827. In 1832, after the death of her husband, she lived lonely and impoverished in Horn . Only in 1860 did she finally receive a small pension of 150 Thaler Gold annually from her hometown Bremen (this corresponds to about 3,700 EUR today) for her services , arranged by the former Lützow hunter and co-founder of the Democratic Society in Bremen, Johannes Rösing .
Her grave is in the Alten Hammer Friedhof in Hamburg-Hamm .

- ↑ This number is intended to give a rough idea of today's value. In 1872, one thaler of gold was equivalent to 3.3214 marks when the exchange rate was suspended. H. the pension was then worth around 500 marks. Under the assumption that this value ratio was still approximately true in 1882, the EUR value was determined using the template (currently only applicable from 1882) : inflation and rounded to 100 EUR; it refers to January 2020.
