Life
Anna Maria Simundt was the daughter of a sculptor named Johann Strassgütl.
Simundt first worked as a theater actress at Schweizer, then at four Berlin theaters. She was married to the writer Egon Christian Simundt , who was excluded from the Reichsschrifttumskammer in 1937 because of his Jewish grandparents on his father's side and was banned from publishing. Out of loyalty to her husband, she was also banned from working.
After the Second World War , she and her husband settled in Regensburg. There she played at the city theater , made a name for herself as a reciter , was involved in Christian-Jewish cooperation and lectured at the adult education center and as a lecturer at the University of Education in Regensburg . In the early 1970s she became a member of the Regensburg Writers' Group (RSG) and was active there as a board member for over ten years. She was also a Senator for Halcyon Academy.
