Anna Schieber (born December 12, 1867 in Esslingen am Neckar as Anna Dorothea Schieber, died August 7, 1945 in Tübingen ) was a German writer . Her work included more than 60 novels , ballads , short stories and songs.

Life

Anna Schieber came from a large Swabian family of craftsmen belonging to master cooper Gottlob Jakob. She attended the girls' school and later worked first as a house daughter , then at the Kunsthaus Schaller. Long-term illness led to her continuing education in self-study. She had a protracted stay in a pulmonary sanatorium and made several trips while she was gaining her first literary experience. After having been employed in a military hospital during the First World War , she devoted herself to youth and popular education from 1918 and campaigned for the political education of women. In 1919 she was a member of the German Democratic Party for a short time .

As early as 1897, she published her first book From God's garden under the pseudonym Dora Hoffmann. About 60 other books followed, many of them autobiographical, all shaped by Pietism , folk and close to nature. The novel Alle Gute Geister (1905) made Schieber the most widely read author of her time. She spent the summers in the Dichterklause in Tübingen, a house in the Rotbad 38, which is no longer there today.

She had contact with groups of the Protestant youth movement and from 1930 was a member of the Köngener Bund . She was also one of the members of the Swabian poets' group founded in 1938 and directed by the National Socialists . The more recent research leads Schieber with regard to their attitude to National Socialism under the heading "Indifference".

Anna Schieber committed suicide in Tübingen soon after the end of the Second World War and was buried in the city cemetery. Her grave is still preserved. Part of her estate is kept in the German Literature Archive in Marbach .
