Excerpt from the Illustrirten Zeitung No. 3538 of April 20, 1911, p. 7f.
Anna Wendland, born in Berlin, was the daughter of Adolf Wendland (1828–1900). She attended an evangelical high school for girls in Koblenz . In 1885 she passed the exam as a handicraft teacher as a so-called “half-school student” (not a full course) at the teacher’s seminar there.
In 1889 Anna Wendland went to Hanover together with her parents , where she turned to the local history of the city and home. She wrote her first publications in the magazine Haus und Schule, edited by her father . In the period that followed, the Hanoverian ruling house, the Guelphs , especially their history in the 17th and 18th centuries, counted. She came out especially with editions of letters from various members of the nobility .
Supported by the archivist Otto Jürgens , Anna Wendland viewed and edited the “Harrys'sche Autographensammlung ” in the Hannover City Archives ; this work was reflected in the Hanover history sheets, in Volume 6 of 1903. Wendland, however, also published numerous other articles in this series.
In October 1943, the year of the strongest air raids on Hanover in World War II , Anna Wendland moved to Hann. Münden, where she died in 1955 at the age of 89.
