Anna Wittula
Anna Wittula , (born April 22, 1861 in Marburg an der Drau as Anna Unger ; † March 3, 1918 in Graz ) was an Austrian narrator and writer .
Life
Anna was born in the Lower Styrian town of Marburg (now Maribor in Slovenia ). She was the second child of the southern railway inspector Julius Unger and his wife Anna, née Landwehr. The family soon moved to Vienna , where Anna attended elementary school. The professional posting of the father in 1877 to Steinbrück (today Zidani most in Slovenia) required another move. Here Anna attended the simple local school for a short time before she entered the convent school with the Ursulines in Laibach (today Ljubljana in Slovenia).
In Laibach she frequented the house of her great uncle , the polymath Professor Karl Grünewald, whose daughter Henriette was a writer and wrote novels and dramas under the pseudonym "Harriet". Apparently something was “initiated” with Anna at the time, because she was now busy with literature. The appointment of her father as a section engineer in Mürzzuschlag made another change of location necessary.
