Annemarie Seidel

Annemarie Seidel (born November 28, 1894 in Braunschweig , † August 30, 1959 in Munich ) was a German actress and editor .

Life

Annemarie Seidel, called Mirl, was a younger sister of the writer Ina Seidel (1885–1974). When she was just under a year old, her family left Braunschweig, where Annemarie Seidel was born. Her father, Hermann Seidel , committed suicide in November 1895. The cause was presumably an impending disciplinary procedure against the doctor because of incorrect treatments. The family first moved to Marburg and later to Munich . Annemarie Seidel made a career there as an actress at the beginning of the Weimar Republic . During this time she met Carl Zuckmayer , with whom she lived in 1921/22. Critically ill, she then had to leave Zuckmayer's damp basement apartment at Matthäikirchstrasse  4 - the writer Julius Elias lived in the same house  . Your “savior” in this situation was the Dutch millionaire and musicologist Anthony van Hoboken . He became Annemarie Seidel's first husband. This marriage lasted from 1922 to 1932. In 1935 she married Peter Suhrkamp . The marriage with Peter Suhrkamp suffered from Annemarie Seidel's alcoholism in the later years . The divorce had already been decided, but Suhrkamp died on March 31, 1959, two days before the court hearing. Annemarie Seidel died just a few months later.

Annemarie Seidel worked for Suhrkamps Verlag as an editor. She also translated Truman Capote's novel Die Grasharfe by Truman Capote into German together with Friedrich Podszus .

Correspondence

Annemarie Seidel and Carl Zuckmayer remained on friendly terms for many years. Their correspondence lasted until 1957. It was published in 2003.

The publication of letters from Peter Suhrkamp to his wife under the title Letters to Mirl was planned for May 2009 . The letters date from 1935 to Peter Suhrkamp's death in 1959. They were considered lost for a long time. Letters from Annemarie Seidel to Peter Suhrkamp had not been found by then. In May 2009, however, the editor Wolfgang Schopf found more than 40 letters from Annemarie Seidel to her husband from April 1944 to February 1945. Thus, the Letters to Mirl project was expanded at the last moment.
