Life

Auguste Ernestine Jenny Karoline Isidore Beer was the daughter of Major General Georg von Zastrow and his wife Olga, geb. Lindemann, a daughter of the Schwerin gas works owner Johann Georg Friedrich Lindemann (1805–1872). August's siblings were:

  • Alexander Georg von Zastrow (born June 6, 1882 in Lübben , † February 19, 1946 in Hamburg ), private scholar and sculptor in Seedorf;
  • Georg Ottokar Hermann von Zastrow (born August 25, 1884; † unknown);
  • Ottokar Albrecht Arnold von Zastrow (born January 25, 1887 in Görlitz , † April 17, 1888 in Hirschberg in Silesia );
  • Hans Georg Ernst von Zastrow (born August 20, 1892; † unknown);
  • Dorothea Adelheid Martha Friederike von Zastrow (born June 14, 1894 in Lübben; † unknown).

She grew up in Mannheim from 1897 to 1900 and in Mainz from 1900 to 1904 .

From 1906 to 1909 she attended the lithographic class of the female artists' association of the Munich Women's Academy for Graphic Arts, of which the impressionist painter Moritz Heymann had been the director since 1902 . There she acquired a thorough anatomical and constructive knowledge of the human body. She learned to master the color material from 1909 to 1910 in the Munich painting school from Hermann Groeber , who had also been a teacher of life drawing since 1907 and professor at the Munich Academy since 1911 . She described Albert Weisgerber's later lessons at the women's academy as quite unsatisfactory because, in her opinion, he forced his own painting style too much on his students.

On January 2, 1914, she married the Berlin Secession painter Erich Emil Beer (born July 6, 1880 in Hammerstein ; † October 2, 1918) in Berlin-Friedenau . He had enrolled in the drawing class at the Munich Academy in 1905. In 1915 he volunteered as a medic for service in the First World War . For this reason, Auguste moved to live with her mother, who owned a house on her sister Ida's estate in Seedorf . After her husband fell, she stayed there permanently, but traveled to Berlin annually to keep in touch with current art. Later she helped her brother Alexander at the archaeological work to the study of Stone Age Schaalsee culture around Seedorf .

She was in correspondence with the sculptor Georg Kolbe .

Nothing is known about her further life and the whereabouts of her works.
