Auguste disk
Amalie Auguste Scheibe (born January 23, 1824 in Dresden ; † February 6, 1898 in Blasewitz ) was a German writer and translator . She wrote under the pseudonym S. Augustin .
Life
The daughter of a Dresden craftsman, an active German Catholic, accompanied an English family as a governess on trips in 1847. In 1849 she was back in Dresden. She helped the Austrian democrat Ferdinand Kürnberger , who came to Dresden after the suppression of the Vienna Revolution and took part in the May uprising, to escape after his release from prison. Disk was instrumental in founding a women's association that set itself the task of helping families who lose their breadwinners due to the arrests after the Dresden May Uprising.
She was friends with Louise Otto-Peters (she wrote for their women's newspaper), Auguste Herz and Claire von Glümer . She had to give up running a kindergarten after being harassed by the police. In 1852 she left Dresden together with Claire von Glümer and they returned in 1859 after Claire's brother Bodo was pardoned. They lived together for over 30 years in Dresden, Naumannstr. 1, and took an active part in political and artistic life.
