Barbara Elisabeth Schubart

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barbara Elisabeth Schubart , also Barbara Elisabeth Schubert (baptized April 17, 1625 in Düben ; † between 1695 and 1716) was a German Christian poet.

Life

She was a daughter of the electoral Saxon magistrate to Düben Johann Schubart († around 1637) and Victoria Behle (1607–1665), daughter of the district judge from Torgau, who was married to him in 1623 . After the death of her husband in 1640, the mother married the subsequent magister Balthasar Brodkorb (1608–1662). Little Schubartin received her schooling together with her siblings through her father, possibly from private teachers and then her stepfather. On November 23, 1647, the Schubart woman married Balthasar Luppe, the son of the former mayor of Delitzsch . Where the couple then resided remains unknown; it was probably Leipzig.

This means that the entire subsequent life of the Schubartin is unknown. According to one source, she was later referred to as a widowed "Tschepplin", which means that she had entered into a second marriage. However, this designation may have served as an ironically prosaic self-designation even in her old age, since the name translated from the Slavic means “simple-minded”.

In the course of time, the poetically talented woman has evidently trained herself, which may have been done with the support, but certainly with the tolerance of her husband. In 1674 she published her first devotional book, which was followed by a second in 1695. Several poems are still known and published today. The Schubartin published her writings under her maiden name, perhaps in honor of her father, who died young and who gave her her first education.

Barbara Elisabeth Schubart was the only female poet in the Central German region in the 17th century and one of the very few at that time in all of Germany to go public with publications, which also required great business acumen.
