Carola Bruch-Sinn
Carola Bruch-Sinn , née Karoline Sinn , (born January 13, 1853 in Olmütz , Moravia , † November 1, 1911 in Vienna ) was an Austrian writer, translator and editor. She published under the pseudonym Adele von Drachenfels and under the names Carola , Saldau and Sphinx .
Life
Karoline Sinn was born as the daughter of the Austrian staff officer Sinn in Olomouc in Moravia. Her father was often transferred; therefore, Bruch-Sinn left Moravia as a child and grew up in Hungary for eight years and then in a small town near Prague . Since there was no German school in the city, Bruch-Sinn was educated by private teachers. However, this was not suitable "to lay the groundwork for a good scientific education", so that Bruch-Sinn trained himself further in adulthood.
Bruch-Sinn moved with her parents to Linz and later to Komorn , where she married Major Bruch in 1873. With him she went to Spalato , Graz and Vienna, where they finally settled down. In Vienna, Bruch-Sinn began working as an editor for various newspapers in 1880, in which she also published poems and prose pieces she had written herself. From 1886 to 1888 she edited The House Book of German Poetry and in 1889 was responsible for editing the women's salon , a supplement to the magazine Junge Kikeriki . From 1889 to 1892 she worked as an editor for the German banner bearer . Her husband died in 1893. From 1897 until her death she was in charge of the Vienna Almanac published by J. Jäger . She died in Vienna on November 1, 1911.
