Life

Childhood, youth, education

Charlotte E. Pauly was born as the daughter of the major tenant Adolf Pauly and his wife Marie. She attended the girls' boarding school in Bolkenhain and the Realgymnasium in Breslau . After graduating in zoology , she studied art history , classical archeology , literary history and philosophy in Heidelberg , Berlin and Freiburg from 1909 to 1915 . In 1915 Pauly received his doctorate in Würzburg on the subject of the Venetian pleasure garden. His development and his relationship to Venetian painting (published in 1916 by Heitz Verlag, Strasbourg ). In 1913/1914 she undertook research trips through Italy for this purpose. This is where the plan to become a painter arose. In 1917 she studied at the Stuttgart School of Applied Arts with Bernhard Pankok .

to travel

After a few years in the Giant Mountains at home , Pauly undertook extensive trips to Spain in 1925/26 and 1928/29, where she became a student of the painter Daniel Vázquez Díaz (1882–1969) in Madrid and translated Federico García Lorca into German, among others . In 1928 The Happy Peninsula , a book with her travel records, was published. From the late summer of 1929 she stayed in Nazaré , Portugal , with interruptions until February 1932 . From there she embarked on a major trip to the Orient, which until December 1932 took her through Greece , Lebanon , Palestine , Syria , Iraq and Persia as well as through the south of the Soviet Union .

Years in Agnetendorf

In 1933 she took part in a major exhibition in Breslau. At the beginning of the defamation by the National Socialists, she was excluded from the artist association and was banned from exhibiting. After returning to Silesia, Pauly moved to Agnetendorf in 1933 . There she befriended Gerhart Hauptmann and his wife Margarete . She made illustrations for Hauptmann's Isle of the Great Mother . After Hauptmann's death on June 6, 1946, Pauly was able to travel from Agnetendorf, which had become Polish, on the special train that brought the poet's body to the Soviet occupation zone and settled in the East Berlin district of Berlin-Friedrichshagen .

Berlin years

In Berlin, Pauly made contact with numerous fine artists from the GDR , including Dieter Goltzsche , Egmont Schaefer and Sella Hasse . This is followed by trips to England, Switzerland, Hungary, Bulgaria and the Federal Republic of Germany. In 1958 she made the acquaintance of the graphic artist Herbert Tucholski and developed a series of prints with travel impressions as motifs. In old age she experienced broader public recognition for the first time and was able to show her works in numerous exhibitions. Copies of her literary work circulated among her large circle of friends and acquaintances, which included the writer Johannes Bobrowski and the songwriter Wolf Biermann as well as those mentioned above . In the last years of her life, Pauly was “something of an institution” in East Berlin.

Berlin posthumously honored Pauly when in 1998 a new street in Friedrichshagen between Aßmannstrasse and Müggelseedamm was named Charlotte-E.-Pauly-Strasse .
