life and work
Charlotte Ollendorff was the daughter of a lawyer who worked as a judge in the small Pomeranian town of Stolp and later as an appellate judge in Schöneberg near Berlin . In Schöneberg, Charlotte Ollendorff attended the Chamisso School from 1909, which she graduated after five years at Easter 1914; her father had already died then. In the winter semester 1914/15 Charlotte Ollendorff went to the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Berlin to study German ; In the course of her studies, she switched to history, especially the history of antiquity. In the winter semester of 1917/18 she moved to the University of Greifswald , where on January 30, 1919, with a thesis on the Roman Emperor Tiberius , which was supervised by Ernst Hohl , she became a Dr. phil. received his doctorate .
Since an academic career for women was hopeless at the time, Ollendorff switched to school service. On March 13, 1920, she passed the teaching examinations in Berlin in the subjects of history, Greek and Latin . She completed her preparatory service in Berlin at the Augusta School (1920/21) and at the Cecilienschule (1921/22). In 1922, she also published a four-page excerpt from her dissertation with a summary of the results in order to be able to use the doctorate. At that time she also wrote two articles about Livia Drusilla and Livilla , relatives of Tiberius, for Paulys Realenzyklopädie der Classical Antiquity (RE).
After the preparatory service and the assessor exam, Ollendorff did not get a job. She therefore took leave of absence from school and worked as a secretary at Verlag Urban & Schwarzenberg , a specialist medical publisher based in Berlin. There she met the widowed lecturer Max Gurland (1882–1925) and married him in September 1925 in Sonthofen . Gurland died there of leukemia on September 14th , and Charlotte Gurland from then on lived with his daughter, her stepdaughter Ingeborg Gurland (1913–1961). She studied English in the 1930s and devoted her doctoral thesis to her in 1938.
