Christine Nöstlinger (2012)

Christine Nöstlinger (* 13. October 1936 in Vienna - Hernals ; † 28. June 2018 in Vienna- Ottakring ) was an Austrian writer who is considered one of the most important German-language children's books authors. For her work she has been awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Prize and the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Prize , among others .

Life

Christine Nöstlinger, b. Draxler, described himself as a “wild and angry child”, but put that into perspective in her memories: “I was much 'cheekier' than others my age and protested violently when I didn't like something, and that had a simple reason: us [my older sister Elisabeth and I, note] were the only children far and wide who did not get any slaps or punishments at home. It's easy to get angry and wild. "

She came from a working-class family: the father Walter Göth († 1975) was a watchmaker, the mother Michaela a kindergarten teacher. As socialists, both suffered from National Socialism . Her mother had difficulties taking early retirement due to illness in order not to have to indoctrinate the children entrusted to her with National Socialist songs and ideas. Nöstlinger's relationship with her mother was difficult, but her father was her “everything”. She said of him: "My father's love is present in everything I do."

She passed the Matura and initially wanted to be a painter, but then studied commercial graphics at the Academy of Applied Arts . After the first marriage, which was divorced in 1959, shortly after the birth of her daughter, she married the journalist Ernst Nöstlinger († 2009) in 1959 and had a second daughter (* 1961).

From 1970 she published a large number of books for children and young people, but also dialect poems and cookbooks. In addition, she worked for several years for the daily newspapers Kurier and Daily Everything as well as for the weekly newspaper The whole week and published columns and glosses, which also appeared in book form, wrote scripts for the ORF and moderated her own programs on ORF radio.

In May 2015, she gave a speech on racism and xenophobia at the commemorative event marking the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Mauthausen concentration camp in the historic meeting room of the Austrian parliament.

Christine Nöstlinger's grave

Most recently Christine Nöstlinger lived alternately in Vienna- Brigittenau (20th district) and on a farm in Altmelon in the Lower Austrian Waldviertel .

In June 2018 Christine Nöstlinger declared that she would no longer write children's books because of her own advanced age and because she no longer understood “today's children” who sit on their smartphones for a long time and read fantasy .

In 2010 Christine Nöstlinger was diagnosed with uterine cancer . She had previously survived breast cancer . The long-time smoker also suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease .

Christine Nöstlinger was buried on July 13, 2018 in the Hernalser Friedhof (group 13, number 6) in Vienna. According to her request, her death was only published afterwards.

"If someone has something to do as urgently as I did back then, if someone is so angry and angry, then he cannot really die because he has no peace." With this quote from Rosa Riedl, protective ghost, from the work of Christine Nöstlinger The author Julya Rabinowich finished her obituary, which was published under the title Herrliche Grantlerin .

In March 2019, the district representative meeting in Vienna- Hernals decided to rename Lidlpark to Nöstlinger-Park . In September 2019, the Vienna City Council Committee for Culture and Science decided to name a street in Vienna- Floridsdorf in the area of ​​Donaufelder Straße 77, in front of the Donaufeld campus, in Christine-Nöstlinger-Gasse .

Artistic creation

Christine Nöstlinger is one of the best-known and most influential children's book authors in the German-speaking area with over 100 books. Her work has been translated into numerous languages ​​and has been awarded internationally renowned prizes (Hans Christian Andersen Medal, Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award).

Her literary work began with the children's book Die feuerrote Friederike, published in 1970 , which was originally illustrated by herself, then in an edition published in 1997 by her older daughter, Barbara Waldschütz. This book was originally a picture book, the story was added later. Her second daughter, Christiane Nöstlinger, also illustrates children's books part-time.

In her books, Christine Nöstlinger deals primarily with children's needs and takes up questions of authority and emancipation . Numerous negative and positive outsider figures appear in her works , in which she shows, for example, the problem of loneliness (The Exchange Child), the search for identity (Gretchen Sackmeier) or the pubertal crisis of meaning (Ilse Janda, 14) . In the spirit of the "realistic children's and youth literature" emerging in the 1970s, she repeatedly presented her parents' marital problems in her family stories - a controversial novelty in children's and youth literature at the time.

Political and socially critical aspects characterize Christine Nöstlinger's literary work in a special way. In this regard, her own childhood during the Second World War (worked through in Maikäfer flieg! And Two Weeks in May ) was formative . In Wir pfeifen auf den Gurkenkönig and Rosa Riedl Schutzgespenst she paints a grotesque picture of everyday (family) fascism . One of their most pressing issues is resistance to arrogance, oppression and injustice in any form. In recent years she has given up the revolutionary didactic impetus of her stories in favor of a more comforting tone. She no longer expects literature to have an educational effect.

In addition to her standard German works, she also published some works in dialect, such as the volume of poetry Iba de gaunz oaman kinda published in 1974 ( reissued as Iba de gaunz oamen Leit in 1994 and 2009; this volume also contains the poetry cycles Iba da gaunz oamen Fraun and Iba de gaunz oamen Mauna ). Nöstlinger consciously used the Viennese dialect as a literary medium of expression. She also read dialect poems by other authors, u. a. that of Christine Busta . In general, her texts - novels, essays, newspaper columns and poetry - are tinged with everyday Viennese language as well as word inventions and delightfully composed artificial language ( Dschi Dsche-i Dschunior , Wir pfeifen auf den Gurkenkönig). This initially brought her incomprehension and criticism, but is now recognized and valued as her specific language style. In this respect, too, her work had both a polarizing and a formative effect on the development of German-language children's and youth literature.

In the 1990s and 2000s, Nöstlinger also published three cookbooks : With two cooking spoons on the left, A dog came into the kitchen and The Kitchen ABC.
