Dorothea Stroschein
Dorothea Stroschein (born July 17, 1883 in Dirschau / West Prussia , † April 23, 1967 in Berlin-Spandau ) was a German painter.
Dorothea Stroschein was born in Dirschau, today's Tczew . Her father Johann Emil Stroschein was the owner of a pharmacy in Sopot , where she also spent her childhood. In 1892 he founded JE Stroschein, Chemische Fabrik KG., Berlin SO 36 , a chemical factory that was successful in the production of drugs against metabolic disorders based on its own patents . In the 1890s the family also moved to Berlin.
Dorothea Stroschein received her training in private lessons from a Berlin painter and drawing teacher Wendel and from the landscape painter Carl Scherres , the income from her father's factory made this possible. Study trips took her to the Mediterranean and Brazil. In 1928 she came to the island of Hiddensee for the first time and made the acquaintance of the painter Elisabeth Büchsel . She became a member of the Hiddensoer Künstlerinnenbund , which had its home in the Blue Barn in Vitte. Since she was not financially dependent on the sale of her pictures, exhibitions of her outside of the Blue Barn are not documented.
During the two world wars Dorothea Stroschein worked as a sister of the Red Cross and later also in welfare work in Berlin. During the time of National Socialism , when the so-called German art , which was brought into line, was propagated, she was a member of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts in Berlin. She died in 1967 and was buried in Berlin-Schöneberg .
“[...] No new paths in art are to be expected from Dorothea Stroschein; Her pictures reflect the colorful beauty of the island in the Baltic Sea in an impressionistic way. Sometimes they are painted with a dry brush as a symbol of the barren land. [...] "
