biography
Biedrzynski was called the "Grande Dame" of Goethe and Weimar literature in specialist circles. She grew up in Schweina and Bad Liebenstein and dealt with the subject of Goethe and Weimar at an early age . This interest intensified through her marriage to the Berlin private scholar and philosopher Dr. Oswald Bendemann 1934. He was a great-grandson of the sculptor and graphic artist Johann Gottfried Schadow and fell in the last days of the war in 1945 between Posen and Thorn. At the latest through his family and the "grandmother" Hedwig Bendemann, born in Weimarer Südstrasse, who lives in Berlin. Krüger, then also at home in Weimar, Effi Biedrzynski was considered one of the best connoisseurs of the great classical times of this city.
Biedrzynski also became famous for her Goethe calendar in the form of a pocket calendar, which she published from 1964 to 2003: “With Goethe through the year”. For this calendar, which was published by Artemis Verlag in Zurich and Munich, she took care of the selection, the notes and the list of sources. The calendar regularly reached an annual circulation of 40,000 copies.
Biedrzynski lived and worked in Stuttgart for half a century. She died there in 2004 at the age of 94.
