Eleonore Feuerbach

Eleonore Feuerbach (also known as Leonore Feuerbach ) (born September 25, 1839 in Bruckberg near Ansbach , Middle Franconia ; † June 23, 1923 in Munich ) was a German writer and daughter of the philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach.

Life

Eleonore Feuerbach was the first child of the philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach (1804–1872) and his wife Bertha, b. Löw (1803-1883) born. Her sister Mathilde, who was born in Bruckberg in 1842, died in 1844 as a child. Together with her cousin Luise and her cousin Anselm Ludwig, the children of her deceased uncle Eduard August Feuerbach (1803–1843), she received elementary school lessons from private tutors in Bruckberg Castle. She accompanied her father on trips and excursions from an early age, for example in the autumn of 1867 to Goisern in the Salzkammergut to see her befriended farmer philosopher Konrad Deubler (1814–1884).

After Ludwig Feuerbach's second stroke in 1870, which made him dependent on outside help, especially with regard to communication , it was Eleonore Feuerbach who supported her father's correspondence with his friends and acquaintances with precise knowledge of his views.

After the death of her father in 1872, Eleanor arranged his written estate . She first presented some of her father's letters to the journalist and philosopher Karl Grün , for his publication: Ludwig Feuerbach in his correspondence and estate . 2 vols. CF Winter, Leipzig / Heidelberg 1874 available. In the spring of 1874 she sent the bust made by Johann Daniel Schreitmüller during the philosopher's lifetime to Bad Goisern to Konrad Deubler, where the Feuerbach bust can still be seen in the local museum today. In 1876 she handed over her father's written estate to the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg , where Wilhelm Bolin was able to use it for the publication: Ludwig Feuerbach - His Work and His Contemporaries , Verlag der JG Cotta'schen Buchhandlung, Stuttgart 1891.

In 1879 she published the book: Ludwig Feuerbach in Otto Wigand Verlag . Quotes from his works collected by Leonore Feuerbach . In 1887 she received her father's estate back from the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, only to transfer it to the Munich University Library in 1919 with the following letter of donation:

"I take the liberty of sending the following small remnants from my father's handwritten estate to your address, with the sincere request that you will kindly incorporate them into your fireproof manuscript asylum. The accommodation of the small package will probably not involve any difficulties; thank you in advance for the kind acceptance and regret having to bother you. "

Essential parts of today's Feuerbach research are based on this correspondence and this written legacy in Munich.

From Bruckberg via Nuremberg (Rechenberg) and Bad Aibling , Eleonore Feuerbach found her last life in Munich. After a severe stroke in the summer of 1922, she died there on June 23, 1923. Her urn was buried in the Feuerbach's grave at the Johannis cemetery in Nuremberg.
