Life
The daughter of Ingolstadt doctor and newspaper publisher Ludwig Liebl studied newspaper science and economics at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich after graduating from high school in Reuchlin . During this time she also got to know the corps student Wilhelm Reissmüller . In 1935, he managed the takeover of the conservative-Catholic Ingolstädter Zeitung for the NSDAP- Kampfblatt Donaubote, which belonged to her father, as part of the National Socialist harmonization of the press landscape. In 1937 she married Reissmüller and, like him, became a full partner in her father's publishing and bookselling company, the printing and publishing company Donaubote San. Ludwig Liebl and A. Ganghofer'sche Buchhandlung, general partnership . Her husband became the publishing director there and remained so until the end of the war. After that, due to denazification and the license obligation introduced by the Allies, the resumption of publishing activities was dependent on the license holder Joseph Lackas . But as early as 1951, the Reissmüllers were able to run the company, now called Donau Kurier Verlagsgesellschaft, A. Ganghofer'sche Buchhandlung and Courier Druckhaus KG , completely on their own. Elin Reissmüller actively supported her husband, who developed the paper into one of the highest-circulation Bavarian daily newspapers. After his death in 1993 she took over the sole management of the company. In 1998 her grandson Georg Schäff joined the company and was co-editor from 2004.
Like her husband, Elin Reissmüller promoted art and got involved with disabled and needy people.
