Live and act
Elisabeth Lindemann was a daughter of the Landtag member Otto Lindemann (1849-1924) and his wife Anna Margarethe, née Dorn (1857-1916). From the age of 18 to 21 she attended a drawing school in Dresden and was trained as a model draftsman. 1900/01 she learned in Fritz Kleinhempel's private studio and then worked until 1902 in the design studio for handicrafts at the Anna Kühn company . Then she went back to her hometown and moved from there to Sweden . Here she attended the weaving school " Handarbetets vänner " run by Agnes Branting (1862–1930) .
In 1902 Lindemann founded a museum weaving mill in Meldorf , whose weaving mill and museum she ran herself until 1907. On June 10th of the same year she married the artist Wenzel Hablik , with whom she had two daughters. Then she moved to Itzehoe, where she lived and worked. She ran her business there as the "Hablik-Lindemann hand weaving mill". During the First World War, it was a small company that quickly gained international fame.
In 1912, Hablik-Lindemann joined the German Werkbund . As a weaver, she tried to bring traditional weaving techniques closer to contemporary tastes through unconventional color choices and patterns and to produce fabrics that met the highest standards. She managed to work creatively and to combine this with a sense of the practical. Your workshop played a decisive role in the fact that the German weaving trade gained a new reputation. She was considered by experts as the "mother of hand weaving".
Elisabeth Hablik-Lindemann died on August 15, 1960 in Itzehoe and was buried with her husband in her family's private forest cemetery in Nordhastedt . The Wenzel Hablik Museum , named after her husband, dedicated an exhibition to her in 2009.
Her daughter brought the workshop equipment to the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Puducherry , where she continued to produce Elisabeth Hablik-Lindemann's designs as Hablik Handicraft .
