from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Else Croner (born May 4, 1878 in Beuthen OS , † December 20, 1942 in Berlin) was a German writer.

Life

Else Wollstein's father, a privy councilor and regional judge, was transferred to Breslau in 1882 , where she attended school and in 1896 passed the teacher’s exam. From 1897 to 1900 she studied German at the University of Wroclaw with Hermann Ebbinghaus , Friedrich Vogt and Koch and before graduating in 1901 she married the lawyer Johannes Croner, to whom she moved to Berlin. She was a lecturer at the Humboldt University . Later she lived in Flammersfeld . She published in 1911 under the name Else Croner-Kretschmer.

The subjects of her writings span a wide spectrum. In addition to novels, children's books and fairy tales, she also commented on educational topics and lifestyle issues in her publications. She advocated vocational training for girls. In 1913 she wrote a location for "The Modern Jewess". In an unspecified period of a few "years" before 1914, Croner must have converted to "Christianity". The magazine series "Psyche of the female youth", which was dedicated in book form to Eduard Spranger , had six editions between 1923 and 1935. The last expanded and revised edition was adapted to the Nazi terminology .

Croner lived in Berlin until about 1932, after 1935 she is lost and in 1942 she committed suicide.
