Life

Else Schobacher was born in Passau in 1887. She spent her youth in the Allgäu. In 1922 she married the pharmacist Ernst Eberhard and moved into the hood lock . The writer had her poet's room in one of the towers of the little castle . In this room the stories Mit Feder und Spaten and the local novel Der Sang is lost were created. Her plays include the one-act Badöfele . The poem Haubenschloßwinter referred to her house. Her other works include the stories Freund Igel and Wiesn when I was a child , these are being performed today through a regional theater project.

The author also distributed content with National Socialist ideology. In 1936 she wrote the Allgäu dialect Funkensonntag , with which she received the attention of National Socialist racial and cultural politicians. To the staunch racial hygienist Otto Merkt , this piece seemed predestined to preach the “National Socialist idea of ​​inheritance in humans, which has not yet gained a foothold in the Swabian people, and better than learned lectures.” The district culture warden Richard Knussert drew Else Eberhard-Schobacher for their work.

Else Eberhard-Schobacher survived the air raid on the castle on August 3, 1944, during which the building was badly damaged. The writer then placed a plaque with a message of peace in the palace garden.

The local poet died on March 9, 1955 as a result of a traffic accident in Kempten. In the Rotschlößle , the district library in Sankt Mang , an Eberhard Schobacher room has been set up with part of her estate. In 1997 a memorial was erected west of the Allgäu-Gymnasium . The Eberhard-Schobacher-Weg also reminds of the writer, which runs right next to her monument.
