Emilie Tegtmeyer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emilie Tegtmeyer , Leopoldine Emilie Ernestine Tegtmeyer, called Emmy, (born January 5, 1827 in Hornsmühlen , Holstein; † February 16, 1903 in Bremen ) was a German writer and teacher.

biography

Tegtmeyer was the child of the paper manufacturer Jost Georg Tegtmeyer and Ernestine Catharina Leopoldine Tegtmeyer geb. Spethmann. The paper mill had existed since 1685 and was in operation until 1865. She received private tuition in her parents' house and after confirmation was sent to her brother-in-law, Pastor Friedrich Daniel Binge in Kellinghusen , for a few years for further training . For six years she was a teacher in various families.

After that she lived in Bremen, Petristraße 5, with her aunt Anna Margaretha Iken born. Tegtmeyer (born May 9, 1794 in Hornsmühlen; † July 8, 1862 in Bremen), who since April 28, 1821 with Hermann Heinrich Arnold lken (born June 13, 1792 in Bremen; † March 29, 1872 in Bremen), author of direct taxes in the city of Bremen, was married. Margaretha was a sister of Emilie's father Jost Georg Tegtmeyer.

After the death of her aunt Margaretha, she ran the house of her widowed uncle until 1872. When he died in 1872, she and her friend Julie Rodowe, who was a teacher like her, moved into a shared apartment in Bremen, 1873 at Schillerstraße 24, 1875 to 1879 Besselstraße 74, then Fesenfeldt 21g. In 1902 she was referred to in the Bremen address book as a “writer”, previously she had stated her profession as “teacher”.

Tegtmeyer wrote historical novels. Twice (1862 and 1868) she published works about the Kaiserbrüder , but they were two different couples. In her first four-volume work, she writes about King Friedrich the Beautiful (around 1286–1330) and his cousin Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian (1287–1347). The storyline of the novel takes place in the years 1314 to 1330. Friedrich der Schöne and Ludwig der Bayer fight for possession of the imperial crown. The battle of Mühldorf (1322) brought a decision. After all, as “brothers emperor” they rule the empire together.

Tegtmeyer's later work Die Kaiserbrüder. Poetry and Truth from Recent History (1868) was about the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I and his brother Maximilian I of Mexico († 1867).

Tegtmeyer once again benefited the Austrian imperial family from her knowledge: in 1891, on behalf of Johann Georg Lohmann's wife, she designed the work Memoirs from the Life of Johann Georg Lohmann and used parts of Maximilian I's travelogue , in which he spoke about a visit to Bahia reported to the Austrian consul Lohmann.

The work The Mayor's Daughter exploited research work by lawyer Dr. A. Kühtmann on the mayor of Bremen, Statius Speckhan , which are published in the twelfth volume of the Bremen yearbook.

The work Die Blutsaat is about the murder of the Bremen reformer Heinrich von Zütphen . Emilie Tegtmeyer used information from the reformer's biography, which was written in 1886 by Pastor JF Iken.

Of Tegtmeyer's smaller writings, the volume with the stories Der Schiffer von Sylt and Eine Perle am weg is remarkable because of the description of the inhabitants of Sylt .

In the poem Der Nachtliche Ritt she describes the rescue of the Danish king Waldemar II , who was thoroughly defeated in the battle of Bornhöved in 1227 by Count Adolf von Holstein with the help of the Archbishop of Bremen and the Ditmarschen . As the legend goes, the Blessed Virgin assisted the Count in battle by holding her veil in front of the sun so that the Holsteiners fought in the shade while the sunlight blinded the Danes. The poem is based on the same legend and describes the rescue of the wounded king by his noble enemy, Count Adolf von Holstein. The count brought the wounded king to Kiel on a night ride.
