Emmy Turk

Emmy Türk (born December 18, 1834 in Swinoujscie ; † October 25, 1900 in Libau in Kurland ) was a German author.

Life

origin

Emmy Eschricht was the daughter of the Danish consul in Swinoujscie JF Eschricht. Her father died before she was born. She was initially taught by private tutors in her mother's house. As a young girl, she spent six months in Copenhagen with her relative, Professor Daniel Frederik Eschricht (1798–1863).

career

After returning from Copenhagen, she married the officer Hugo Kreisler. After he had said goodbye to the military, he tried unsuccessfully in various ventures. The couple lived in Hohnstein , Weimar , and, where Kreisler returned to the Prussian Army , in Arolsen , as well as in Lübeck and Berlin . At the time of her divorce there , she published Scottish novels for the first time and, after taking lessons from Carl Julius Milde, created some woodcuts .

In Lübeck, Emmy married Carl Türk , whom she met as Emanuel Geibel's family doctor , in 1867. In Hüxstraße 36, the house of his apartment and practice, Emmy and Carl later had one together, as the memories of the actor Max Grube passed down, for this time very open-minded literary salon .

Hospital on Waisenhofallee

Emmy was involved in nursing. On July 18, 1870, she founded the "Lübeck Women's Association for the Care of Wounded and Sick Warriors", which initially consisted of seven members. The statutes of the Lübeck branch were confirmed on October 21, 1871 by the main association of the Patriotic Women's Association , which was chaired by the Empress . At the suggestion of the Empress out who gave Emperor , Wilhelm I , Miss Jenny's Place Man, Woman Surgeon Emmy door, Miss Friederike Elder , Miss Clementine von Faber, Mrs. Consul Lütjens, madam Baroness von Seidlitz and Mrs. President Kierulff in recognition of their services the Cross of Merit for Women and Virgins for the care of the wounded in the last war and had it sent by the Royal General Order Commission . The following year, Emmy was appointed head of the club. After the storm surge of 1872, she arranged for a collection for the lost fishing families . With the purchase of new fishing equipment , it should be made employable again. At the general assembly on March 10, 1874, when the association had almost 180 members, Emmy was confirmed in the position of the above. It was also delegated to the board meeting of the patriotic women's associations on March 22nd and 23rd in Berlin . On March 22, 1874, the birthday of the Kaiser, Emmy was awarded the war memorial for her achievements in the war in caring for the wounded. Since she had taken part in the war as a non-combatant, her coin was on the band, unlike that of the combatants made of steel on the non-combatant band . As was the case after the storm surge in 1876, collections were also made for those in need as a result of the great flooding in Silesia . The board of directors - consisting of the chairperson, Miss Julie Kierulff and Ms. Hauptmann A. v. Rüdgisch - announced on May 24th 1879 that the association intended to fulfill their wish to establish a people's kitchen in Lübeck in the form of a foundation to celebrate the golden wedding of the imperial couple . In 1882 she founded the women's trade school and was to lead it until 1894. The school, which still exists today, was named after Dorothea Schlözer in 1970 .

When Esmarch personally recommended his big cause to her on the occasion of his lecture in 1885, she, as the daughter of a shipowner, had been familiar with the nautical circles from her earliest youth, immediately understood what blessing the seamanship would bring from the instructions. When she was at the general assembly of the main association in Berlin in April 1885, she submitted the proposal to the empress to make this instruction binding at all seaman schools on the German coast. The empress then took the initiative and sent the Lübeck branch association money to purchase the teaching equipment.

After Carl's death, she was only to start writing again. Short stories, novels and short stories appeared under the pseudonym of her maiden name. She published other articles under her married name .

As a war veteran , Emmy was awarded the so-called centenary medal donated by the incumbent emperor for this purpose on the 100th anniversary of the birth of his grandfather in 1897 .

The Emperor founded in October 1898, the Red Cross Medal in three classes. On the occasion of his birthday, January 27, she was at the Lübeck citizens in 2nd class Miss Julie Kierulff, Mrs. Consul Behncke (born Fehling), senior physician woman Türk and Mr Landrichter a. D. Priess and in 3rd grade to Consul Possehl , Dr. Wichmann , Attorney Priess, Consul Rehder, Consul Marty, Dr. Hammerich, Dr. Hofstaetter, Physikus Riedel, Dr. Schorer and the businessman Schetelig .

Chair in the auditorium

As chairman of the association, Emmy attended the IV. Association Day of the Red Cross. from June 9th to 11th, 1899 in Heidelberg under the chairmanship of the Karlsruhe privy councilor Otto Sachs and the Munich major general a. D. v. Spull participated as his deputy. The greeting took place in the Alterthümerhalle , in which there were still traces of the singing festival held shortly before. The next day the lectures followed by discussions took place in the auditorium of Heidelberg University . It was debated whether the organ of the "Women's Association", which had been found in Lübeck for some time in the reading room of Niederegger , should be made more entertaining through fiction . Gustav Hauser spoke about “Nursing in the Country”. In the Academic Hospital , the medical team demonstrated their work on the battlefield after the battle. In the following lecture, Professor Szerny spoke, among other things, of the progress that the treatment of abdominal injuries had made in relation to the previous war. A final tableau in Heidelberg Castle concluded the conference.

A short time later, Emmy announced as chairwoman of the board that the board of the patriotic women's associations in Lübeck had agreed to train and lead nurses. In the future, you should not only be able to provide first aid in emergencies, but also to support the doctor according to his orders. In this way, following the Baden model, nursing in the countryside should be improved. The instruction in Samaritan service was nothing new in the Hanseatic city.

Physikus Riedel and Ms. Türk wrote messages about the history of the departments of the Lübeck Red Cross. In December 1899, after the Spanish-American War , they received diplomas of thanks from the Spanish government in recognition of their writing .

in the Kremlin

The last article by Emmy to appear in Lübeck, "Letter from Moscow" on September 9, 1900, came from her trip from Russia . At the beginning, they reported that a glance at the pass saw her though that she was old and the rigors of travel with the railway to Moscow would have grown no more, in the week published on August 25 article "On the borders to the best of our knowledge ”by Paul Schellhas , however, had encouraged them to carry out their project. In Moscow they were overwhelmed by the splendor of goldsmithing that was on display there, and the goldsmithing work of the Kremlin proved to be the crowning glory. Of these, ten goldsmiths were mentioned in the article, seven from Rostock and three from Lübeck. At the end of her article, she summed up her overall impression by quoting a Russian proverb . “ Only the Kremlin passes over Moscow, only the sky passes over the Kremlin. "

Emmy had apparently overestimated herself, contrary to her assumption at the beginning of the Moscow letter. On her way home, she fell ill with pneumonia . Emmy passed away during her unsuccessful recovery at her daughter's home in Libau .

family

After her return she married the officer Hugo Kreisler. She later divorced him in Berlin.

She met Carl Türk (1838–1890), son of the legal historian Carl Türk , in Lübeck , and married him in 1867. The later Rear Admiral Titus Türk and the writer Eva left the marriage . After a long stay in London , Eva was temporarily with the officer Wolf Ernst Hugo Emil von Baudissin married.
