biography

Emmy comes from a patrician family in Bremen and was the daughter of the Bremen lawyer Karl Theodor Oelrichs (1804–1871) and his wife Caroline , b. Book (1823-1891).

Since she lost her father early, her mother's brother had a great influence on her spiritual development. The mother encouraged her to do more practical work, as was customary at the time. Emmy graduated from the secondary school for girls in Bremen, then retired to Darmstadt for a year before she went on many trips with her mother.

In August 1888 she married Hans von Winterfeld (1858–1918). The manor owner , who came from Brandenburg nobility , owned the Neuhof estates near Naugard in Pomerania and Warnow. After the marriage she lived there with their two children. From 1890 she published stories and poems, initially under the pseudonym E. v. Warnow . Her first novel, German Women in Difficult Times , was published in 1901. Kurd Schulz judged that it was more of an undemanding entertainment literature that was interesting in historical detail, but inadequate in terms of the way the people and the time were shaped. In addition to women's novels , which she also published in newspapers, she wrote dramas , ballads and popular books for young people. For her play Der Schimmelreiter she received the German Heimatspiele prize.

According to her own statements, her motto was: firm in faith, happy in hope, faithful in love . When asked for a self-assessment, she quoted a sentence from her work Die Frau Kastellanin : “The music with its violence always excited his soul in its depths, made all its pulses beat, but the poetry always used to calm him down; and especially when he had said what he felt in verse, it was as if he had done everything of himself that aroused him. "

She lived and worked in Freyenstein ( Ostprignitz-Ruppin district ) and later in Eberswalde, where she also died.
