Eva van Hoboken , stage name Eva Boy (born July 28, 1905 in Fiesole ( Tuscany ); died December 3, 1987 in Zurich ), was a German writer .

Life

Eva Helene Mathilde Wilhemina's mother Carolina (1869–1938) had separated from her husband Georg Schuster-Woldan (1865–1933) and their three children and in 1905 moved to Tuscany to live with the painter Conrad Hommel . Eva Hommel was legitimized after her parents married in Munich in 1908 , but the father soon moved on and Eva grew up with her mother. Conrad Hommel's sister was the mother "Mimi" of Albert Speer , who was born in the same year.

At the age of eighteen, "Eva Boy", as she now called herself, became an expressive dancer in Munich, was modeled by the sculptor Fritz Koelle , portrayed by the painter Johann Benjamin Godron (cover picture of the magazine Jugend , No. 2/1928) and in 1924 one fell new father figure, Lion Feuchtwanger , who is over twenty years his senior . As Feuchtwanger and his wife Marta in 1925 moved to Berlin, Eva Boy moved to Berlin and began writing that they attach next to the dance under the guidance of Feuchtwanger small feature contributions Berliner Tageblatt , Berliner Börsen-Courier , pace and the Munich-based magazine press could accommodate .

On March 30, 1933, Boy and Anthony van Hoboken , who had previously divorced Annemarie Seidel , married. Boy now took her husband's name on a permanent basis and received Dutch citizenship . Marta and Lion Feuchtwanger had previously organized the engagement party. Feuchtwanger had returned to Europe on March 8, 1933 from a lecture tour in the USA, but could no longer enter Germany; the SA had already ravaged his house on Mahlerstrasse. His works fell victim to the book burning , and his name appeared on the first list of expatriation from Hitler Germany in the summer of 1933 . A literary fruit of this time was Feuchtwanger's novel Die Geschwister Oppermann , in which “Dr. Gustav Oppermann "the dancer" Sybil Rauch "educates," her lover and uncle at the same time ", Hoboken was not only flattered in the characterization.

The relationship with Feuchtwanger - his "new one" in France was Eva Herrmann - has now loosened up, but as a pen friend it lasted a lifetime. The Feuchtwangers fled to Sanary-sur-Mer , the Hobokens moved to Vienna . The son Tony was born there on June 21, 1937. After the " Anschluss of Austria " in 1938, they left Greater Germany and moved to Lausanne, Switzerland . In 1940 Lion and Martha Feuchtwanger had to flee Europe to the USA. Eva van Hoboken's father Conrad Hommel became a portrait painter of the Nazi greats and was included by Hitler in August 1944 on the God-gifted list of the most important artists.

After the war, Hoboken traveled twice to Feuchtwanger in Los Angeles , who had moved into Villa Aurora in November 1943 , in 1946 and 1949. Hoboken now tried to publish her own works, which she succeeded only partially and with publishing efforts. In 1953 she attended a lecture given by the Zen scholar Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki at an Eranos conference in Ronco . As a result, she went on a study trip to Japan and dealt with Zen and now went her own literary paths, independent of Feuchtwanger.

The correspondence with Feuchtwanger went as a legacy to Eugen Gomringer after her death . It was published in 1996 with comments.
