Eva von Arnim

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eva Adelheid von Arnim-Fredenwalde (born September 17, 1863 in Groß Fredenwalde , † July 30, 1938 in Alt Temmen ) was a German writer who worked in Berlin and Brandenburg.

Life

Eva von Arnim was the younger sister of the classical philologist Hans von Arnim . She grew up as the only daughter of the manor owner Friedrich von Arnim and his wife Adelheid, nee. from Arnim-Milmersdorf to Gut Groß Fredenwalde . As was customary at the time, as a senior daughter she probably did not receive her own school or university education. She was probably taught by private tutors, pastors and educators in foreign languages, conversation, painting, literature and handicrafts. Like other women of her class, she was supposed to marry a noble manor or officer at the age of about 20. At the beginning of the eighties of the 19th century she suffered severe personal blows of fate. Her engagement to a guard officer in Berlin broke up due to family rejection and she had to survive a serious illness. Since then she has remained unmarried and lived with her mother in Berlin and in the “Schweizerhaus” in Alt Temmen until her death in 1929. Eva died in 1938 at the age of 75.

Writing

Based on the sources, it is no longer possible to understand how Eva's writing skills developed. Your entire estate was destroyed in 1945 when Russian troops marched into Groß Fredenwalde. According to family tradition, she was friends with Theodor Fontane and is said to have provided him with material for a volume "Uckermark" of the walks through the Mark Brandenburg . However, because of Fontane's death, this tape was no longer produced. Eva's connection to Fontane's work and his world of thought also seems to have been pronounced later. In 1910 the first version of the correspondence between Fontane and his longtime friend and travel companion, the Prussian officer and writer Bernhard von Lepel, was published by Fontane's son Friedrich . In 1912 the first volume of a series of German landscape descriptions was published under the title "Deutsche Erde" about the Jülich region by Friedrich Fontane in Berlin, also under Eva's editorial activity. Eva von Arnim's well-preserved and well-known literary work includes an art fairy tale (the fairy tale of the golden key, 1892), a novella (Hallali, 1892) and a novel (Dem Tag gegen 1898). The individual works are based on the model Theodor Fontane and poetic realism .
