Life
The teacher's daughter Franziska Hager initially worked as a primary school teacher in Prien a. Chiemsee , Bernbeuren and Munich. After her early retirement for health reasons in 1904, she lived as a freelance writer in Munich. Her apartment there became a meeting place for artists, intellectuals and writers during the war. During this time, she also met her mentor and later partner Franz Xaver Osterrieder , with whom she lived from 1920 until his death.
plant
Franziska Hager first appeared publicly with dramas, including Die Priesterin (1917) and Abigail (1919). Her opera libretto Thamar (1922) was set to music by Wilhelm Mauke , as were some of her poems. She gained greater fame and her reputation as a local Chiemgau writer in the 1920s with autobiographical prose ( Der Dorfschullehrer , 1923; Schulmeisterkinder , 1929) as well as local and cultural-historical works such as An der Herdflamme der Heimat (1927). Her two thousand-page main work, a folklore cultural history of the Chiemgau with the title Meine Erde , on which she wrote for almost ten years from 1934, remained unpublished.
