Live and act
For Gertrude Clorius Schwebell, other sources, such as the German National Library and the Kalliope Association, give no date of death and the year of birth 1910, which, however, given her place of birth and the well-known biographies of her father, the Evangelical Lutheran pastor and author Otto Clorius , and her brother, the Jurist Carl Theodor Clorius , seems unlikely. Afterwards, the father returned to Mecklenburg from the USA in 1903 and stayed with his family in Germany until his death in 1943.
Gertrude Clorius Schwebell thus probably grew up as a toddler in Mecklenburg and from 1908 in Neubrandenburg . All that is known about her further life is that she went back to the USA in 1947 and became a well-known translator and editor of German literature in New York , including translating and editing the anthology Contemporary German Poetry - An Anthology , in which she also worked contributed to Bertolt Brecht . Letters and other documents of her include also part of the loud Kalliope composite Vorlasses of Höllerer been.
