Gretha Disciples
Gretha Jünger (born Gretha von Jeinsen , born March 14, 1906 in Hanover ; † November 20, 1960 in Wilflingen ) was a German author and wife of the poet Ernst Jünger . In his diaries, Jünger calls her Perpetua .
Life
The author "came from an impoverished aristocratic family from the country" and originally wanted to be an actress; It is known that she played Marthe from Heinrich von Kleist's The Broken Jug in the student theater group of her high school alongside Theo Lingen . From 1925 until her death in 1960 she was married to the writer Ernst Jünger (1895–1998); the wedding took place on August 3, 1925 in the Thomaskirche in Leipzig . The two sons Ernst (1926–1944) and Alexander (1934–1993) emerged from the marriage.
In 1949 the Hamburg publishing house Hans Dulk published a book entitled “The Palette”, which contains diary notes and letters from the period 1936 to 1946. In 1955 her autobiographical report “Silhouetten” was published by Günther Neske (Pfullingen), a volume with 29 stories. Read as autobiographical evidence, the books provide possible information about Jünger's life since the 1920s.
