Helene Adler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Helene Adler (born December 5, 1849 in Frankfurt am Main ; † December 2, 1923 there ) was a German writer and teacher.

Life

Helene Adler was born in Haus zum Rost 118 in Frankfurt's Judengasse . The poet Ludwig Börne was born here in 1786 , when the ghetto obligation had not yet been lifted. Adler's father, a community servant of the Israelite religious community, had bought the house. She attended the city's philanthropist until 1865 and passed the teacher examination in Wiesbaden in 1867 . Then she taught as a teacher and educator in the orphanage of the Frankfurt Israelite women's association. In 1882 she had to give up educational practice because of her poor health. Adler was a free thinker and propagated pacifism during the First World War.

From then on, Helene Adler worked as a writer. She not only wrote educational writings, but also became known as a Hessian dialect poet. In Frankfurt am Main, where she later lived in the Ostend at Scheidswaldstrasse 30, the Helene-Adler-Weg in the Kalbach-Riedberg district bears her name.
