Ida Bindschedler (born July 6, 1854 in Zurich ; † June 28, 1919 there ) was a Swiss teacher and author of children's and young people's books .

Life

Ida Bindschedler was the daughter of the Swiss cotton merchant Friedrich Rudolf Bindschedler and Anna Elisabeth born. Tauber from Fürth ( Bavaria ). She grew up in a sheltered upper-class environment in Zurich and trained as a teacher in Küsnacht ZH and Bern - where she was a student of her future sponsor Joseph Viktor Widmann . As a primary school teacher and after additional training and a language stay in Paris, she taught at the Tobler private girls' school in Zurich for 24 years.

She shared the apartment with her sister Pauline Bindschedler for many years until she had to give up her job due to a heart condition in 1897 and moved to Augsburg to live with her friend Emma Wachter , where she spent the rest of her life.

There she processed her memories of her childhood in Zurich in the youth stories Die Turnachkinder im Sommer and Die Turnachkinder im Winter , which, alongside Johanna Spyri, made her probably the most famous Swiss author of children's books. The main story of the Turnach children in summer takes place in the "Seeweid" (the summer house "Solitüde", built around 1700 by the family of the governor Mathias Landolt, stood until 1924 on the property of today's Museum Bellerive on the corner of Höschgasse) in Zurich's Riesbach district , when it was still there was out of town. Today there is a street named after the author. The story of the Turnach children in winter takes place mainly in the old town of Zurich at today's Weinplatz 7. In 1919, their third book Die Leuenhofer was published , which, however, no longer achieved the success of the Turnach children .

Ida Bindschedler remained single and had no children. She died during a stay in Zurich and was buried in the Erlenbach cemetery on Lake Zurich. A portrait appeared in the Neue Zürcher Zeitung on the occasion of her 100th birthday .

The southernmost section of Seefeldstrasse in Zurich's Seefeld is named after Ida Bindschelder.
