Ilse Frapan , actually Elise Therese Levien , from 1901 Ilse Frapan-Akunian , (born February 3, 1849 in Hamburg , † December 2, 1908 in Geneva , Switzerland ) was a German writer , in her day primarily as the author of numerous volumes “ Hamburger Novellen "known. But she also wrote novels on contemporary women's issues . Her pseudonym was Ilse Frapan .

Life

Ilse Levien was born as the daughter of the instrument maker Carl Heinrich Eduard Levien and his wife Maria Therese Antoinette, b. Gentzsch was born in Hamburg. The name “Levien” (also “Lévien”) is due to the family's Franco- Huguenot origins. After her teacher examination , Ilse Frapan worked as a teacher at the Hamburg Paulsenstift from 1868 to 1879 . In the fall of 1883 she went to Stuttgart with her friend Emma Mandelbaum , where she heard literature lectures from Friedrich Theodor Vischer at the Stuttgart Polytechnic . After the death of Vischer, to whom she was on friendly terms, she moved to Munich in 1887. There she had contacts with authors such as Paul Heyse and Julius Rodenberg .

In 1890 she went to Hamburg, in 1892 to Zurich . Here she studied botany and zoology at the University of Zurich from the winter semester 1892/93 to June 1897 and worked for various journals. In 1898 she met the Armenian teacher and writer Iwan Akunoff, who was believed to be the model for the character of Hovannessian in her novel Arbeit (1903). She moved to Geneva with Iwan Akunoff and Emma Mandelbaum in 1901 and has been using the pseudonym "Ilse Frapan-Akunian" since that time. In Switzerland she was involved in women's rights activists and socialists. In 1898 her story "We women have no fatherland" came out. Her novel Arbeit sparked a protest from Zurich doctors because they saw their specialist area unjustly pilloried by Frapan for abuses. On behalf of the medical profession, the Zurich surgeon Rudolf Ulrich Krönlein published a statement in the NZZ under the title Ein Wort zur Abwehr on the front page of the newspaper published on May 23, 1903. The Zürcher Tages-Anzeiger also reported on the protest meeting at the medical faculty, as did the Hochschulnachrichten No. 9 / Heft 153 (Munich 1903).

The following years were marked by several trips through Germany, France and the Caucasus. Ilse Frapan was committed to the Armenians who were oppressed by the Turks and supported Akunoff financially through increased literary and literary critical work. Terminally ill ( stomach cancer ), Ilse Frapan had herself shot by her friend Emma Mandelbaum in 1908, who also died after the fact. Both were buried together on December 5, 1908 in the Geneva cemetery Saint-Georges .

Frapan's niece Sita Staub, b. Levien, was the wife of Ferdinand Hardekopf .
