from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ilse Hamel (* 19th February 1874 in Hildesheim , † November 1943 in Berlin ; actually Margaret Hamel , born Schubert ) was a German journalist , writer and NS - functionary . Another pseudonym is Ilse Waltraun .

Life

Hamel grew up in Hamburg . In 1893 she passed the teacher exams for girls' higher education. In 1895 she married the businessman Werner Hamel and lived in Berlin from then on. Even before the First World War she was active in the youth movement. Later she headed the press department of the Young Germany Federation and was editor of the magazines "Deutsche Frauenwarte" and "Die deutsche Frau". During the Weimar period she was close to the German National People's Party .

Hamel published numerous newspaper and magazine articles, poems and short stories in a conservative-nationalist attitude on predominantly political topics and women's issues. For example, as early as the 1920s she propagated the biological disorder of the German people and what she called “primitive Germanic” subordination to a strong leader. In October 1933, she was one of the 88 writers who signed the pledge of loyal allegiance to Adolf Hitler . From 1934 she was head (“district administrator”) of the department “folk art and down-to-earth home work” in the Nazi women's group . In 1935 she became the representative for women's issues in the Reichsschrifttumskammer . In 1941 she founded the Bettina von Arnim Society (not identical to today's Bettina von Arnim Society ) as a women's literary association “in the folkish sense”. In 1943 she died of a stroke.
