Life and professional history

Ilse Herrndobler spent a large part of her childhood with her grandparents in Rheinberg on the Lower Rhine and came to Landshut towards the end of the Second World War , where she attended the Ursuline elementary school and then the humanistic grammar school (later the Hans Carossa grammar school ). After graduating from high school, he studied philosophy, psychology and education in Munich, which ended with the qualification to teach elementary schools .

In 1962 she got her first post in Rotthalmünster (1962 to 1968). This is where the foundations for her later authorship as the creator of the fictional character " Uli the Mistake Devil " arose , who in primers , reading books , non-fiction books and workbooks was supposed to generate a desire for learning as the title character and in around 40 school books a new way of imparting knowledge in German for the Primary and special school students in West Germany for the next two decades. The publications were made from 1968 by Paul List Verlag in Munich and later by Schroedel in Frankfurt and were supplemented by teacher's handouts, offers for internal differentiation and other accompanying materials. The illustrations in the books were done by the Munich graphic artist Franz Josef “Pepperl” Ott, who contributed a lot to the success of the teaching materials with his child-friendly, funny image design. At the instigation of the List publishing house, there was also a fabric figure of Uli, a quartet play at Ravensburger Spiele and the establishment of contact with Ellis Kaut , who, in her tried-and-tested manner of Pumuckl stories, was supposed to write a funny storybook for the devil of mistakes .

From 1968 to 1990 Ilse Herrndobler taught at the elementary and secondary school in Ergolding , a suburb of Landshut. In the curriculum commission of the Bavarian Ministry of Culture, she headed the German sector for the beginning grades.

From 1990 onwards, Ilse Herrndobler devoted herself more and more to the new requirements in elementary school teaching, with a focus on free work in classes 1 and 2. To this end, she and her husband founded Bubu-Verlag with a new title character, the little clown Bubu, who was supposed to make learning easier for children in learning games and workbooks with self-correction options in German and mathematics.
