from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ilse Obrig (born February 21, 1908 in Elberfeld , † October 3, 1978 in West Berlin ) was a German radio editor, presenter and author of children's books.

Life

During her studies in psychology , Ilse Obrig began working in children's radio at Mitteldeutsche Rundfunk AG (MIRAG) in Leipzig in 1928 . In 1934, her dissertation to obtain a doctorate (Dr. phil.) With the title Children tell stories that have been started was further accepted by the University of Leipzig . From 1936 she also worked for the Reichssender Berlin, where she was, among other things, the author and spokesperson for the popular children's radio series Familie Fröhlich . From 1945 to 1949 Obrig was involved in setting up children's radio at Berliner Rundfunk , in 1950 she moved to the western part of the city to RIAS and to Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk , which was then also responsible for West Berlin. After founding the Sender Free Berlin (SFB) as a Berlin state broadcaster in 1954, she was the chief editor of children's radio and children's television there until her retirement in 1973.

In 1951, during the test phase of German television , Ilse Obrig developed the children's hour, the first German television series for children. After regular television operations began at the end of 1952, she took turns with other moderators in the presentation of this half-hour program, which was broadcast several times a week, until the mid-1960s. Obrig did not speak directly into the camera, but sat in a group of children and read them stories, did handicrafts with them and sang songs with them. The Sandman was based on an idea by Obrig in 1959. But before the West German Sandman went on the air, the German television station had heard of the plans and the SFB got ahead of it with the first broadcast of Our Sandman .

Ilse Obrig also wrote non-fiction books and stories for children.

Opinions

  • “The children's hour brought up the children to have a hyperactive free time, characterized by paper cuttings, potato men and nutshell carts, to high German, straight lines and respect for age, as long as one remained happy and humble. Nobody was brought up to be spontaneous, the reactions of the children present were rehearsed. "
  • Ilse Obrig was praised for 'spontaneity, liveliness, happiness, a light hand with the children, but also an educational undertone, a playful instruction' ; she was the focus of the programs, gathering a crowd of children around her, and moderating their activities, while at the same time integrating films into the show. [...] Previously rehearsed gymnastics, singing, dance and handicraft games should encourage the audience to imitate them in the conservation-pedagogical sense and in the spirit of musical education; they were garnished with shadow and puppet theater performances. "
  • “The “ children's hour ” founded by Dr. Ilse Obrig exuded slowness and calm. This was shown as follows: Dr. Ilse Obrig sat in a circle with a group of children at a table and talked to them. Then she took a picture book at hand, opened it and read the text aloud. The images in the book were shown as still images over a period of one to two minutes so that viewers could comprehend them visually (for comparison: In today's programs, after about two to three seconds cut to another picture). In addition, the children were rehabilitated or played back carefully. Children's television programs at that time should not only be clear, but also calm, in order to relieve the children of their "nervous agitation" [...] "
