Ingrid Kreuzer
Ingrid Kreuzer , b. Oßmann (born March 21, 1926 in Pethau , Oberlausitz ; † December 24, 2004 in Siegen ) was a German literary scholar , art historian and author who also published short stories and poems under the pseudonym Angelika Jakob .
Life
Ingrid Kreuzer studied art history, German literature and archeology at the universities in Breslau , Halle (Saale) , Göttingen and Tübingen from 1944 to 1953 . In 1953 she did her doctorate in Tübingen under Georg Weise with an art-historical work on Johann Joachim Winckelmann's aesthetics of plastic art; it was followed by research on the sculpture of the Renaissance and early Baroque in northern Spain. In the same year, 1953, she married the literary scholar Helmut Kreuzer , with whom she had been working closely on a freelance basis in literary studies since the late 1950s and whose university career consistently promoted her in Stuttgart, Saarbrücken, Bonn and Siegen as well as Houston / Texas (visiting professorships 1977 to 1985). Her first literary attempts go back to this time.
As a scientist, Ingrid Kreuzer has published about Gotthold Ephraim Lessing , Johann Wolfgang Goethe , Ludwig Tieck , Friedrich Hebbel , Martin Beradt , Martin Walser , Hermann Lenz , Robert Müller and the English Angry Young Men . As the author Angelika Jakob, she performed collections of poems such as Twelve Poems (1982), Gray Stone and Yellow Wings (1986) and My Wings in a Backpack (1996), as well as volumes of short stories such as Amie (1982; written 1958), Flieg, Sister, fly (1984 ) and The Lady and the Boy (1989). In her poetic approach to Annette von Droste-Hülshoff Must Walk Without a Lamp (1994), her dual talent as a scientist and author is expressed in a special way.
