Life
Johanna Kielich was the daughter of the master shoemaker Johann Adolf Kielich and grew up as an orphan . She entered the deaconess service in 1877 and was a Red Cross nurse in Hamburg from 1887 . In 1897 she married Otto Gustav Wolff. Both of them had a country house built in Hamburg-Rissen by the Hamburg architect Wilhelm Fränkel in 1910 , which the Wolff couple named Haus Moorfred . “It was a quiet, darkened name, but one that went with the plaice. The reason was bog and sand: a mixture which, when mixed up, resulted in great fertility. "
Along with Agnes Miegel, Johanna Wolff was the most important representative of East Prussian women's poetry. She was influenced in her works by Friedrich Nietzsche , Detlev von Liliencron and Richard Dehmel . Wolff's first publication was Nameless - Frauenlieder in 1896 . Johanna Wolff had her greatest success with the autobiography Hanneken, a book of poverty and work from 1912, later renamed as a new edition in Hanneken, a book of work and ascent , with a print run of 55,000 copies.
The city of Tilsit granted Johanna Wolff honorary citizenship in 1930 . In addition, she received an honorary grave for herself and her husband, "that the NSDAP revoked her because her husband was of Jewish origin." The former Meerwischer elementary school in Tilsit was renamed the Johanna Wolff School in 1943.
Her grave is in the Mergoscia cemetery . There is a memorial plaque for HANNEKEN on the cemetery wall. Her husband died a few days after her. On her grave plaque he still had the inscription NO ONE WAS GOOD ENOUGH WITH DIR. Have G. chiseled in.
