biography

Weinsheimer was the daughter of pastor Heinrich Weinsheimer and his wife Gertrud. She grew up in Elberfeld . After graduating from high school, she trained as an actress in Essen and was then engaged in the Ruhr-Kammerspiele in Witten from 1947 to 1949 . In 1950 she married the actor and theater director Walter Jokisch and in 1960 they separated again. When her husband got a job in Bremen, she changed her job in Bremen and became an editor at Weser-Kurier . She also wrote for the Bremer Nachrichten and commented on cultural policy for Radio Bremen . Around 1970 she started her own business and worked until her death as a Bremen correspondent for the left-wing liberal Frankfurter Rundschau and several other large daily newspapers such as the Stuttgarter Zeitung and the Kölner Stadtanzeiger. In addition, she has been writing regularly for the weekly newspaper Die Zeit since her time at Weser-Kurier . The articles on National Socialism that received attention were the reports about SS-Obersturmführer Fritz Hildebrand in a murder trial in Bremen. Her social reports also received a lot of attention. She was considered a "precise, uncomfortable, not always beloved, but always respected reporter", so the Stuttgarter Zeitung in 1992 in an obituary. (Stuttgarter Zeitung, December 24, 1992)
