Live and act

Lonny Neumann grew up in Strasburg (Uckermark) with his grandparents, where, meanwhile adopted, attended elementary and middle school as Lonny Henning and from 1948 to 1952 the high school in Prenzlau. From 1952 to 1954 she studied at the Institute for Teacher Training in Frankfurt (Oder) and in Potsdam and completed a distance learning course in German. She worked as a teacher in Potsdam, one year at the Central Institute for Libraries and from 1965 to 1970 at the Seewalde boarding school . When the school, which was committed to promoting the gifted for an elite, was converted into a kindergarten teachers' school, Lonny Neumann left the facility and remained a housewife. In Seewalde she published her first stories, portraits and reports in the NDL, in anthologies and magazines. She studied from 1974 to 1977 at the Leipzig Institute for Literature . In 1980 Lonny Neumann moved to Potsdam and worked as a research assistant at the University of Potsdam from 1992 to 1994 . She worked on a symposium for the poet Hermann Kasack, who was twice ostracized in his city, and created a concept for the exhibition about his life and work. In 1995 she studied at Perugia University for Foreigners and received the Wiepersdorf Scholarship from the State of Brandenburg in 1999 and 2004. Lonny Neumann has been keeping a diary since 1963 with a different focus. At present, some chapters from it are being processed as "summer sheets" for an essay diary. She is the mother of three daughters.
