Lucie Rakers

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lucie Rakers , b. Ribbink (born August 19, 1905 in Nordhorn ; † April 4, 1993 ibid), was a German homeland poet from the Grafschaft Bentheim district , in southwest Lower Saxony , right on the Dutch border.

She wrote her literature in High German and also in Low German in prose form or as a poem or ballad, which were published in the yearbooks of the local Heimatverein .

Published works:

  • Life picture of a hearty countess (collection of poems from 1963)
  • Legends from the Grafschaft Bentheim (ballad collection, illustrated by Wilhelm Frantzen, created 1969).

In 1984 she also made a contribution to the free translation of the Dutch treatise History of the County of Bentheim . (Original title Geschiedenis van het Graafschap Bentheim , first published in 1820 by JL Zeehuisen in Zwolle ), a work by the Wilsum historical researcher Wessel Friedrich Visch (1773-1860). Lucie Rakers had previously translated some of the poems of this evangelical reformed pastor , who also worked as a poet and hobby archaeologist, into German.

Lucie Rakers was married to the vice principal Johann Rakers and thus the sister-in-law of Arnold Heinrich Rakers (1903-1965), also a teacher, linguist and promoter of German-Dutch relations. Together with Arnold Rakers, she vigorously advocated the Vossberg spelling in Low German.

In Bad Bentheim , the small residential street Lucie-Rakers-Straße is named after her.
