Ludmilla Hypius (born May 2, 1911 in Baden-Baden , † January 25, 2015 in Frankfurt (Oder) ) was a German trumpeter and music teacher .

family

Ludmilla Bernhardine Hypius was the daughter of the chamber singer Marta Anna Hypius (stage name Arletta Hypius , * 1887) and the actor Johann Friedrich Bernhard Mörbitz (1872-1916). Hypius had a daughter, born in 1939, from his relationship with Peter Flocken, who died in Stalingrad in 1944 . In 1945 she married the general agent Emil Bingel in Dresden. The marriage, which was divorced in 1949, had a son.

Live and act

Hypius' father died when she was five years old. She completed a humanistic education in private schools and in the private higher Lyceum A. Nolden Dresden . She received her first piano lessons at the age of five and attended the private Fischer music school in Dresden-Klotzsche from 1917 to 1928.

From 1927 to 1932 she accompanied her mother's performances on the piano, among others in Dresden, Bayreuth , Munich and Bad Berneck in the Fichtelgebirge .

From 1933 she played both classical and light music  in various ensembles, some of which she founded herself. In addition, she learned the accordion and trumpet . She received trumpet lessons in Königsberg and Aachen from the chamber musician Noak and in Berlin from the chamber virtuoso Bode. Her appearances took her through Germany and, during the Second World War , to Norway , Greece , Denmark and Luxembourg . She worked as a trumpet and piano soloist, singer and announcer.

After the end of the war, she was back on stage as an instrumental soloist in August 1945 and gave regional concerts with a small ensemble. In 1950 she passed the state exams in trumpet, piano, theory and music history in Halle (Saale) and was thus granted permission to perform in the GDR . She became known mainly as a trumpet soloist and worked for 10 years until 1964 as first and second trumpeter in the cultural orchestra of the Technical University of Dresden .

In 1961 she completed an external degree in music education at the Carl Maria von Weber University of Music in Dresden and in 1964 was admitted as a freelance music teacher in the subjects of piano, trumpet and accordion. This was followed by a job at the Eisenhüttenstadt music school as a music teacher for piano and trumpet. In 1967 Hypius passed the state examination in the department for wind instruments at the Dresden University of Music. From 1964 to 2006 she taught at the music schools in Eisenhüttenstadt, Fürstenwalde / Spree and Beeskow .

In addition to her teaching activities, she founded and led wind groups such as the “Breslacker Dorfmusik”, the “Dorchetaler Musikanten” district of Oder-Spree , various hunting horn groups and the pupil wind orchestras from Eisenhüttenstadt and Beeskow. From 1969 to 1973 she conducted the folk choir "Harmonie" in Möbiskruge and also for three years the choir of the Eisenhüttenstadt People's Police Readiness . In 1972 Hypius was appointed deputy director of the Eisenhüttenstadt music school. She arranged and composed around 15 smaller works for her students and wind groups and performed numerous appearances with her choirs and wind groups at cultural events in Eisenhüttenstadt and the surrounding area. At the age of 90 she was still teaching trumpet and piano. In retirement, she led the “choir of cheerful senior women”.

She was also invited to television and radio broadcasts in the GDR and later on the Berlin-Brandenburg radio , Mitteldeutschen Rundfunk and Westdeutscher Rundfunk Köln 5 .

Ludmilla Hypius died in a retirement home in 2015. Her grave is on the Inselfriedhof in Eisenhüttenstadt. Her musical estate is administered by her grandson, who runs his own music school.

In Eisenhüttenstadt, the former pioneer path was renamed "Ludmilla-Hypius-Weg" in 2016.

Esperanto

Ludmilla Hypius learned the international planned language Esperanto in 1976. She was involved in the Esperanto Association in the Kulturbund of the GDR, founded an Esperanto group in Eisenhüttenstadt and taught the language. In her memoirs, she dedicated the chapters "My turning point" and "Pleasant abroad" to her experiences with Esperanto. In it she emphasizes:

“The international idea of ​​peace encouraged my interest in an international language. I was already about 65 years old and learned Esperanto with enthusiasm, ... so I traveled to international Esperanto world meetings in Oslo, Iceland, France, Spain, Bulgaria, Russia etc. I also often had foreign guests with me, with whom I had previously been the European countries already mentioned. "

She describes some trips and records as an experience:

"There are in all countries among all peoples in all professions very good character, humane, all-knowing people who no longer want wars and who demand international understanding."

Looking into the future, she says:

"One small step, the more you walk, the better ... You have to dare to think a little further ahead ... So we think ahead and don't disparagingly say 'crazy' about it."
