Luise Gerbing (born April 23, 1855 in Rödichen near Schnepfenthal , † February 25, 1927 in Waltershausen ) was a German local researcher and journalist .

Life

Luise Gerbing was the daughter of Gustav Ausfeld, a teacher at the school in Schnepfenthal, and his wife Fanny, a daughter of the Medical Council Richter from Waltershausen; her brother was the historian Eduard Ausfeld . She was also the granddaughter of Christian Gotthilf Salzmann and attended by him, together with Johann Christoph Friedrich Guts Muth founded, Salzmannschule .

After attending school in Schnepfenthal and the Ernestinum Gotha , she spent a year as a piano teacher in a boarding school in Saint-Blaise in French-speaking Switzerland , then returned to Schnepfenthal and began teaching at the Salzmann School.

Supported by the geographers Fritz Regel and Alfred Kirchhoff , she dealt with geographical and cultural-historical problems, with issues of settlement and folklore and with dialectic issues. She received the foundations for her research in the geographic, settlement history and folklore area by studying Regel's development of the localities of the Thuringian Forest , Arnold's settlement and migration of German tribes , Kirchhoff's guidance on German regional and folk research, and August Meitzen's settlements and agriculture of the Teutons .

At the beginning of the 1890s she began her historical studies on Thomas Münzer and the German peasant war and soldier trade by Central German princes . In 1893 she gave her first lecture From the History of the Thuringian Forests .

She published, among other things, in the communications of the Geographical Society in Jena , in the communications of the Geography Association in Halle , in the publications of the Association for Gothaische Geschichte , in the homeland papers from the Coburg-Gothaische Landen, the Thüringer Warte and the Thuringian monthly papers as well as in Das Mareile - Bote des Rennsteigverein , of which she was the editor since 1906.

Among other things, she published a waterway map of Southwest Thuringia , reported on the streets of Southwest Thuringia , Erfurt trade and trade routes , Thuringian carter life in the past few days and articles on the extermination of predators in the Thuringian Forest .

Since it was founded in 1896, it was in close contact with the Rennsteig Association , to which it reported several times in Mareile , including Rennsteig-Riss (July 1898), a draft of a forest fortification under Ernst the Pious in the Georgenthal office in 1657 (October 1899) and about the Ilmquelle (March 1902).

In addition to her work for the Rennsteig Association, she continued her local history studies with Die Grenzen der Wüstung Meinboldisfeldt in the communications of the Association for Gothaic History and Antiquity Research and From the History of the Village of Rödichen as well as with a treatise on Thuringian folk costumes in the magazine for folklore . Her research on folk costumes and a special exhibition that she organized in Eisenach in 1910 meant that she is now considered the nestor of Thuringian costume research.

She dealt very intensively with field name research, which she ended with her work The field names of the Duchy of Gotha and the forest names of the Thuringian Forest in 1910.

After the First World War she was politically active in the German People's Party .

Luise Gerbing was married to her drawing teacher Reinhold Gerbing (1838–1905) since April 18, 1877 . Her son Walter Gerbing (1880–1928) later became a geographer.

Her burial took place in the forest cemetery in Schnepfenthal.
