Luise Rinser and Hermann Kant , 1987

Luise Rinser (born April 30, 1911 in Pitzling am Lech , Upper Bavaria , † March 17, 2002 in Unterhaching near Munich ) was a German writer .

Life

Early years

Luise Rinser was born on April 30, 1911 in Pitzling, Upper Bavaria, today a district of Landsberg am Lech , as the daughter of a teacher and organist. Her birthplace, the old school on Seestrasse, still exists. Rinser was trained to be an elementary school teacher in a teacher training college in Munich and passed the exam as one of the best of the year. From 1935 she then worked as a temporary teacher at various Upper Bavarian schools. She got to know the reform pedagogue Franz Seitz, who not only strongly influenced her in pedagogical questions, but also on her way into writing. This is evidenced by an extensive, previously unpublished correspondence.

time of the nationalsocialism

During this time she published her first short stories in the magazine Herdfeuer , which show a young woman who was positive about National Socialism . In 1934 she wrote a poem in praise of Adolf Hitler under the title Young Generation . This was followed by other poems and essays in the same magazine. In 1942 she worked for UFA on a screenplay about the female labor service. She had belonged to the Nazi women's association from 1936 and to the Nazi teachers' association until 1939 . However , she refused to join the NSDAP . Furthermore, various documents, including letters to Hermann Hesse , testify to a more critical attitude towards National Socialism. In 1939 she left school at her own request and married the composer and conductor Horst-Günther Schnell .

In 1941, her story The Glass Rings , which was enthusiastically approved by Hermann Hesse, was published. Because of the war, no further books could initially be published. It is unclear whether there was a publication ban claimed by the author. In any case, she was able to publish in the Kölnische Zeitung until 1944 . In 1943 she wrote the script for the planned film School of Girls for Nazi propaganda film director Karl Ritter .

In October 1944 she was denounced and arrested for " undermining military strength " and taken to the women's prison in Traunstein . On December 21, 1944, she was given Christmas imprisonment leave. It cannot be determined whether she returned to prison afterwards. In an introduction to her “prison diary” published in 1946, she claimed: “During my detention, a trial against me was underway at the People's Court in Berlin under the notorious Freisler. The charge was high treason (destruction of military strength and resistance to the Third Reich) ... I could be sentenced to death on the basis of the material available. ”In fact, she was not even charged, especially not for high treason. There was neither a trial, nor was the President of the People's Court, Roland Freisler , as she claims, in any way involved in her case. In her estate in Marbach there is an official document from the regional court prison in Traunstein, which says, “Luise Herrmann geb. Rinser "was released from prison on December 21, 1944 (that is, on the exact date on which her prison records also end), initially until January 7. She was given custody leave and apparently did not need to return to custody. In any case, there is no document that suggests it. In a work on "Memories of National Socialism in Luise Rinser's autobiographical writings", the Germanist Sandra Schrei shows how Rinser increased the drama and danger and her alleged active resistance with each of her published notes over those years.

Her son Christoph (* 1940) emerged from her marriage to Schnell, who divorced in 1942 . Her second son Stephan Rinser (1941–1994) came from an extramarital relationship; he became a television director. Schnell fell in the 1943 Russian campaign. Then Rinser married the writer Klaus Herrmann , allegedly in order to save him, "who as a homosexual, communist and pacifist in the Hitler Reich was twice and three times at risk, with a marriage of convenience from the concentration camp". This marriage ended in divorce in 1952. Rinser's claim that she protected Herrmann from the persecution of the Gestapo by marrying her does not really seem logical, since a persecuted Nazi opponent would have drawn the regime's attention to himself by marrying an allegedly equally notorious Nazi opponent. It is equally illogical that Rinser did not break up with Herrmann, whom she described as unsympathetic and unimportant for her life, immediately after the end of the war, but continued to live together in Kirchanschöring until the beginning of 1949 and also published in the same publishing house until he went to the GDR and she did to Munich.

post war period

Luise Rinser worked from 1945 to 1953 as a freelancer for the Neue Zeitung , for which she mainly reviewed books and wrote articles on cultural issues. In 1948 she moved into an apartment in Munich. In 1949 she took part in a meeting of Group 47 , where the novella she had read failed the group criticism. From then on, Rinser stayed away from the literary group.

From 1954 to 1959 Rinser was married to the composer Carl Orff . Rinser lived in Rome since 1959 and in Rocca di Papa near Rome since 1965 , where she was made an honorary citizen in 1986 . In addition, she kept her apartment in Munich until the end of her life, where she often stayed.

They formed close friendships with the Korean composer Isang Yun , with the Benedictine abbot Johannes Maria Hoeck and with the theologian Karl Rahner . Also Anagarika Govinda , whom she in the seventies with his wife Li Gotami Govinda was home a few days in Rocca di Papa, was one of its correspondents. In the last years of her life, the friendship with the philosopher and poet José Sánchez de Murillo was of great importance to Luise Rinser .

Luise Rinser also campaigned against the Wackersdorf nuclear reprocessing plant . In October 1986 the initiative “Classical Musicians against the WAA” played Haydn's oratorio The Creation in the Evangelical Trinity Church in Regensburg . Luise Rinser wrote “introductory words” about “Haydn's creation against the WAA”. She found her final resting place in the cemetery of Wessobrunn at the request of her will .

Artistic creation

Rinser's prison diary was published in 1946 , followed by a work on Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi , Pestalozzi and We (1947), followed by the novel First Love (1948) - not to be confused with the story of the same name - and the story of Jan Lobel from Warsaw (1948). , which is still regarded as a masterpiece today, the children's book Martins Reise (1949) and the novel Mitte des Lebens (1950), which immediately gained wide recognition and has been translated into several languages.

In the following years she published the novel Daniela (1953) and the report on the stigmatized Therese von Konnersreuth The Truth about Konnersreuth . 1955 follows a kind of detective novel, The Scapegoat , 1956 the volume with stories A bundle of white daffodils (including: The Lily ; Anna ; Elisabeth ; Daniela ; The Red Cat ; The Little Woman Marbel ; An Old Man Dies ; A Dark Story ; Jan Lobel from Warsaw ; David and A Bundle of White Daffodils ) and in 1957 the second Nina novel, The Adventures of Virtue . In addition, she wrote countless reviews, feature articles and essays.

In 1957 she studied at the University of Perugia for foreigners in late summer . A scholarship to stay at the Villa Massimo in Rome gave her an intense encounter with Italy and inspired her to write the story Go away if you can (1959). In 1960, The Focus was published, which contains essays on five fellow writers and colleagues. In 1962 the novel The Perfect Joy , the photo book I know your name and the essay On the Sense of Sadness (Felix tristitia) are published . The story September Day (1964) reflects a (fictional) day of her life in Rome, where she had settled in 1959. For three years she wrote regular columns for the women's magazine Für Sie , which are later published as a book in three volumes: Conversations about life questions (1966), conversation from person to person (1967) and questions, answers (1968). Out of her commitment to people, she wrote several works that are devoted to religious questions: 1964 On Hope , 1966 Does Prayer Make Sense?

The experience of the Second Vatican Council inspired her to deal with ecclesiastical questions: 1967 Layman not remote-controlled and celibacy and woman , 1968 About the impossibility and the possibility of being a priest today , but her main work from this time is the novel Ich bin Tobias (1966) . In addition, two photo volumes with Rinser's interpretations were published: Youth of our time (1967) and After his picture (with photos by Oswald Kettenberger ) (1969).

In 1970 Rinser published her first diary : Construction site. Kind of a diary. 1967–1970 , followed by the second in 1972: border crossings. Diary notes . In 1973 the Marriage of Contradictions appeared , and in 1974 the report Doomed to Death? Leprosy is curable! about a trip to the DAHW leprosy station on the Indonesian island of Lewoleba. The 1973 “energy crisis” inspired her to write How If We Were Poorer or The Homecoming of the Prodigal Son (1974).

In 1975 another novel, The Black Donkey , the fictional report Brother Fire about a modern Francis of Assisi , and the essay Suffering, Dying, Resurrecting, appeared . Her friendship with the Korean composer Isang Yun and a trip to South Korea were reflected in the report When the Whales Fight - Portrait of a Country: South Korea (1976). The Wounded Dragon appeared the following year . Dialogue about the life and work of the composer Isang Yun (1977).

In 1978 the third diary of war toys was published. Diary 1972–1978 . She toured Iran in the days of the Islamic Revolution ; She wrote down her experiences and insights into the Khomeini report and the Islamic state of God. A big idea - a big mistake? (1979). Because of her commitment to the reunification of the two Koreas, she was invited by the President of North Korea, Kim Il Sung , to his country, which she visited for the first time in 1980. She wrote a North Korean travel diary (1981) about it , which often met with criticism and incomprehension because she saw the communist regime almost completely uncritically.

In 1981 Rinser published the first part of her autobiography Embracing the Wolf , which goes back to 1950. In 1982 another diary volume, Winter Spring, was published. Diary entries 1979–1982 . In 1983 came the highly acclaimed novel Mirjam , 1984 the children's book Das Squirrel , 1985 the diary Singing in the Dark. Diary entries 1982–1985 out. The acquaintance with Romani Rose led her to grapple with the problem of the Sinti and Roma and the book Who throws the stone? To be a gypsy in Germany. Publishing an indictment (1985).

1986 appeared a volume with stories from the lions den (containing: Hinkela ; Munjo, the poet ; please, no mitigating circumstances ; as in a mirror ; Jacob's fight ; forgive us, as we forgive ; Aesculapia and applied physics ), 1987 Roman Silberschuld , 1988 another diary Growing Moon.

Letters of friendship to Karl Rahner . In the fall of 1994, she traveled to Dharamsala , where she had several talks with the Dalai Lama entitled Compassion as a Path to Peace. My conversations with the Dalai Lama in 1995 are published. The last diary, Art of Shadow Play, was published in 1997 . Diary entries 1994–1997 .

In the same year she started a collaboration with Hans Christian Meiser ; together they first published the correspondence purity and ecstasy. In Search of Perfect Love (1998), then the novel Aeterna (2000). In between she wrote - as her last work of her own - Brother Dog. A Legend (1999).

Political positions

Rinser's position in the Third Reich is no longer controversial: on the basis of documents, she is accused of deliberately manipulating her active role in the Third Reich. José Sánchez de Murillos biography Luise Rinser - A Life in Contradictions , published in Germany in April 2011 , makes numerous and essential corrections to Rinser's own portrayal of life during the Nazi era. According to Murillo, there is evidence that Rinser denounced her Jewish school director as a junior teacher in 1933 (she complained about his allegedly sloppy work) and is said to have promoted her own career. Murillo writes: "Luise Rinser was just as entangled as many others during the Nazi era" and adds in interviews: "In fact, she lied - lied to us all". At that time she was “a young Nazi figure who quickly made a career”. Luise Rinser is said to have deliberately veiled and falsified not only her political convictions, but also many of her “life data” for posterity. "The truth is: Luise Rinser worked on the culture of the 'Third Reich' like many of her generation comrades ... The creation of her biography after the so-called zero hour leaves a taste of bitterness and above all the penetrating refusal to ever hear a word of truth to say about the seductiveness of young artists under National Socialism or at least to do justice to the ambivalence of their position. "

Luise Rinser took an active part in the political and social discussion in the Federal Republic of Germany. She was a leading voice of left Catholicism , observed the Second Vatican Council as an accredited journalist and became a sharp critic of the Catholic Church, from which she, however, did not resign. In the 1970s she campaigned for the abortion paragraph 218 to be abolished . In 1968 she criticized the verdict against Andreas Baader and Gudrun Ensslin for the department store arson in an open letter . The father Ensslin , she wrote: "Gudrun has found in me a friend for life." In 1972 she supported Willy Brandt in the election campaign.

In the years from 1972 she toured the Soviet Union , the USA , Spain , India , Indonesia , South Korea , several times North Korea , Iran - whose revolutionary leader Ayatollah Khomeini praised her as a "shining example for the countries of the Third World" -, Japan , Colombia and many other countries. Luise Rinser was also an outspoken admirer of the North Korean dictator Kim Il-sung .

At the beginning of the 1980s, together with the writers Heinrich Böll and Günter Grass , she demonstrated against NATO's double resolution , according to which Pershing missiles should be stationed in the Federal Republic of Germany . She was proposed by the Greens as a candidate for the election of the German Federal President in 1984 ; she lost to Richard von Weizsäcker in the election .

Rinser is also known for her commitment to animal rights and vegetarianism . In 1990 she wrote a foreword for Eugen Drewermann's book About the Immortality of Animals, which was widely recognized . Hope for the suffering creature. in which she expressed her view on animal rights.

Posthumous reception

Luise Rinser died on March 17th, 2002.

At the beginning of April 2011 a biography of José Sánchez de Murillo was published ; Her son Christoph also worked on the book. Murillo met Rinser in January 1995 in Rocca di Papa near Rome; the two became friends.

In April 2011, her 100th birthday was commemorated.

The tenor of many book reviews and memorial articles was as follows:

"Murillo ... elaborates ... so honestly, with a heavy heart, that their involvement went much further than had been suspected."

“There aren't that many authors whose 100th birthday is thought of as vividly and controversially as Luise Rinser (...). But it is not the literary work that encourages dispute; this has hardly been noticed for a number of years. Rather, the young years of an author who was considered an incorruptible fighter for a just world in post-war Germany and was even given the moral honorary title of a 'prophetess of denial' have come into focus. In the time of National Socialism, however, she was probably not as unquestionably good and just as she herself always and often maintained in the role of the innocent model Germans. "
