Luiselotte Enderle
Luiselotte Enderle (actually Louise Babette Enderle ; born January 19, 1908 in Leipzig ; † November 3, 1991 in Munich ) was a German journalist who became known as Erich Kästner's partner and biographer . She wrote the script for the film Das Wirtshaus im Spessart .
Life
Luiselotte Enderle met Erich Kästner in 1927 as a journalist for the Leipzig publishing house Otto Beyer , who published the family paper “Beyers for All”. In 1935 they met again in Berlin and became closer friends. When Kästner's apartment was bombed in 1944, he moved into Luiselotte Enderle's apartment.
Luiselotte Enderle worked as a dramaturge at Ufa . In 1945 she fled Berlin. Under the pretext of being involved in the production of the film The Lost Face - Kästner as a screenwriter - they left the embattled capital with a team of 60 and fled to Mayrhofen in the Zillertal , Tyrol. There they filmed with an empty film cassette in the camera to deceive.
In 1945, Enderle Kästner worked as a feature editor for the Neue Zeitung in Munich.
Although Erich Kästner lived with her for almost 40 years, they were never married, nor is she the mother of Kästner's son Thomas .
In her Kästner biography, Enderle does not comment on Kästner's relationships with women - except with his mother - with the following reason:
- “ Of course, women were also asked about relationships. Erich Kästner refused to ever talk about it. That forbids him discretion. In terms of femininity, only what officially appears. "
- (Quoted from Luiselotte Enderle: "Erich Kästner". Rowohlt, 1966)
Luiselotte Enderle was the role model for the mother Luiselotte of the two twins Luise and Lotte in Das doppelte Lottchen . She was buried in the grave of her partner in the cemetery in Munich-Bogenhausen .
