Margarete Elzer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Margarete Anna Elisabeth Elzer (born October 19, 1889 in Halle (Saale) ; died August 26, 1966 in Tegernsee ) was a German writer of entertainment novels.

Life

Elzer was the daughter of Hedwig Courths-Mahler . Like her older sister Friede Stein, pseudonym Friede Birkner (1891–1985), Elzer wrote entertainment novels for women based on his mother's tried and tested recipe. Between 1921 and 1953 Elzer published 54 novels in which she conveyed traditional ideas of femininity and which were characterized by trivial language clichés, crass black and white drawing of characters, the omission of social problems and the stereotypical resolution of social conflicts. She was a sought-after author of lending library novels. Her books were especially widespread during the Nazi era.

She was married to the actor Karl Elzer .
