Live and act

Marie Eysn was born in 1847 as the daughter of the wealthy businessman Alois Eysn and his wife Anna Eysn in Horn in Lower Austria. Her mother was the daughter of canvas dealers Florian Pollack and Margareta Bunzender from Linz. The family moved to Salzburg around 1860 . Marie Eysn received private tuition and also continued her autodidactic training, especially in the field of botany . Here she was influenced by the friendship with the family of the botanist Anton Kerner von Marilaun . She collected alpine plants in the Salzburg region and created a phanerogamous herbarium . From 1887 to 1891 she supported Kerner von Marilaun in his work “Schedae ad floram exsiccatam Austro-Hungaricam”, for which she produced over 1,200 documents. She donated a collection of algae she had assembled to the Salzburg Natural History Museum. In addition to the natural sciences, he was also interested in textiles and put together an important top collection. Another area of ​​interest of Eysn was history, among other things, she was involved in the pile-dwelling research of the archaeologist Matthäus Much on Mondsee .

In 1903, at the age of 56, Eysn married the geographer and ethnographer Richard Andree , with whom she lived in Munich until his death. In the same year she converted from the Roman Catholic to the Evangelical faith. Her research now concentrated on evidence of popular piety , she collected votives and amulets and supported her husband in his work "Votives and consecrations of the Catholic people in southern Germany" (1904). She carried out extensive folklore studies and in 1910 published her main work “Folklore from the Bavarian-Austrian Alpine region”, on the basis of which she is regarded as the founder of pilgrimage research . In the same year she bequeathed a large part of the associated votive collection to the Berlin Folklore Museum (at that time the “Royal Collection for German Folklore in Berlin”). She had already donated various individual items and collections to the museum before and was made an honorary member of the museum association in 1907.

After the death of her husband in 1912 and the First World War, Andree-Eysn was destitute for the first time as a result of inflation . She sold parts of her collections to museums to make a living. Rupprecht von Bayern provided her with an apartment in the Villa Brandholzlehen in Berchtesgaden , where she spent the end of her life. In collaboration with the folklorist Rudolf Kriss , the basis of a religious folklore collection was created during this time, which later went to the Bavarian National Museum . In 1920 Andree-Eysn was made an honorary member of the Folklore Society in Vienna. She died in Berchtesgaden in 1929 at the age of 81 and was buried in the grave of her parents in the Salzburg city cemetery after an evangelical cremation in Munich.
