Life

The Barkenhoff

As a worker in Dresden, she was a board member of the youth education association and was considered a leading figure in the youth workers' movement in this city. In August 1917 she sent a flyer against the war, which is why she was sentenced on May 5, 1918 to several months in prison for high treason. After her liberation through the November Revolution , she became a member of the “International Communists” group around Otto Rühle . She appeared as a speaker mainly in Dresden and Pirna and reached thousands of listeners. After the war she was friends with the painter Heinrich Vogeler . The Worpsweder artist community saw them as an "ideal communist" coexistence and joined the group. Together with Vogeler, she founded the Barkenhoff community and work school in the summer of 1919 . Together with Vogeler and other members of the artists' colony in Worpswede, Griesbach published in the anarchist magazine Der Freie Arbeiter .

In 1920 she married Vogeler's colleague, the painter Walter Hundt . They had seven children and ran a farm in Ohlenstedt (Osterholz district) according to the principles of anthroposophy . At what point in time the couple joined Rudolf Steiner's movement is not exactly known.
