Life

Marie Karchow-Lindner was born as the daughter of a noble landowner from Prussia . She lost her parents at an early age and was raised by a Lindner family. She took the names of her foster parents out of gratitude. She went to the theater in Berlin and became a student of Auguste Crelinger . Guest roles followed in Königsberg, Berlin, Petersburg, Breslau, Hamburg and Vienna.

Then she moved to Dresden and dedicated herself to supporting the poor "after a glorious career in theater". She was the first woman in Dresden to have warming rooms built for the poor in the city , in which soups and drinks were sold for a few pfennigs. A first warming room was ceremoniously opened on January 9, 1883. It was located on what was then Wettinerstrasse. Karchow-Lindner ran the Dresdner Warmstuben for three years and later financed it through a foundation .

In 1896, she founded the Dresdner Kunst- und Theater-Zeitung , which until 1904 appeared weekly with interruptions, but sometimes several times a week or daily, depending on the material situation. According to the subtitle, the newspaper came "with entertainment and advertising ads". The magazine appeared in Karchow-Lindner's own publishing house "Karchow-Lindner" in Dresden. Karchow-Lindner was both the editor of the magazine and as editor operates. In 1904 Karchow-Lindner was awarded the gold medal in Ostend at the Exposition Internationale des Arts de la Mode Feminine under the patronage of Princess Clementine of Belgium as the publisher of the Dresden art and theater newspaper .

From January 1905 the Dresdner Kunst- und Theater-Zeitung appeared under the name Internationale Kunst- und Theater-Zeitung . It was probably discontinued in December of that year. Karchow-Lindner was able to attract authors such as Edwin Bormann , Anne van den Eken and Adolph Kohut to work. She herself wrote theater reviews, among other things.

Karchow-Lindner was a member of the Dresden Litterarian Society from 1902 and was in contact with authors and editors of their time, including Bertha Behrens , Karl Vollmöller , Wilhelm von Polenz and Ferdinand Avenarius . Until her death she lived in Dresden, Wiener Platz  7.

Karchow-Lindner was married to the Berlin architect and Rittmeister Karchow. She passed away the day after her 72nd birthday. Her body was cremated in the Dresden-Tolkewitz crematorium . She found her final resting place on April 5, 1927 at the Schmuckplatz cemetery in Dept. E.
