Life

Memorial plaque to Mira Lobe's birthplace in Görlitz, inaugurated in 2013, on the occasion of her 100th birthday

Mira Lobe was born in 1913 in the Lower Silesian trading town of Görlitz into a Jewish merchant family. After attending elementary school, she completed high school here , where she graduated from high school in 1933. After finishing school she wanted to study German and art history , but as a Jew she was forbidden to do so. After completing the textile and fashion school in Berlin , she emigrated to Palestine in 1936 ; Mother and sister came later. In summer 1940 she married the German actor and director Friedrich Lobe (* 1889), who worked at the workers' theater "Ohel" in Tel Aviv . In 1943 daughter Claudia was born. During this time she began to write and illustrate children's books. Initially, two picture books in Hebrew were published - the only published children's books in which both text and illustrations are by Mira Lobe. Son Reinhardt was born in 1947.

In her first book Insu-Pu (Hebrew title אי הילדים, "Island of Children"), published in Hebrew in Tel Aviv in 1948 , eleven children are transferred from a sunk ship to a lifeboat on their way to Terrania, where there is peace instead of war brought, but from there ended up on a lonely island. You manage to build a perfectly functioning children's state.

Three years later Lobe came to Vienna with her family because her husband had received an engagement at the communist “ New Theater in der Scala ”. Those who called themselves the “old left” joined the Communist Party and remained a member until 1956. In March 1953, her socio-critical play for children , namely unemployment , was performed in the New Theater in der Scala, Mr. Hecht and the Secret Society (directed by Otto Tausig ). During these years Lobe published six books in the communist Globus Verlag and in the likewise KPÖ- related Vienna Schönbrunn-Verlag as well as numerous articles in the children's newspaper Our Newspaper (UZ), which was published by the KPÖ-affiliated “Democratic Association Kinderland”.

In 1957, one year after the “Scala” closed and after her husband was offered a contract at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin , she followed him to the GDR . Only a year later the Lobe family returned to Vienna , where Friedrich Lobe was engaged at the Theater in der Josefstadt . He died of a stroke on November 20, 1958.

Mira Lobe's books have been published since 1958 mainly by the SPÖ- related Jungbrunnen-Verlag , with which she had already established contacts in 1954 in connection with the Christmas campaign of the children's friends . Most of Mira Lobes' books were illustrated by Susi Weigel , who also worked closely with Lobe over the next few decades. Lobe celebrated her greatest successes with The Grandma in the Apple Tree (1965) and Das kleine Ich-bin-Ich (1972). In total, she wrote more than 100 books for children of different ages, which have been translated into over 30 languages. Her debut Insu-Pu was adapted for television in Great Britain in 1984 under the title Children's Island .

In 1997, the Mira-Lobe-Weg near the Trabrenngrund residential complex in Vienna- Donaustadt was named after the author. A primary school and a day care center for the city of Vienna are located on him. Her name is a language therapy school (school with a focus on language therapy) in Eppertshausen , which is responsible for the eastern part of the Darmstadt-Dieburg district ( Hesse ). In addition, since 2014 a special school with a focus on intellectual development in Dortmund Hombruch has been called the Mira Lobe School.

In Annaberg , where she had a second home, the exhibition 100 Years of Mira Lobe took place from May to September 2013 .

In the winter of 2014/2015, Ich bin ich - Mira Lobe and Susi Weigel were part of an exhibition at the Wien Museum , which developed into one of the most popular exhibitions of the Kos era . An adapted version of this exhibition was shown from November 28, 2015 to May 1, 2016 in the vorarlberg museum .

The Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Art and Culture awards Mira Lobe scholarships for children's and young people's literature every year .
