Life

Ottilie Schwahn was born as the daughter of the master confectioner Bernhard Schwahn (1814–1906) and his wife Henriette. Even when attending the secondary school for girls in her hometown, she was noticed by her poems and stories. Encouraged by friends, she sent some stories to Thekla von Gumpert , who published them in her magazine Herzblättchens Zeitvertrieb . Encouraged by the success, a larger story emerged, which was published by Winckelmann & Sons. The publisher also entrusted her with the reworking of some works by A. Stein (Margarethe Wulff (1792–1874)): Fifty-two Sundays , Diary of Three Children , Marie's Diary , Felicia and Old Friends . In her most productive creative period from 1889 to 1905, many children's books were written in quick succession and published by the Theodor Stroefer publishing house . In some stories she processed the legends and customs of the Lower Lusatian Wends , for example in The Emigrant's Children and The Holiday Travel .

Like her sister Louise († 1916), Ottilie Schwahn remained unmarried.
