Life

Tombstone

Pauline Wörner was the daughter of the Protestant pastor Ernst Gottlob Wörner. She grew up in Gniebel and Zurich , where her father was a professor of Protestant theology. After the death of her father she returned to Tübingen in 1875, in 1886 she married the Protestant pastor Rudolf Krone and lived with him in Bötzingen . There she founded the local women's association and began to publish smaller stories from 1889, which enjoyed a certain popularity in their time.

After her husband died, she moved to Tübingen in 1915, where she ran a household together with her sister Julie Wörner at Olgastraße 4. During this time she developed a rich charitable activity, partly together with the local newspaper Tübinger Chronik , where she published numerous articles. Thanks to her literary skills, she was able to portray the need and need for help of the old residents of Tübingen in newspaper articles at home and abroad, especially in Switzerland, so vividly that this resulted in a constant wave of helpfulness. The mediating, reconciling nature of Pauline Krone, her clear vision and her apt word made her collaboration extremely valuable for public and voluntary welfare in Tübingen. After the National Socialists came to power, she withdrew into private life. After her apartment was destroyed by an air bomb in 1944, she moved to the Tübingen community center, where she died in February 1945. She is buried in the Tübingen city cemetery.

In 1950 the Tübingen Gutleutehaus was named after her as the Pauline Krone Heim .
