Polly Tieck

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Polly Tieck (born March 30, 1893 in Berlin , † 1975 probably in Chile ) was a German journalist. It is the pseudonym of Ilse Ehrenfried , married Falkenfeld , married Aufrichtig . She also published under the pseudonyms Katta Launisch and Lieschen Lassdas .

Life and accomplishments

Ehrenfeld was close friends with the poet Arthur Eloesser . Her first marriage was in 1916, when she married the journalist Hellmuth Falkenfeld (1893–1954). From this marriage a daughter was born in 1917. In the Weimar Republic she worked as the head of the pattern workshop at Ullstein Verlag in Berlin. After she began to establish herself in the mid-1920s and became a popular columnist , after the National Socialists' seizure of power , like Mascha Kaléko , Dinah Nelken and many other contemporaries, she was forced to withdraw from journalism and could not return to journalism later on build on previous successes.

Stylistically, their newspaper articles in the Tages-Buch , the BZ am Mittag , the Ulk and the Munich Youth are reminiscent of Irmgard Keun and Kurt Tucholsky . In her prose sketches, she met the sense of time of the average woman of her time precisely, wittily and very eloquently. One of her best essays is a cheeky and witty reply to Tucholsky's article What Do People Do When They Are Alone? with the title What does the woman do when she is alone? (1926), in which she claims that Tucholsky's observations only apply to men. She tries to formulate an amusing short psychology of the sophisticated woman.

On October 27, 1931, she married the writer Hans Aufrichtig (1899 – after 1977; later Juan Aufrichtig ). Around 1938 the two probably emigrated first to New York and then to Chile . There they lived in Valparaíso , where Ilse Aufrichtig founded a clothing company. In exile she wrote, among other things, for the construction . Juan met Otto F. Kernberg here .

The life and work of Polly Tieck are largely unexplored, and there is no anthology with texts. Renate Wall and Anna Rheinsberg dealt with her in works about women who write. In June - magazine for literature and culture 2013, a catalog of works and a selection published their texts.
