Regina Gottschalk

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Regina Gottschalk , b. Getreuer (born October 2, 1940 in Prague ), is a German Germanist and historian .

Life

Gottschalk grew up in Dresden and fled to West Germany with his parents in 1957. She studied German, history and political science in Tübingen and Munich . After the state examination, he did his doctorate with Josef Engel in Tübingen. Her dissertation deals with a topic of party history in the end of the German Empire and in the beginning of the Weimar Republic , namely the history of the left-wing liberals between 1917 and 1919. With her dissertation, she won the Wolf-Erich-Kellner Prize of the Wolf-Erich-Kellner Memorial Foundation in 1967 . Until she retired, she taught German, history and social studies at grammar schools in Munich , Ingolstadt and Rosenheim . She lives in Stephanskirchen , district of Rosenheim.

In her non-fiction book Waiting for Message (2015), Gottschalk reconstructed the fate of the Jewish Getreuer family from the Bohemian Forest . The family ran a general store and a top wholesaler in the small town of Schwanenbrückl / Mostek . With the Munich Agreement in 1938, their homeland fell to the German Reich; the family was forced to flee to supposedly safe Prague. The adult children managed to emigrate to England, Shanghai and the USA; their parents were deported and murdered.

The publication of the documentation was preceded by five years of research. The book also contains pictures and written sources, including letters transcribed by Gottschalk that had been sent to her relatives. The Passauer Neue Presse wrote that the "very conscientious" book deserves the "broadest attention".

While researching her non-fiction book “Waiting for News”, Regina Gottschalk also worked as a “scientific advisor” for the three-part Czech television documentary “The Fate of the Jewish Population in the Bohemian Forest and the Bavarian Forest” by director Zdeněk Flídr (ZF Film / Česká televice Prague 2012/13). The film also focuses on the story of the Getreuer family from Schwanenbrückl / Mostek.

From 1969 to 1978 Gottschalk was a member of the Advisory Board of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation .
