Rosemarie Keller (1974)

Rosemarie Keller (* 9. July 1937 in Flühli as Rosemarie Borner ) is a Swiss writer and journalist .

Life

Rosemarie Keller grew up in Baden in the spa district as the daughter of the then landlady of the Hotel Rosenlaube together with her older sister. Her mother, Pauline Borner, became a widow at a young age and therefore ran the hotel on her own. The fact that she accepted persecuted Jews as retirees who were not officially registered during the Second World War contributed to Rosemarie Keller's politicization early on.

She was trained as an actress in Zurich. Since 1965, in addition to family work - she raised four children with her husband - she has been writing regularly as a journalist for Swiss newspapers and other publications (including the Badener Neujahrsblätter). a. reported on the encounters with Jewish migrants who had shaped their childhood. The author found the absolute silence of refugees, ordered by the mother, rather depressing, albeit inevitable, about whose existence nobody was allowed to know anything, because otherwise it would have been life-threatening for those affected. This concerned u. a. "Aunt Masha". Her book The Landlord can also be read as an autobiography about the childhood in Baden experienced and remembered by the author. She advocates an education to be impartial towards those of other faiths.

In her novel Die Pilfahrt, the journalist's main drive, why she wants to continue researching why a young girl was burned as a witch at the time, is a willingness to get entangled in everything that happened, no matter how far back.

In addition to novels and articles in newspapers, Rosemarie Keller also published short stories that are less well known. One of these stories, entitled "Like a Summer's Day", reports on the dilemma of the wife of a successful businessman who believes she has to donate her heart for a heart operation and is willing to accept her own death.

She lives in Untersiggenthal with her husband Anton Keller . Her daughter is the Aargau CVP National Councilor Marianne Binder .
