Live and act
Ruth Amalie Goetz attended the Lyceum and passed the exam that qualified her for higher education. The Silesian then found employment as a translator for French . From 1909 the Romancière published a number of its own works, including 'The Eternal Miss', 'The Master', 'The First Year of Marriage', 'The Denied Years' and 'The Treason'. She also worked as an employee of various newspapers and as an editor at the publishing houses Ullstein and Mosse .
Ruth Goetz first made contact with film shortly before the outbreak of the First World War at the French production company Gaumont . During the war in Germany she continued her career as in-house author for the Decla-Film-Gesellschaft Holz & Co. for Alwin Neuss productions. Soon thereafter, Ruth Goetz switched to Eiko-Film and wrote manuscripts for Hedda Vernon dramas by the director and Vernon husband Hubert Moest . In 1918/19 Goetz co-wrote the monumental films Veritas Vincit and Die Herrin der Welt for Joe May . In 1919 she switched to Ring-Film and wrote for Erik Lund's productions, the following year she wrote scripts for the Carl Wilhelm production. Since then, Ruth Goetz has worked for various companies. Her preferred field of work was dramatic and melodramatic material. In 1925 Goetz was responsible for the templates for several Fritz Kaufmann productions and worked for AAFA-Film Rudolf Walther-Feins .
In addition to her film work, Ruth Goetz continued to be active as a writer and journalist. She has written articles on the subject of fashion , for example in the publication 'Modenspiegel'. In 1927 Ruth Goetz stopped working for the cinema shortly after she had co-authored the screenplay for the much-discussed drama Tragedy of the Whore with Asta Nielsen in the title role. Instead, as a book author, she concentrated on classic women's issues: her publications were called 'Cookbook for All', 'Success through a Good Way of Life' and 'Textbook of Beauty'.
As a result of the National Socialists' seizure of power in 1933, the Jewish woman, who had been married to the writer Bernhard von Schüching for the second time since October 1922, had to leave the country, especially since she had been banned from publishing in Germany. In 1939 Ruth von Schüching was expatriated. At this point she was already in exile in London. Ruth Goetz / von Schueching (spelling in England) died in the second quarter of 1965 in the London borough of Hendon.
