Sophie Rogge-Borner

Sophie Rogge-Börner , also: Pia Sophie Rogge-Börner , pseudonym : Christa Hoch (born July 24, 1878 in Warendorf as Pia Sophie Börner ; † February 7, 1955 in Düsseldorf ) was a German writer .

Life

Sophie Rogge-Börner was the daughter of a Prussian officer . She grew up in various garrison towns . In 1896 she passed the state examination for higher education. In 1910 she married Max Rogge, the chief medical officer of the Navy , with whom she had a son. In 1912 she published a volume of short stories . After the First World War , Sophie Rogge-Börner began to get involved in politics and in 1919 became a member of the German National People's Party , from which she left again in 1923. She became increasingly radicalized and joined the National Socialist Freedom Movement (NSFB) and the “German Women's Order” (DFO), a forerunner organization of the Nazi women's body , in which she wanted to achieve a leadership position. When the NSFB was absorbed into the NSDAP in 1925 , it had already left the party. In the DFO, she was unable to assert herself against its founder Elsbeth Zander with her ideas of a “national women's movement” .

From the mid- twenties she published numerous pamphlets and magazine articles in which she propagated her goal, the social emancipation of “ Aryan ” women. In 1929/30 she was briefly a member of the German National Freedom Movement . From 1933 to 1937 she was the publisher of the Berlin magazine Die deutsche Kämpferin . This publication was banned in 1937 by the National Socialist authorities, who saw in Rogge-Börner's national feminism tendencies towards a kind of undesirable opposition to the ruling National Socialist ideology . In the following years until the end of the Second World War , Rogge-Börner shifted the focus of her work to the publication of literary works that were strongly influenced by Nordic mythology . The author last lived in Düsseldorf .

In the Soviet occupation zone , Rogge-Börner's writings An consecrated fountain (German construction, Weimar 1928), I call the living! 10 years of war guilt lies (Verlagsgesellschaft Deutscher Herold, Berlin 1929), Nordic thought and responsibility (Klein, Leipzig 1930), Der Kornett (Schünemann, Bremen 1936) and Die Brücke (Spiegel-Verlag, Berlin 1944) put on the list of literature to be discarded. In the GDR this list was followed by Back to Mother Right? (Klein, Leipzig 1932), The Inner Shape of the Nordic Woman (Bott, Berlin 1937) and Auf Ahnengrund (Maassen, Düsseldorf 1943).
