Life

Stina Beutinger was born as the daughter of the architect and later Mayor of Heilbronn , Emil Beutinger . She had a brother named Erik and a sister named Brita. She studied art history in Munich , but had to interrupt her studies because of the charges brought against her father, who had been removed from office by the National Socialists . In 1939 she was able to do her doctorate after all; the title of her dissertation was Saint Vitus and his pictorial representation up to the end of the Middle Ages . The doctoral supervisor was Hans Jantzen . In 1944 she married, according to the words of her friend Hanne Trautwein , “the charming in knight crosses”, with whom she then lived at Rheinbergerstraße 1 in Munich. Stina Kobell worked as a museum curator after the Second World War .

She had been friends with Hanne Trautwein and Hermann Lenz since their student days. She is mentioned several times in the couple's correspondence published in 2018. Lenz's novel Neue Zeit tells, among other things, how she lends a pistol to Eugen Rapp, the alter ego Lenz, because he is threatened by a fellow student and former classmate of his girlfriend. This appears in the novel under the name Hackl; his real name was Franz Joseph Strauss . Hackl and Strauss later offered the couple his help. The half-Jewish Hanne Trautwein was endangered in the Third Reich . Through Stina Beutinger's mediation, she got a job at the Weinmüller auction house in February 1942 , which she did not lose when Weinmüller had to cut staff.

Stina Kobell was over a hundred years old. On the occasion of her 103rd birthday, an article was published in Heilbronner Voice on July 19, 2012, from which it emerged that she spent her retirement years in a nursing home in Oberstenfeld .
