Ursula Forberger
Ursula Forberger , b. Claus (born September 16, 1926 in Dresden ; † April 3, 2006 ibid), was a German economic historian and bookseller.
Life
She was born in Dresden, the capital of Saxony, as the daughter of the Reichsbahn chief inspector Claus and a commercial clerk. She went to school there, saw her father being disciplined and her hometown badly destroyed in bombing raids in 1945 . After she was denied becoming a librarian, after graduating from high school in 1946, she began an apprenticeship at the Tegge bookstore in Dresden, which she completed in 1948. Through the book trade she got to know the work of the Nestor of Saxon Economic History Rudolf Forberger (1910–1997), whom she married in 1952. The couple had two sons. From her he received active support in his scientific work. While she initially supported her husband with the paperwork, it was soon research and substantive preparatory work that she helped him with. The focus of their joint scientific research was always on Saxon economic history.
One of their most important collaborative works appeared in 1982 with the two-volume publication Die Industrielle Revolution in Sachsen . Ursula Forberger's second half volume contained the tabellarium on factory development in Saxony, in which she compiled over 200 factories in 111 Saxon cities and villages.
After the death of her husband at the end of 1997, she completed his publications and in 1999 presented the text volume for the second main stage of the industrial revolution in Saxony. In 2003, the final second half volume of the second main volume followed with the title Revolution of the Productive Forces in Saxony 1831–1861: Overviews of Factory Development , which was published as the 18th volume in the series Sources and Research on Saxon History by Franz Steiner Verlag.
In addition, she wrote several specialist articles, including for the Dresdner Hefte and the Sächsische Heimatblätter , and wrote for the Sächsische Biographie .
