Wladimir von Hartlieb

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wladimir Freiherr von Hartlieb (actually Wladimir Freiherr von Wallthor ; born on February 19, 1887 in Görz , Kronland Görz and Gradisca ; died on September 2, 1951 in Werfen ) was an Austrian writer, theater critic and member of the Spannkreis .

Life

Hartlieb was the son of the Austro-Hungarian Major General Moritz Leopold Hartlieb Freiherr von Wallthor (1852-1936) and his wife, the Italian Gisella Anna Maria Hartlieb Freiin von Wallthor, née Florio (1859-1927). He spent his childhood in various types of garrison. Around 1898 he came to Vienna , where he attended the Theresianum and then studied law at the University of Vienna . In 1910 he received his doctorate there. After a brief employment in the civil service, he lived in Vienna as a freelance writer and journalist, wrote theater reviews for the Neue Wiener Tageblatt and made numerous trips through Europe. In 1917 he received the Bauernfeld Prize . From 1919 he used the pseudonym Wladimir Freiherr von Hartlieb .

He was one of the so-called "national authors" and in 1933 advocated the annexation of Austria to the German Reich . He was a supporter of Othmar Spann , one of the pioneers of Austrofascism and theoretician of the corporate state , and published as a member of the "Spannkreis" from 1934 in its magazine Ständisches Leben . From 1934/1935 to 1936/1937 he was editor of the magazine Der Augarten, which was initially related to the Spannkreis .

Hartlieb was married several times. First marriage from 1913 to 1922 with Theodora Panitza (1886–1981), second marriage with Emma Schnepp, née Singer (1888–1943). In 1932 this marriage was declared invalid. In 1933 he married Berta Camilla Nussbaum, called "Milla" (1879–1942, changed name to Hazay from 1928 ). She was the daughter of a Jewish tailor, which is why Hartlieb divorced her by mutual agreement in 1938. The divorced woman was deported on July 22, 1942 and murdered in the Theresienstadt concentration camp in the same year . Her fate was dealt with in 2006 by Friederika Richter, the partner of Hartlieb's nephew, in a biography ( Berta Camilla Sara von Hartlieb. An extraordinary Viennese Jew and Wladimir von Hartlieb ). Since his second wife was also of Jewish origin, Hartlieb was initially banned from writing , but was then able to become a member of the Reichsschrifttumskammer.He withdrew an application for membership in the NSDAP and after 1941 increasingly distanced himself from National Socialism . In 1941, his fourth marriage was to the painter and photographer Maria Klinger, called "Zimse" (1889–1976), who belonged to the wider circle and was a mutual friend of Hartlieb and Milla. Hartlieb secured their assets materially in the period after the end of the Third Reich. During these years Hartlieb turned to the teachings of Theodor Haecker and the religious essay ( On the question of whether God is 1951), but remained connected to the tension circle and published in its series Stifterbibliothek .

In his political writings in 1939 he still showed himself to be close to National Socialism ( slogan: Das Reich ). The basis was a culturally pessimistic attitude, shaped by Catholic conservatism, which was also reflected in his “Satires against the Left in Europe” ( I laughed in 1933) and in the “heroic fantasy” Friedericus Rex (1935), in which he propagated the historically powerful leader. In his poetry he was based on classical forms such as the sonnet , his plays were unsuccessful.

Hartlieb died in 1951. His estate is in the Austrian National Library .
