Origin, study, library work

Ricarda Huch was born into a merchant family in her generation brought forth several part extremely productive writer - her brother and her cousins, Rudolf Friedrich and Felix were well-known writers - and grew up in Brunswick. As the woman studying in Germany was not possible in Switzerland, she studied history and philosophy and a doctorate in 1892 at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Zurich with a historical work on "The neutrality of the Confederation during the Spanish War of Succession." Since her student days she was with the veterinarian Marianne Plehn friends who would later become the first German professor in Bavaria. In the Zurich Pension Walder in Hottingen [1] Huch learned her lifelong friend, the chemistry student Marienbaum know, who was born in Danzig, 1874 († 1964) and its 1950 a biographical memorial set: Luminous track.

During her studies at the University of Zurich Ricarda Huch has worked since 1889 as an unpaid assistant in the Public Library in Zurich. Their work concentrated on the first formal collection of brochures from about 6000 to the extent of the revolution time of collection Usteri. Two years later, was created especially for the young student a secretarial position, which she at first November 1891 took. The task area consisted primarily of correspondence and processing of pamphlets. From the private letters Ricarda Huch shows that the library everyday they often boring and dull, is felt even in calls as. On the other hand, they seemed to be in the habit of the library clerk to please again.

During their term of service, which lasted until 1894, appeared in Berlin Ricarda Huch Evoè first play! That found in the press favorable reception, although the encyclopedic, erudite style was criticized. Parallel to the library activity Huch began to teach at the school for girls, an activity which should push the work in the library ever more marginalized, until the autumn of 1894 Richarda Huch filed the application for discharge. After her resignation from the Public Library appeared in the year 1895, the Journal wrote of their New Year on the news collected by the Zurich Chorherrn Johann Jakob Wick. Inspired by Wicks description of an exorcism, Yikes out in the Sunday newspaper published by the Government constitutes a novella titled devilry. Posthumous Papers of the scribe Potzmanterle.

Yikes worked as a librarian and - of this little work met - as a teacher in Zurich and Bremen. From 1897 she lived in Vienna, where she married in 1898 the dentist Ermanno Ceconi. She followed him to his home town of Trieste 1898-1900, which was then part of Austria. During this time she worked as the first history of Italian unification "Risorgimento", led by Giuseppe Garibaldi. Because they had acquired in this research service to Italy, it was estimated by the Italian fascists, why she was not persecuted in Nazi Germany (see below).

Long as she lived - intermittently - in Munich (1912-1916, 1918-1927), which has created many important books, including her biography of Michael Bakunin and the Anarchy (1923). Here they came into contact with the women's movement, with its Vordenkerinnen Ika Freudenberg and Gertrud Bäumer she corresponded. Katia Mann describes in her memoirs that her children were with Ermanno Ceconi in dental treatment. [2] In the years 1927 to 1932, she and her daughter spent the Marietta in Berlin, she received the news of the death Ceconis. Here was a work of the German revolution of 1848-49 Old and New Gods (1930).
During the period of National Socialism [Edit]

After the "seizure" of the National Socialists refused Ricarda Huch a request made by the members of the Prussian Academy of Arts declaration of loyalty to the new regime on the grounds that they "... several of the now acts performed by the new government vehemently disapproved". [3 ] In protest against the exclusion of Alfred Doblin from the regimented academy under its president, Max von Schillings, they still came out in the spring of 1933 as the first member. This fact was not published in the Third Reich.

The behavior of the new rulers against her remained contradictory. Although Huch got on her 80th Personal birthday congratulatory telegrams from Goebbels and Hitler, but in the press was not allowed to mention her birthday. They knew that they Nazism hostile to, but would not proceed because of their Italian connections and because of the feared negative propaganda effect against them.

The first volume, published their 1934 German history, which saw the regime as an implicit criticism was panned by the official literary criticism. Only Schneider her work praised in a book review [4] and underlined its basic assertion even with an even religious philosophy in the same issue appearing treatise [5] was to understand hardly anything other than open criticism of the fact that National Socialism, the German people in a fatal had glorified as God's chosen people. The second volume was published in 1937 only with great difficulty, the third and last, in 1941, completed in no more band ever. It was not published until 1949, two years after the death of Ricarda Huch, in Zurich.

The period from 1935 to 1947, where she lived with her daughter and her husband Franz Bohm in Jena, can be up to the end of the war described as inner emigration. This was characterized by numerous contacts with Yikes, enemies of the Nazi regime. Because in the era of National Socialism had little houses in which an honest word could be spoken, developed Ricarda Huch's apartment at the former Upper Philosophers (now Ricarda-Huch-way) to a Gesprächsort, where in addition to artists and scientists, people wrong, who themselves or whose relatives later in the failed assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler on 20 July 1944 were involved. My son had only thanks to a Namensverwechselung that he is not in the course of the persecutions after 20 July was arrested. Huch and he had with a private invitation in May 1937 criticized the policies of the Nazis, after which both were denounced by the high school teacher Richard Kolb [6] and Boehm was subsequently removed from the teaching position at the University of Jena. Yikes, and thus were Boehm, however, under the patronage of the Nazi Reich Minister of Justice Franz Gurtner. [7] In 1944 received the Wilhelm Raabe Huch Prize.
Last years

Women and men to put a monument of resistance, the now gray-haired poet was a task which they had planned for the period after the "Third Reich". Noted this project, the CVs of the Resistance fighters succeeded in biographies, not completely. After all, she managed the Munich White Rose and Sophie Scholl memorize for posterity. The work was continued after her death of the author Günther Weisenborn, but Huch's original intention was completely wrong. Only in 1997 the original papers were published in the Leipzig University Press: to gather in a memorial book.

In the immediate postwar period, the attempted communist and Russian authorities about Ricarda Huch to win for themselves: the Jena drew from Friedrich-Schiller-University Huch 1946 with the honorary doctorate. On the first German Writers' Congress in Berlin after the war, she could hold a much-publicized speech. She was also a member and elder member of the Consultative Assembly of Thuringia state [8] [9], the first pre-Parliament appointed the reconstructed state of Thuringia. Nevertheless, they fled from the newly burgeoning totalitarianism on German soil to Frankfurt, following revelations of her son, Franz Böhm, Hesse Minister of Education. The long trip in an unheated train across the border had their health sector has grown but no longer. In the guest house of the city of Frankfurt in Schoenberg died on the morning of the 17th November 1947. In the main cemetery in Frankfurt found an honored grave (grave situation: Won II, 204) [10].

Ricarda Huch was married twice, first with the Italian dentist Ermanno Ceconi, shortly thereafter, and unhappy with their young swarm in-law Richard Huch.
