Abstract:
Detailed family history. Rosenberg-Borchardt writes about her parents and their life. Both, father and mother came from Koenigsberg and spent their first years of marriage in Moscow. The father was a tea merchant, like his father before, and he also spent some time in London. She writes about her childhood, the relationship to her brothers and sisters, about a summer in Russia, at a house (Datsche) in Sokolniki near Moscow, about the house in Berlin-Wannsee, how she met her husband Hans Rosenberg, her letters to him and his letters to her. Later she tells about her marriage, the first years in Strassburg, their children and their move to Goettingen in 1907. She tells about her brother Rudolf Borchardt, his skills and his relationship to his family. The memoir includes a letter fragment of Edith Curtius Fransecki, where she writes about Rudolf Borchardt. It also reports about Borchardt's first trip to Italy. Later the memoir observes an unfulfilled love of Rudolf to Kaethe Rosenberg and his letters to Vera and Kaethe. The author also writes about the struggles of Rudolf Borchardt's life and his conflict with his family. He later married Lina Ehrmann and emigrated to Italy. The memoir contains one letter of Lina Borchardt and Rudolf Borchardt (date Dec. 1906). At that time Vera reconciled with Rudolf Borchardt.
Abstract:
The memoir refers also to the family history of the Rosenbergs and gives an account of the grandfather of her husband, Ernst Dohm, one of the founders of the satirical magazine “Kladderadatsch”. The author tells about two letters of Bismarck to the “Kladderadatsch”. Rosenbergs grandmother was Hedwig Dohm, a famous fighter for the equal rights of women. Rosenberg-Borchardt mentions Heinz and Peter Pringsheim, the cousins of Hans Rosenberg. A daughter of Hedwig Dohm was married to Alfred Pringsheim, the father of Katja Pringsheim, who later became the wife of Thomas Mann.
Abstract:
From the age of 16/17 Vera Rosenberg-Borchardt was deeply influenced by the famous mathematician Edmund Landau, who came as a friend of Rudolf Borchardt into the house of the Borchardt family. Pages are missing. There is no information about the family life after the move to Goettingen.
