Marieluise Fleißer was born on November 23, 1901 in Ingolstadt as the third of seven children. In Munich, she studied drama with Arthur Kutscher, the publisher of Wedekind's works. The years between 1924 and 1932 in Munich, Ingolstadt and Berlin were all about their love for Bert Brecht and his almost overpowering influence. Marieluise Fleißer's dramatic first performance was premiered in Berlin in 1926 under the title »Purgatory in Ingolstadt«, and received unanimous respect by the critical popes of the literary scene. The Bavarian-Catholic province, however, thought differently about it. Only in her last decade of life experienced Marieluise Fleißer as a literary foster mother of a new generation of authors of political folk plays and recognition by literary prizes, performances and television adaptations, before she died on February 2, 1974 in her native city.
