Эльзе Ласкер-Шюлер: Өмірі мен шығармашылығы

Jewish German poet

Else Lasker Schüler (née Elisabeth Schüler) (; 11 February 1869 – 22 January 1945) was a German Jewish poet and playwright famous for her bohemian lifestyle in Berlin and her poetry. She was one of the few women affiliated with the Expressionist movement. Lasker Schüler fled Nazi Germany and lived out the rest of her life in Jerusalem.

The 20th century Scottish poet Hugh MacDiarmid included a translation of an extract from Lasker Schüler's work in his long poem A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle, 1926. (Lines 401–410.) German composers Margarete Schweikert and Luise Schulze Berghof set Lasker Schuler's poems to music.

There is a memorial plaque to Else Lasker Schüler at Motzstraße 7, Berlin Schöneberg, where she lived from 1924 to 1933. Part of this street was renamed Else Lasker Schüler Straße in 1996. In Elberfeld in Wuppertal there is now a school named after her (The "School without Racism"), and a memorial stele was erected on Herzogstraße, Wuppertal. The Else Lasker Schüler Society was founded 1990 in Wuppertal by journalist Hajo Jahn. In more than 20 international symposia from Breslau to Tel Aviv, the works of the poet were introduced and discussed in relation to the relevance for the presence and future. In Jerusalem, there is a small street named for Else Lasker Schüler in the neighborhood of Nayot – Rehov Else. Perched on a ridge in the Jerusalem Forest, very close to the Kennedy Memorial (Yad Kennedy), was a sculpture in her honor resembling a slender tree trunk with wings. It was placed there in 1997, and was stolen, probably by metal thieves, in July 2007. In 2007, her final days in Jerusalem were commemorated in the BBC radio play My Blue Piano by the Scottish playwright Marty Ross (Radio 4 2007) which combined the facts of her dying days with the fantasies of her inner life. On 7 February 2020, Google celebrated her with a Google Doodle.

Mein Herz – niemandem! (1997) by Helma Sanders Brahms features Lena Stolze as the poet. It climaxes with the paradox of her deep bond with Gottfried Benn, an acclaimed poet and physician, who publicly supported the Nazi regime even as Lasker Schüler was forced into exile.
