Synopsis

They were closely connected: the Bodes from Braunschweig, who could look back on a long ancestor row of well-known scholars, and the Rimpaus, innovative farmers with knightly estates near Halberstadt. But even if it seemed that the two were intended for each other from childhood, it has taken a long time for the aspiring art historian Wilhelm Bode (1845-1929), who was to become general director of the Berlin museums (and was ennobled in 1914), and his cousin Marie Rimpau (1914). 845-1 8885) gave each other the yes. Because the resistance of families to this relative marriage was great. Based on the predominantly unpublished letters and family chronicles by Wilhelm Bode and Marie Rimpau, Birgit Jochens gives an insight into the life world of large-bourgeois milieus in the second half of the 19th century. In the correspondence, the lesser-known, the private Wilhelm Bode comes into view. Although obsessed with museum work, he proves himself to be a loving, humorous and self-irony family person who had to wrestle with his problematic condition - with illness, exuberant self-confidence and quarrels. The letters Marie Rimpaus in turn make known with a strong woman who found fulfillment in living together with her "Bodo" and in participating in his work.
