Eisenschmitt Village Fountain "The Women’s Village"
Highlight • Monument
"... The place Eisenschmitt served the writer Clara Viebig (1860-1952) as a model for her novel Das Weiberdorf, which describes life in the small place "Eifelschmitt". The background of the novel is a special feature of the village community: Due to the decreasing iron ore in the area around Eisenschmitt, the able-bodied men became guest workers in the Ruhr area towards the end of the 19th century. They earned a living for themselves and their families in the up-and-coming steelworks. The women stayed behind, all of whom worked during the long absence of their husbands Had to do work in the house and field alone - hence the name of the novel Das Weiberdorf.The description of these conditions was felt by many contemporaries to be scandalous, since women played a role that was not common at the time.
Scenes from the novel are depicted on the village fountain in front of the church. Since June 2005, the Clara Viebig Center in Eisenschmitt has commemorated the writer. The center is housed in the former residential and commercial building of the Jewish family of Simon Samuel, who in 1902 acquired the residential building and the already established general store from the Jewish merchant Emanuel Müller. The family lived in the house until the pogrom night of 1938, when all the premises were devastated and the business inventory was destroyed. Simon Samuel was forced to sell the house; already on February 14, 1939 he moved with his wife Malchen Schlachter to Berlin-Pankow to live with a daughter, where he died two years later. ..."
