INTRODUCTION
How I met
Oberstudiendirektorin [OStDir.] Marie Therese Cabisius (31.8.1895 -
5.1.1989)!
Our class of
Abendgymnasium Bremen
made a journey to East-Germany
in / DDR in 1968 with our
"Deutsch"-teacher Erich
Trittin. His headmaster in Schule
Karlstraße of
Bremen was
OStDir. Marie Therese
Cabisius. As they both came
very good along he took she with us to a journey through East-Germany. At that time
this was only possible, because he was
the leader of the Goethe-Society in
Bremen, the only connection with
Weimar,
DDR, beside Mozart-Society.
In
Weimar my aunt
Martha
Langin nee
Blankenforth from Halle,
DDR, visited us
in Hotel "Hospiz". There M.Th.C. watched me and asked Mr. Trittin who I am. The
reason for this is that she was interested in Dr. Fritz
Holborn, assistent in physics at the
University of (?)Berlin. Because of the war there was no chance to come together.
But
he was still always precious for her and present in her mind
(special as a scientist?)!
...
And I was reminding her to Dr.
Fritz Holborn.
(I am very lucky and thankful because of this fact!)
M.Th.C. was unmarried and was only
prepared by helping other people.
But opposite there is not a chance to help her. Except in 1968 the winter was terrific cold. My classmate
(girlfriend) Ulla
(now my wife: Dr. phil. Dipl.-Päd.) and me then got a chance to help her from the
Wartburg in Eisenach down to the waiting bus.
As the whe ways were very slippery.
There
she asked me what she could do for me. Immediatly I answered: Helping
me in mathematics (although I was not too bad just in this subject).
She became my great
mentor and later the
(adopting-)mother of our
family!
The children
called her "Omimi"!
Highest respect!
