Aenne

Description

“I will show that miracles are possible.” With this attitude, the Offenburg publisher Aenne Burda demonstrates the power of her unyielding creative will. Raised as a railway child in Offenburg, she never wanted to settle for the role of housewife exemplified by her mother; she did not want to give up half of life. She wanted everything: family happiness, children, yes, but also professional success, money, and recognition, and she also wanted to embody beauty and sex appeal. With Burda Moden, Aenne Burda creates a global company in just a few years. She becomes an icon of female entrepreneurship, a cosmopolitan living in the provinces, and makes women around the world into modern, confident women. Aenne is the German economic miracle woman. Edzard Schoppmann depicts her dazzling life in his staging through scenes, dialogues, music, and songs, from the railway child to her marriage with Dr. Franz Burda. From the wife who is repeatedly betrayed, to her giving up her first publishing house as reparation to her husband. From the successful businesswoman who takes lovers, to the grand dame who becomes lonely in her villa on Offenburger Eisenbahndamm in old age. Director: Edzard Schoppmann Language version: German Duration: 2 hours 20 minutes with a break “Aenne” is supported by the regional foundation of Sparkasse Offenburg/Ortenau.
