Berlin women:Luise Greger

 

"Luise Greger was a German composer and pianist" (Wikipedia). She grew up playing the piano and was really good at it. She started composer at the age of 11. She was composing, playing, and teaching music all on her own. She married Dr. Ludwig Greger but later divorce him to pursue her music. She traveled all over to put on performance. In 1939, she moved to an elderly home and in 1943 she was placed in a mental institution where she died because of starvation (due to Nazi regime). BYU student decided to recover her music a couple years ago. They wanted to bring her music back to life.

I think what makes Luise Greger contribution to Berlin so important was how skilled she was as a composer. She started composer at such a young age and was well loved by people. She is an example that women can be great composer and to let your talent be seen. She kept on composer music well into her seventies. The Nazi covered up her work which is unfortunate but now her work is being rediscovered. That shows that great works can't be destroy and it alway finds it way back to the spotlight. Simply she is a great role model for girls who want to compose music. 

I do not think that Luise Greger is commemorated well. She doesn't have a plaque or a stature dedicated to her in Berlin. Her work is slowly started to resurface but I think every one desire to hear her music. She was an amazing composer and wasn't fully appreciated. She had a very depressing death, which she didn't deserve, and she need a plaque or a stature to reflect her achievement. I also think that orchestras should preform her songs. Her songs deserve to be heard by everyone and gets it's spotlight. She deserves to be heard by people.
