Eugenie Hirschberg-Pucher (1862 – 30 April 1937)[3] was a Latvian poet and writer. Most of her work was published in the Latvian German-language press in the early 1900s.[4]
Biography[edit]
Eugenie Pucher was born in Mitau, Courland, to Rabbi Solomon Pucher and his wife Rosa.[4] She married ophthalmologist Wilhelm (Wulff) Hirschberg in 1887. They lived in Vitebsk, Kharkov, and the Yekaterinoslav Governorate before settling permanently in Riga in 1911. There she operated a salon for local writers and artists.[4]
She made her literary debut in 1886 with the poetry collection Schülerliebe. In 1896 she anonymously published the story Ihre Kreutzersonate, which was met with acclaim.[5]
