Barbara Goette (26 July 1908 - 23 October 1997) was an academic who lived in Germany and then Australia. She was the private secretary of Ludwig Roselius〔 from 1935 to 1943 who created the Böttcherstraße, Café HAG and financed Focke-Wulf. == Life and career == Barbara matriculated in Kassel in 1928 and began studying mathematics, physics and philosophy at Freiburg University and then Kiel where she took her state examinations in 1934/35. She met Dr Ludwig Roselius through the marriage of her brother to his youngest daughter and he suggested she work for the concern. Barbara became his companion, carer, confidante and collaborator. On 18/9/1936 during a meeting in Berlin, the RLM recommended reconstruction of Focke-Wulf with 50% going to the Reich (state) and 50% to a large electronics concern.〔OMGUS document declassified per Executive Order 12958, Section 3.5 NND Project Number: NND 775058 By: NND Date: 1977〕 A short time later the Roselius concern became majority shareholder with 46% and Lorenz (ITT) secured 27.8%. The aircraft company was reconstituted as Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau GmbH. Barbara was instrumental in assisting with this and the Böttcherstrasse was reclassified as 'degenerate art'.〔Volker Bergmann, Willi Elmers, Manfred Fittgau, Michael Jung, Dieter Pfliegensdörfer, Michael Wolf unter Mitarbeit von Wolfgang Günther. Wellblech und Windkanal: Steintor, 1989 ISBN 3-926028-51-3〕 After Dr Roselius died in May 1943 she lectured in English at the Humboldt Hochschule in Berlin until the premises were demolished during a bombing raid. In 1944 she started studying for her Ph.D. in philosophy at Kiel where she met Dr J.P. Leidig and they married in February 1945. Shortly after the war she acted as an interpreter for the military police in Gunzenhausen, Bavaria. In 1950 the family settled in Adelaide, Australia. Dr Leidig died in 1957 and Barbara was left with two sons. She never remarried and taught mathematics at Woodlands for 23 years. One year she had 4 out of the top 10 students in South Australia in her class and she received a congratulatory phone call from the Adelaide University Mathematics Department. She also worked as mathematics teacher until she was 81 at the Muirden College matriculation centre. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barbara Goette」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
