She lived there until 1934 when she moved to Kassel. She attended high school in Arolsen and Kassel, completing her Abitur (highschool graduation) in 1941. During the war years, she was drafted for service in the General Command in Kassel, and then as a bookkeeper in an aircraft factory in Halle. After the war, she received a diploma as librarian in Stuttgart. She studied economics, literature, art history and psychology in Marburg, where for two semesters she was director of the ''Mensa Academica.'' During that time, she wrote articles for the magazine ''Frauenwelt (Women's World)'' in Nuremberg. From 1948 to 1958, she was married to the industrial designer Werner Brückner (1920–1977). In 1960 she returned to Kassel, where, from 1967, she lived with her second husband and fellow writer Otto Heinrich Kühner (1921–1996), with whom she collaborated on several works. From 1980 to 1984, she was Vice-President of the German PEN Center. Christine Brückner is an honorary citizen of the city of Kassel. She died in 1996, ten weeks after her husband. The couple is buried in Schmillinghausen. In 1984, they established the Brückner-Kühner Foundation, which since 1985 has awarded the Kassel Literary Prize for Grotesque Humor. The Foundation, now located in the house in which Christine Brückner and her husband lived, functions today as a center for comic literature and as a small museum that can be visited by appointment. 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「Christine Brückner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
