«Kindheit in Ostpreußen» is the autobiography of Marion Gräfin Dönhoff, published by Siedler Verlag in hardback (221 pages, in German).
Evocation of Marion Dönhoff's childhood in East Prussia at the beginning of the 20th century: Friedrichstein Castle, the region's forests and lakes, and the conventions of the landowning aristocracy. Amid memories of her father, brothers, servants and governesses, a questioning emerges of a world that relegated women.
Published in 1988, the work covers the period 1909-1924 and was written twenty-five years after Marion Dönhoff's flight chronicle «Namen, die keiner mehr nennt».
For readers interested in aristocratic memoirs, German social history and early 20th-century East Prussia.
