Deutsch: Gedenkstele

Frauen der Ulmer Stadtgeschichte – Anna Essinger
15.9.1879 Ulm – 30.5.1960 Bunce Court
Die Pädagogin Anna Essinger wurde hier geboren. Nach einem USA Aufenthalt gründete sie 1926 in Herrlingen das erste reformpädagogische Landschulheim Württembergs. 1933 emigrierte sie mit ihren Schülern nach England.

Dort wurde ihre Schule Heimat für verfolgte Kinder, besonders nach den Novemberpogromen 1938. Mit ihren Schwestern Paula und Bertha arbeitete sie „an einer Welt, in der waches geistiges Leben, gegenseitige Achtung und Verantwortlichkeit für die Gemeinschaft höher bewertet wird als aller Besitz.” Als sie 1948 ihre Schule schloss, hatten über 900 Kinder in Herrlingen und Bunce Court Zuflucht und Geborgenheit gefunden.
