Lotte Ingrisch

Lotte Ingrisch, birthname Charlotte Gruber (July 20 1930 in Vienna), daughter of Emma and Karl Gruber, is a well known Austrian author and playwright.

From 1949 to 1965, the author was married to the Austrian philosopher Hugo Ingrisch. In 1966, she married Austrian composer Gottfried von Einem (died 1996), for whom she wrote a number of libretti.

During the fifties and sixties, Lotte Ingrisch published some novels under the name of "Tessa Tüvari".

From the seventies onward, she became a renowned playwright (stage and radio) and wrote libretti for her husband's operas.

Most of her literary work is of outspoken esoteric content. Lotte Ingrisch thus became a well known figure in the Austrian New Age scene.

A good part of her extensive literary work has been translated into English, Spanish and other world languages.
