Olga Haring

Born (1866-05-18)18 May 1866
Died 1943(1943-00-00) (aged 76–77)
Occupations landowner, landlady, poet

Olga Haring (18 May 1866 – 1943) was a Slovenian landowner and poet.

She was born into a wealthy Slovenian family on 18 May 1866 in Črnomelj.[1][2] Her mother, Zofija Kapelle (1843–1929), was a large landowner and landlady, a collector of national embroidery, painted Easter eggs, and other folk artefacts, and a patriot.[2][3][1] Her father was Teodor Haring, whom her mother had been forced to marry at the age of nineteen by her father; he later abandoned her mother and disappeared to America before Olga’s birth.[4][2][1] She had an older brother who died at the age of six in 1869.[5][6] Olga wished to become a teacher, and after completing elementary education she attended a teachers’ training college run by the Ursuline nuns in Ljubljana.[2] She and her mother appear together in one of the oldest private photographs in Slovenia, taken around 1880 by Josip Nikolaj Sadnikar.[7][2]

While still young she fell ill and was therefore forced to leave the teachers’ college.[2] Later, as a result of illness, she became blind.[2][8][9] She remained with her mother, and the two supported themselves through renting out property.[2] Her mother’s house, the Viniški Manor at Suhi most in Črnomelj, was a gathering place for nationally conscious Slovenes. Among their visitors were the teacher and ethnologist Leopoldina Bavdek – Poldka, who also collaborated with her mother; the veterinarian and collector of antiquities and artworks Josip Nikolaj Sadnikar; the painter Ferdo Vesel, husband of painter Jessie Case Vesel; the painter Maksim Gaspari; and the publicist and ethnographer Božo Račič.[2][8][3][10] In 1913 they were also visited by the Russian soprano singer and ethnologist Yevgeniya Paprits Linyevna (1854–1919).[11][2]

She was engaged in writing poetry. Because of her blindness, she dictated her poems.[9] One notebook of her poems has been preserved.[9][8] A selection of her poems was published in the book In Črnomelj They Have Always Been Merry … (V Črnomlju od nekdaj bili so veseli …) by the ethnologist Marjetka Balkovec Debevec, published in 2008.[8][12]

Later life and death

[edit]

After her mother’s death in 1928, she inherited her estate.[3][13] She never married and had no children.[14] She died in early 1943 in Črnomelj.[14][15]
