520 _a"Der wilde Garten" by Grete von Urbanitzky is a novel written in the early 20th century. It follows the devoted teacher Fräulein Dr. Hanna Südekum as she tries to guide adolescent girls—especially Gertrud—through awakening, rebellion, and the constraints and blind spots of adult society while confronting her own loneliness. Parallel strands with a sensitive boy she tutors and a magnetic sculptor who unsettles a bourgeois couple widen the story into a study of desire, authority, and modernity. The opening of the novel shows Hanna in her modest room comforting Gertrud, whose mother has torn up a secret notebook of treasured quotations, and recalls how Hanna first won the troubled girl’s trust after a schoolyard clash. Three years pass: Hanna’s life is wholly bound to the girls’ school; she mistrusts parents’ evasions, tutors a boy (Erwin) who idolizes a powerful statesman, and is disturbed when a young couple she knows return entranced by the free-spirited sculptor Alexandra. As puberty transforms her class—bringing giggles, panic, and a classmate’s death from illness—an anonymous report leads Hanna and a colleague to a night club, where they find a pupil with an actor and then heading to a hotel, a shock compounded when Hanna later glimpses her married friend in an intimate night scene. She struggles to teach amid the girls’ new obsessions, grows painfully distant from Gertrud, and suffers a private crisis about aging and solitude; the section closes with another student, Grete, raging at adult lies and at books that ignore girls’ inner battles.
