About the author
Anna Schaeder, née Sellschopp, was a German author of children's and youth literature. Reliable catalog and reference sources identify her as living from 1867 to 1948, and list her as the author of works including Hannis Heimkehr: Klänge aus goldenen Jugendtagen and Goldene Fäden: Ein Buch vom glücklich machen und glücklich sein für junge Mädchen.
Her writing seems aimed at young readers, especially girls, with titles that point to a mix of storytelling, moral reflection, and domestic warmth. Hannis Heimkehr appeared in the early 20th century, and later library records show that her books continued to be preserved and circulated as part of German-language children's literature.
She also belonged to an academically notable family: scholarly sources describe her as the wife of theologian Erich Schaeder and the mother of several distinguished children, including the historian Hildegard Schaeder and the orientalist Hans Heinrich Schaeder. Even from the small record that survives online, she comes across as a writer whose work was closely connected to family life, education, and the inner world of young readers.
