After graduating from the Dolmetscher-Institut (Interpreters Institute) of the University of Heidelberg, Gertraude Krueger dabbled in event planning and teaching English before becoming a freelance translator of German to English in 1977. She was active as a mentor and juror from 1977-2004 while on the board of the Verbands deutschsprachiger Literaturübersetzer (Association of German-Language Literary Translators) and continues her translation work today.
The Krueger mss., 1988-1993, consist of translations from English into German of literary works by British authors Julian Barnes and William Boyd. The translator is Gertraude Krueger of Berlin and the translations were published by Haffmans Verlag in Zurich in the case of Barnes and by Rowohlt Verlag in Hamburg for Boyd.
Additions to the Krueger mss., 1995-1996, are first draft translations into German of two books by American author Valerie Wilson Wesley: When Death Comes Stealing (New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1994) and Devil's Gonna Get Him (New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1995). The former was published as Ein Engel über deinem Grab (Zurich: Diogenes Verlag, 1996); the latter as In Teufels Küche (Zurich: Diogenes Verlag, 1998). Both manuscripts are accompanied by photocopies of correspondence from Krueger to her editor at Diogenes Verlag as well as notes and queries regarding appropriate translations of words and phrases.
This collection is arranged according to fonds: Barnes, Julian; Boyd, William; Wesley, Valerie Wilson; Doctorow, E. L.; Lahiri, Jhumpa. The ordering of fonds loosely reflects the chronology of acquisition.
