Marlen Haushofer, a renowned Austrian writer, entered this world on April 11, 1920, in the picturesque municipality of Frauenstein, situated within the Upper Austria region. This remarkable individual would go on to leave an indelible mark on the literary world, with her notable works including the critically acclaimed novels "The Wall" and "Killing Stella", both published in the 21st century.
Marlen's personal life was marked by a long-lasting marriage to Manfred Haushofer, a union that would endure throughout her life. Despite her literary success, Marlen's time on this earth was tragically cut short, as she departed this mortal coil on March 21, 1970, in the vibrant city of Vienna, Austria.
