Since 1934 her villa on Fuchsstraße in Munich-Schwabing became a gathering place for friends of that kind and later also for soldiers who had returned home, with whom she knew she had a connection through her love of literature and religion: 'Her form of resistance consisted in refusing the claims of an almost completely organized group Nazi society, which also knew how to tie literary and cultural life firmly to itself.'" -- Source: Wienfried Becker: Securing the existence and existential needs of Catholics in the Resistance, in: Detlef J.
