The article presents Ricarda Huchs attitude towards the dictatorship of natio- nal socialism in Germany, from which the writer officially disbanded herself in 1933 by resigning from the membership of the Prussian Academy of Fine Arts and concluding at the same time that the Germanness in her opinion does not mean centralization of power, brutal methods and diffusion of people who think differently. This attitude is reflected in the autobiographical text of 1938, Friihling in der Schweiz [Spring in Switzerland] which refers to the experiences and observations of the writer during her stay in Switzerland in 1887-1896. Those memoirs serve as a kind of political message which simultaneously show Huchs strategies related to the experience of internal emigration. The attitude of Ricarda Huch at the time of National Socialism is characterized by an ethical-moral conservatism and cosmopolitanism based on anarchistic ideals of freedom which historically refers to the ideas of a law-abiding, decentralized and multicultural country.
