In West Germany new editions of her compilations "Balladen" and "Glassigger" did appear in the 1950s, but the author received no money, nor even a copy. Worse than that, thanks to the Cold war divisions of the time, and the growing impenetrability of the border between the two Germanys, she was not even aware of these new editions of her work. In East Germany, after Ulbricht died (and so more than ten years after Voigt's own death) her work did reappear in the press during the mid 1970s. Then, in 1982, a Voigt book appeared in her homeland: "Bargarohle, Bärchschaft und sächs'sches Ginsdlrblut" presented a cross-section of her life's work, including magazine contributions, works and satirical pieces. A second volume followed in 1984. As East Germany approached its own time of decisive changes the focus of editors tended increasingly to concentrate on Voigt's more overtly political texts.
