Life
After the Peace of Tilsit , her family moved to Elbing , where her father had found a job as a salt inspector in customs. From 1816, after her parents separated, she lived with her mother with relatives in Tilsit . There she completed her schooling in 1819. Shortly afterwards she and her mother moved to live with an aunt in Laggarben . In order to enable her mother to take a cure, she began working as an educator in Pohiebels near Rastenburg . In the meantime, her father had taken up a position as government secretary in Gdansk . When her parents moved in together again in 1823, she also moved to Danzig. It was there that she met a young construction officer named Pfannenschmidt. In January 1831 both married and moved to the surrounding Neufahrwasser , now part of Danzig.
Repeated transfers of her husband led Pfannenschmidt to Driesen , among other places , where she was encouraged to write by Professor Wilhelm Kluz. She only devoted herself more to her after she had finished raising her children. In Züllichau , her husband was denounced for alleged political activity and was only reinstated in his office eight months later. Soon afterwards they both moved to Bromberg. Her first two-volume novel Frauen-Los was published in 1850 . Pfannenschmidt died in 1868 as a result of a stroke .
In her numerous novels and short stories, she dealt mainly with petty bourgeois life and the conditions in small towns. She also paid special attention to the position of women within the petty-bourgeois family.
