Life

Luise Herder was born in Weimar in 1781 as the only daughter of the writer couple Johann Gottfried Herder and Marie Karoline Flachsland .

Herder received a careful upbringing. In contrast to her brothers, however, she was less involved in the social life of Weimar, which was largely shaped by the court. After her father's death in 1803, Luise Herder became an important pillar of her mother and looked after her until her death. She was appointed by her in the will as a universal heir.

Luise Herder got engaged in the last year of her mother's life to Constantin Stichling, 15 years her senior . Marie Karoline Herder did not like her daughter's connection, as stickleback was significantly older than Luise Herder and brought two daughters and a son from her first marriage to Juliane Friederike Wieland into the marriage: Luise Herder was with Juliane Wieland, the daughter of the poet Christoph Martin Wieland , close friends. When her friend became seriously ill at the beginning of 1809, Luise Herder supported the Stichling family very much. After the death of her friend, Luise first took the youngest child, a five-year-old girl, to look after her, and after marrying stickleback, she also looked after his two sons from their first marriage. Luise Herder did not marry her fiancé until three weeks after the death of her mother. The wedding took place on October 13, 1809 in Lauter in the Ore Mountains , where her brother Sigismund August Wolfgang von Herder was working at the time. The marriage has two daughters and the son Gottfried Theodor Stichling .

Luise Stichling died in Weimar in 1860. She rests in the preserved Herder-Stichling family grave on the Weimar Historical Cemetery (western cemetery wall), where her mother Marie Karoline Flachsland was also buried.
