Adelheid Reinbold

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adelaide Reinbold (born January 15, 1800 in Hanover , † February 14, 1839 in Dresden ) was a German writer . She called herself Adelheid Reinbold . Her works appeared under the pseudonym Franz Berthold during her lifetime .

Life

Adelheid Reinbold came from a family that has been respected for many generations. One of her ancestors had come from the Palatinate together with the future Electress Sophie and had worked as the Upper War Pay Commissioner. Reinbold's grandfather had held the title of nobility for a while before he resigned and worked as senior bailiff on the Katlenburg near Northeim . Reinbold's father was a lawyer; At the time of his marriage, due to the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover , he officiated as the Royal British and Electoral Braunschweig-Lüneburg Secret Chancellery Secretary in Hanover: According to the Hanoverian address book of 1799, Carl Friedrich Reinbold lived in the Aegidienneustadt as head of household with his family . Reinbold was baptized in the castle church in the Leineschloss .

Adelaide Reinbold grew up in difficult family circumstances. During the so-called " French era " the family became impoverished and in 1808 they moved to the Mariengarten monastery in the southern Hanoverian province . From 1820 Adelheid took a position as a tutor in the house of the banker Heinrich von Pereira in Vienna . The salon of her wife, Henriette von Pereira-Arnstein (a daughter of Fanny von Arnstein ) opened up acquaintances and educational opportunities for her. Nevertheless, she suffered from the dependent and socially subordinate position.

A love affair with the poet diplomat Friedrich Apollonius von Maltitz , who, however, refused to marry Reinbold out of social considerations, became decisive in life . In 1828 she moved to Dresden to train in miniature painting. There she met the poet Ludwig Tieck , who from then on became her fatherly mentor and later published most of her works. An eye disease made a professional perspective as a miniature painter impossible. From 1831 onwards she published individual novels in literary magazines, all under the pseudonym Franz Berthold . (It seems that she also used the pseudonym Wilhelm Hof in individual cases .) Reinbold broke off several jobs as a social worker / educator. After her mother's death (1832), she returned to her parents' home to look after her younger siblings. After the father had remarried, she moved with her younger brothers to Dresden, where she made a substantial contribution to their livelihood.

Adelheid Reinbold found permanent support and help in life from Ludwig Tieck. Although a familiar participant in his circle, hardly anyone except Tieck apparently knew about her literary work, for which the pseudonymous author received increasing public applause.

Adelheid Reinbold died of diphtheria . Her great novel König Sebastian, or miraculous rescue and downfall , on whose proof sheets she sat to the last and which describes the myth about the Portuguese King Sebastian , was published posthumously by Tieck; in the foreword her real name is mentioned for the first time and some of her fate is reported.
