She seriously injured her spine in a fall at the age of seven. Her life was strongly shaped by worry and suffering, which is also reflected in her poetry. Three of her siblings died early and when she was twelve her mother died.
Anna Karbe was brought up and shaped in a Prussian, conservative and Christian way. She didn't go to school; she taught herself to read and received occasional lessons from the local pastors or tutors.
On February 18, 1873 Karbe married in Bad Freienwalde (Oder) her cousin, the manor owner of Lichterfelde, Johannes (Hans) Karbe (1844-1919).
Their daughter Mathilde was born on October 30, 1874 and died on November 14, 1874.
Anna Karbe died on April 19, 1875 and is buried in the churchyard in Lichterfelde in the Karbe family grave.
Her parents and siblings who died as children are buried in the Karbe family funeral in Gramzow.
