Maria Anna Löhn-Siegel (born Maria Anna Löhn ; born November 30, 1830 in Naundorf ; † January 1, 1902 in Dresden ) was a women's rights activist, German writer and royal court actress.

Life

Anna Löhn-Siegel was born as the daughter of a Lutheran clergyman near Freiberg . She received a thorough education and wrote her first drama Odysseus on Ogyia at the age of 15 . She made her debut as an actress in Poznan in 1846 and soon afterwards joined traveling companies until she was engaged at the Leipzig City Theater in 1848 . For a short time she played at the Magdeburg Summer Theater until she accepted an engagement in Oldenburg from 1848 to 1850 . In 1850 she came to Dresden, where she belonged to the Dresden Hofbühne for over 20 years, and in 1857 she made a guest appearance in Berlin.

In 1872 she married her longtime friend Dr. Franz Ludwig Siegel (1812–1877), who worked as editor-in-chief of the Dresdner Konstitutionellen Zeitung and on whose paper she had already worked for several years. Her marriage also meant the end of her career as an actress. Even after the death of her husband in 1877, Anna Löhn-Siegel never returned to the stage. As early as 1870 she founded the First Dresden Women's Education Association, which she became chairwoman of. She was committed to this until her death and devoted herself to her poetic work. She died on January 1, 1902 in the Friedrichstadt hospital and was buried next to her husband in the Old Annenfriedhof in Dresden. Her grave has not been preserved.
