Life

Anna Maria Margarethe Biel was born in Bergen on Rügen on June 16, 1865 as the daughter of the Bergen judiciary, lawyer and notary Carl Heinrich Biel (April 4, 1823 - February 12, 1883) and his wife Christiana Maria Wilhelmina, née Rechlin. Her aunt was the landscape painter Antonie Biel . In her adopted home of Munich (registered with the police since May 15, 1892), she later lived with her mother at Kaulbachstrasse 63a and wrote children's books under her maiden name.

Nothing is known about her first marriage to a Mr. Neuhauser. On May 6, 1896, she married the Munich antiquarian and bookseller for scientific literature Adolf Richard Jordan (born on August 22, 1852 in Stuttgart ), son of the Stuttgart Royal Privy Councilor Carl Gottlieb Jordan and his wife Pauline Sophie, née Fieß. On May 7, 1897, the couple had a daughter who was named Hertha Elisabeth. The growing girl was obviously the inspiration and drive for the mother’s literary work. This marriage was also dissolved by the final judgment of the royal district court in Munich on October 23, 1899.

The daughter Hertha died at the age of ten on August 18, 1907 in Munich. Shortly afterwards Anna Maria Jordan also died on November 11, 1907 in Munich. In the year of her death, she left “the old family pictures, silver things, candlesticks and jewelry” to the Stralsund Provincial Museum, today's Stralsund Museum , in whose possession they are still today. The fact that Anna Maria Jordan by no means died impoverished is proven by the fact that this estate is described as "the most valuable gift from a local citizen".
