Live and act

Rothpletz was born in 1786 as the daughter of the city judge and junker Johann Friedrich Ludwig von Meiss. On May 10, 1805 she married Johann Jakob Rothpletz, a lawyer and senior magistrate in Aarau . His first wife had died the year before. The couple had three daughters, with whom Anna Rothpletz moved to her parents in Brugg after the death of her husband on April 30, 1815 , where she lived until her death. After her daughters grew up, she began to occupy herself with fiction works and subsequently wrote several novels under the pseudonym Rosalie Müller.

Above all, Rothpletz wrote love and marriage stories that "had a decisive influence on the bourgeois self-image of women in particular."
