Life
Anna Wöhrmann, nee Ebel, was born as the daughter of Samuel Ebel and Ursula Ebel, nee Hartwig, into a wealthy business family. However, the parents died early, first the mother in 1752 and the father in 1758. She then grew up with relatives.
She married Christian Heinrich Wöhrmann (1737-1813). The marriage resulted in seven children, including the later Prussian consul general Johann Christoph Wöhrmann . She supported various social initiatives such as orphanages. From 1817 she got involved financially, personally and by making land available for the creation of a large park in Riga, the Wöhrmann Garden , which still exists today and bears her name. In 1829, two years after her death, the Wöhrmann monument was erected in her honor in the park .
