Antoinette Bamberger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antoinette Charlotte Victoria Bamberger , née Sack , (* 1732 or 1733 in Magdeburg ; † May 29, 1805 ) was a German writer .

Life

Bamberger was born as the first daughter of the clergyman August Friedrich Sack , who worked as a pastor in Magdeburg from 1732 . Her mother Susanne, daughter of Pastor Etienne Cartell in Frankfurt / Oder, died shortly after the birth in childbed. As early as 1755 she worked on Karl Müchler's occupations of the mind and heart . On October 16, 1759, she married the Reformed preacher in Berlin Johann Peter Bamberger (1722–1804), who was court and garrison preacher in Potsdam from 1780 . The marriage had a daughter. In 1778, without her knowing the subtitle, Professor Zobel put her work A Letter from a Married Woman as a model for friendly letters . Samuel Baur (1768–1832) praised the fact that this letter “did her heart as well as her understanding honor”. Bamberger spoke French, among other things, and taught this language to Friederike Helene Unger, who grew up in her household . Unger later became a writer herself.

Through her brother Friedrich Samuel Gottfried Sack , she came into contact with Friedrich Schleiermacher as early as 1750 and became a close friend of his mother. When Schleiermacher took over the official duties of Johann Peter Bamberger from February to May 1799, he lived with the Bamberger family during this time. Schleiermacher was also friends with Antoinette Bamberger's daughter Lucie. Schleiermacher and Bamberger were in contact by letter. Five letters from Antoinette Bamberger to Schleiermacher from 1800 to 1802 were published in 1939 in the magazine Die Taube .
