Life

Döbbelin, the daughter of the royal. Kriegsrat Lange, received an upbringing from her foster mother Friederike Döbbelin which was extraordinary for the time. She also discovered the talent of her foster daughter, which she knew how to promote significantly.

Particularly taken for the theater by her teacher and the outstanding artists at the Hofbühne in Berlin at the time, she threw herself eagerly on the study of classical lovers and finally, prompted by her relatives, stepped onto the stage of the Urania Theater in the early 1820s Berlin.

She took further engagement with the Döbbelin Society , where she found not only a brave friend in Friederike Döbbelin, but also an artistic role model worth emulating. After she made guest appearances in Bremen, Hanover, Warsaw etc. after the death of the principal and her foster mother, she joined the association of the Hoftheater zu Coburg-Gotha on June 1, 1827. Here she worked continuously until 1841 (last role "Duchess Marlborough" in The Glass of Water by Eugène Scribe ).

Her artistic activity was particularly favorably influenced by her marriage to Conrad Carl Theodor Ernst Döbbelin in 1838 . The two artists complemented each other and it was especially Auguste who was one of the best actresses in the Coburg court theater of that time. She died of dropsy on January 23, 1842.
