Auguste Hyrtl , b. von Gaffron and Oberstradam, (born February 22, 1818 in Braunschweig , † November 18, 1901 in Perchtoldsdorf near Vienna ) was a German writer .

Life

Auguste Hyrtl was born in 1818 as the daughter of Major Karl von Gaffron, son of an old Silesian noble family and Julie Neagle from Ireland. Her younger sister was the writer Antonie Brehmer-Gaffron , b. from Gaffron and Oberstradam .

Hyrtl carried the maiden name of Gaffron and Oberstradam. She met the Austrian anatomist Josef Hyrtl in the 1860s, but was still married to Heinrich Conrad, a royal Prussian lieutenant. But she lived separately from him. She moved with Hyrtl to Perchtoldsdorf in 1869 , where Hyrtl acquired a villa when he retired from teaching. She only married Hyrtl in Vienna- Alsergrund in 1870 , although she had previously referred to herself as Hyrtl's wife. The marriage remained childless. Auguste Hyrtl administered his estate after Hyrtl died in 1894. She is buried in her husband's grave of honor in the Perchtoldsdorf cemetery .

Hyrtl mainly wrote poems that were published in newspapers and, among other things, appeared in two volumes in 1880. She also belonged to the Iduna (association) , named after the Nordic god of fertility.
