Barbara Juliane Penzel
Barbara Juliane Penzel b. Müller (born October 20, 1636 in Nuremberg , † 1673 in Pfedelbach ) was a poet in the Pegnese Flower Order .
life and work
Contemporaries noticed the literary talent of the daughter of the Nuremberg council clerk Johann Christoph Müllner early on. In particular, the poetry of Martin Opitz formed the model for them. In 1667 she married the Pfedelbach court deacon Conrad Penzel (* 1642 † 1687), with whom she moved from her hometown in the same year. Around the middle of 1668 she was accepted into the society of poets by the President of the Flower Order, Sigmund von Birken . Since then she has remained in contact with the Order Preses mainly by letter, and has visited him a few times in her old home. In the following years she contributed to some occasional writings by the Pegnitz shepherds as well as dedicatory poems to works by Birkens ( Guelfis 1669 and Todes-Denk 1670).
Due to her early death, the literary oeuvre of Barbara Juliane Penzel - highly valued by her contemporaries - remained very small. An anthology of her poems planned by Birken never found its way to publication.
