Life

Caroline Friederike Roederer was the daughter of the anatomist Johann Georg Roederer . On November 5, 1769, at the age of 16, she married the historian and lawyer August Ludwig von Schlözer , who she had met as a schoolgirl at the age of 8. She later became known throughout Europe as a painter and embroiderer. She created both portraits and landscapes. In the Municipal Museum Göttingen a portrait of Martin Luther as her Wachsbossiererin obtained which her daughter Dorothea Charles de Villers had given. In 1806 von Schlözer became an honorary member of the Prussian Academy of Fine Arts . The only surviving daughter from this marriage was Dorothea Schlözer (1770-1825). Christian von Schlözer (1774–1831), professor of constitutional law in Moscow and Bonn and Karl von Schlözer (1780–1859), merchant and Russian consul in Lübeck, were their younger brothers. She had given birth to a total of 8 children, three of whom died as small children.

In the family property of the Schlözer family, an age portrait of Caroline von Schlözer by Friedrich Carl Gröger has come down to us.
