Life

After Carolinen's father, the judicial officer Ulrich, had apparently left, Ms. Buchholz from Weimar took the orphaned step-granddaughter with her.

In 1808, Caroline moved to Goethe's house on Frauenplan as Christiane 's house daughter and partner . Caroline became Goethe's secretary in the winter of 1814. Katharina Mommsen noted about those war szeiten to: "Caroline Ulrich had since autumn 1813, almost eight months Goethe single writer." In time she became the poet's confidante.

Caroline Ulrich, also called Uline, married Friedrich Wilhelm Riemer on November 8, 1814 . Their son Bruno was born on January 17, 1817.

Pollmer writes about Caroline: “In Weimar and with her relatives she was considered proud, she was aware of her worth.” However, the painter Carl Hummel remembered his youth in Weimar: “Riemer was a serious person, but the court councilor was an encouragement , inclined to pleasure and serenity. ”However that may have been - Pollmer concludes:“ The Goethe friend may at least wind a wreath around the portrait of Carolinens, not of laurel, but of snowdrops and violets, the children of spring that shake hands of the girl in Goethe's house garden. "

The musician Eduard Ulrich, born in 1795, was Carolinen's brother.
