Charitas Bischoff
Charitas Bischoff (born March 7, 1848 in Siebenlehn / Saxony as Charitas Dietrich ; † February 24, 1925 in Blankenese ) was a German writer .
Life
Charitas Bischoff was the daughter of the botanist Amalie Dietrich . She traveled to Australia in 1863 , where she conducted botanical studies for ten years on behalf of the merchant and collector Johan Cesar Godeffroy . Her daughter Charitas was raised by foster parents and in a boarding school in Wolfenbüttel from 1865 to 1869 , after which she worked as a governess in London for two years . After Amalie Dietrich's return in 1873, the relationship between the well-traveled mother and the cultivated daughter became difficult. In the same year Charitas married the pastor Christian Bischoff and for the next few years lived with her family in Roagger in northern Schleswig and in Rendsburg . After her mother Amalie Dietrich died in 1891 and her husband Christian Bischoff died in 1894, Charitas Bischoff and her children moved to Blankenese , where she lived as a freelance writer . In local Treppenviertel a staircase is named after her.
Charitas Bischoff wrote narrative and autobiographical works. She achieved her greatest success with the work "Amalie Dietrich", which appeared in numerous editions and was long considered to be the authentic biography of her mother; In the meantime, however, it has been proven that the book is largely a romanticizing fiction , for which Bischoff also drew from foreign sources.
Charitas Bischoff was buried in the Blankenese cemetery , her tombstone is said to be in the tombstone museum there.
