Charlotte Elisabeth Nebel

Charlotte Elisabeth Nebel (born Rambach , born June 15, 1727 in Halle (Saale) ; † September 8, 1761 in Worms ) was a German hymn poet and writer of edification.

Life

Charlotte Elisabeth Nebel was a daughter of the Protestant theologian and hymn poet Johann Jakob Rambach and his first wife Johanna Elisabeth (1706–1730), daughter of the Protestant theologian Joachim Lange (1670–1744). She had initially grown up in Halle and had her first life experiences in Gießen. At the age of nineteen she married on May 24, 1746 with the then high school teacher Heinrich Christoph Nebel , who significantly promoted her talent. So she has appeared as an independent author of edification writings and as a poet of sacred songs when looking at history. Above all, it was her husband who made her work accessible to a wide audience after her death. Her work was published in the Köthner Liedersammlung (Halle 1768), so that it was widely distributed.
