Life
Orphaned at the age of ten, Clara Angermann grew up in a monastery near Thorn . After reaching the age of majority, she moved to her uncle, who worked as a forester, in Eibenstock, where she introduced tambouring ( artistic embroidery with crochet hooks ) in 1775 . Clara Angermann taught this art to many women in the city until 1780, so that embroidery became an important economic factor in Eibenstock. In 1850 there were already six successful embroidery companies and in 1858 the first embroidery machine was used. The embroidery became famous all over the world, so that the USA maintained a consulate in the city from 1891 to 1908 for the maintenance of its business relations.
In 1780 Clara Angermann married the forester and later court hunter in Wermsdorf Johann Christoph Nollain in the Dresden Kreuzkirche . She gave birth to ten children and after the death of her husband in 1809 moved to a daughter in Dresden, where she presumably also died.
A street in Eibenstock was named after Clara Angermann.
