from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doris Finke (1857)

Dorothea Marie Louise "Doris" Groth geb. Finke (born May 22, 1830 in Bremen , † January 19, 1878 in Kiel ) was the wife of the poet Klaus Groth .

Life

Groth was the oldest of eight children of the wealthy Bremen wine merchant Albert Diedrich Finke (1803–1879) and his wife Martha Wilhelmine (Minna) born. Faber (1809–1856), resident at Contrescarpe 43, they also owned the Finkenhof country estate in Vegesack . For three years she replaced her siblings' mother, who died prematurely.

In 1859 Doris Finke got engaged to Klaus Groth. Groth reported to Alwine Wuthenow about this two weeks later:

“... now an event has intervened in my life, so beautifully, so directed by God's dear hand, that I am driven not to just show you about it with a map, no matter how little time I have. I have won a beloved, graceful, pious, serene, spiritual being as mine . I know that you participate in my happiness, since you know the seriousness and the renunciation from my poetry. "

In 1859 Doris Finke and Klaus Groth married and one month later she moved to live with her husband in Kiel in a rented apartment near the train station.
The couple had four sons: Detmar Heinrich Albert (1860–1866), Albert Ludwig Adolph (1863–1929 in Chile), Carl Friedrich Emil (1865–1920) and Wilhelm August (1866–1889).
In 1865 the family had a house built on Schwanenweg.

At the beginning of the Franco-Prussian War , the father's wine warehouse in Bordeaux was confiscated. As a result, the Groth family lost half of their family support. Groth had to take in house daughters and taught them. From 1872 she fell ill with lung catarrh. To recover, the family traveled to Menton on the French Riviera in 1876 . But the winter was exceptionally hard there and brought no healing. When she returned to Kiel, she died a little later.
