Emilie Pohlmann (born around 1800 in Berlin ; died July 27 or 28, 1875 in Bernburg ) was a German opera singer (soprano).

Life

Emilie Pohlmann had her first engagement from November 1813 to February 1818 at the Nationaltheater Mannheim . In 1818/19 she appeared at the Aachen Theater and was announced as a singer from Braunschweig during a guest performance at the Hanover Theater in 1819. From March 1819 she was the first singer at the Hamburg Opera for several years . During this time, guest performances took her to the stages in Braunschweig, Breslau, Bremen, Pyrmont, Copenhagen, Riga, Königsberg, Saint Petersburg and Munich.

In 1828 she married the flautist Otto Kressner, from whom she was divorced again in 1837.

From 1833–35 she was engaged at the Riga Theater. This was followed by guest appearances in Königsberg, Elbing and again in Riga, Berlin, Potsdam and last documented in 1844 at the Königsberg Theater.

Portraits

The portrait painted by Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg in 1825 on the occasion of her concert in Copenhagen shows her as Preciosa. It was a commissioned work for the Altona- born Copenhagen merchant Mendel Levin Nathanson . The painting is known on the art market and is privately owned.

The Hamburg State and University Library also owns a lithograph of a portrait made in 1821 by the Hamburg portrait painter and lithographer Carl Friedrich Weidemann (1770–1843).
