Kamilla Emma von Damitz , married. Emma Baron , (born September 15, 1844 in Münchershof near Neustettin , † November 1, 1921 in Visselhövede ) was a German writer . She also wrote under the pseudonym E. von Münchershof .

Life

Damitz was the youngest daughter of the Münchershof landowner Karl Ferdinand Ludwig Ernst von Damitz (January 20, 1803 - June 7, 1875) and his wife Thusnelda Emilie Valeska von Britzke (June 11, 1812 - August 13, 1866). . The father gave up the management of the estate when Damitz was still a child and took over the position of a royal master builder. Since he often changed his place of residence as such, Damitz also came to Görlitz , Strehlen and Glatz at a young age , where she attended school for a short time.

Damitz wrote her first drama at the age of ten. From her confirmation , she wrote poems that were published in magazines. On July 14, 1868, she married the lieutenant and later major general Konstantin Baron in Glogau . If she had published works under her maiden name Emma von Damitz before her marriage, her works were then mainly printed under the pseudonym E. von Münchershof.

Damitz died in Visselhövede in November 1921, and her husband also died a few weeks later.
