Friederike was the oldest child of the teacher Andreas Münster (1775-1849) and the maid Louise Hartmann (1770-1816) from Braunfels . While Friederike was training to be a nurse, her mother died of typhus in 1816, so that Friederike, the eldest, had to take over the domestic household with six younger siblings, a grandmother and her father. When her father remarried in 1817, she continued to help her stepmother with the household.

The friendship with the Basel missionaries Goebel and Traub and the experience of their active charity had a religiously formative effect on Friederike during this time. It has to be added to the awakening movement .

After her brothers left their parents' house and the younger sister Louise took over the household, Friederike had to earn money herself to be able to support the family financially. So she trained as a teacher and worked from 1826 to January 1828 in Düsselthal as a teacher at the evangelical Rescue Center for orphans , which in 1822 in the former Trappist - abbey by Count Adalbert von der Recke-Volmerstein was founded. There she worked as an educator for neglected girls. In the meantime she became life-threatening.

Around 1823 she met Theodor Fliedner , the founder and secretary of the Rhenish-Westphalian Prison Society. They married on April 15, 1828 in Oberbiel near Wetzlar . They had eleven children together, but only three of them reached adulthood. She herself died giving birth to her last child in 1842.

Friederike Fliedner assisted her husband in Kaiserswerth in his pastoral and diaconal work. After she first allowed Gertrud Reichard (1788–1869) and Franziska Lehnert (* 1800) to prove themselves as headmasters, which was unsuccessful, in 1837 Friederike Fliedner herself took on the role of head of the deaconess house in Kaiserswerth, which was newly founded in 1836. Friederike and her husband developed the idea of ​​the deaconess mother house there . She was responsible for the training of deaconesses as nurses in the mother house. From Kaiserswerth they spread the idea of ​​the deaconess and the trained nurse in Germany. Friederike Fliedner was of the opinion that the clergy should be completely separated from the nurses and that they should be exclusively physical nurses. With this opinion, however, she could not prevail against Theodor Fliedner.

Numerous care facilities are still named after Friederike Fliedner today.

Her daughter Wilhelmine founded a girls' school in Hilden , today's Wilhelmine Fliedner School .
