from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henriette Ernestine Christiane vom Hagen (partly from Hagen , married from Gilten ) (born August 19, 1760 in Stöckey , † March 10, 1794 in Arolsen ) was a German poet .

Life

Henriette Ernestine Christiane vom Hagen came from the Thuringian noble family vom Hagen . The daughter of a landowner in Stöckey grew up in an educated family and began to write poetry when she was nine. She also enjoyed painting and playing the piano. She was in contact with numerous contemporaries, including Christoph August Tiedge , Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim and Leopold Friedrich Günther von Goeckingk . This shaped and encouraged her to publish her poems, which she did for the first time at the age of 16. Goecking acted as her teacher and confidante, and he also saw Henriette as his muse.

Between 1778 and 1789 she first published as “Henriette” or “Fräulein v. H. “in various muse almanacs , for example in the Deutsches Museum or in the Vossian muse almanac . She also wrote song lyrics. She is represented with several pieces in the song collection for children and friends of children on the piano from 1791. Likewise, songs by her have been handed down to the piano .

In the Muses Almanac for 1782 , there were poems by Fraulein von Hagen alongside contributions by Lessing and Klopstock . In 1784 she had the 348-page volume of poems by HE Christiane vom Hagen printed by Johann Georg Stuck in Wernigerode at her own expense. All of the ballads and poems that Christiane von Hagen had written up to the age of 24 were published in it. She dedicated this work to Sophie von La Roche ; Among the 948 prenumerants were some personalities from the North German Reimarus circle such as Elisa von der Recke . She used the proceeds for the rose festival she initiated.

In order to enhance the virtue of her place of residence, Stöckey, she organized a rose festival between 1784 and 1787 based on the French model: "The idea: to make a small village happy ... through gradually introduced virtue and purity of custom". The most beautiful of the village, who appeared as a hardworking and wise maiden, was crowned the rose queen. Von Hagen exchanged letters about the Rose Festival with Anna Louisa Karsch .

She then became chief stewardess to the Princess von Waldeck and married the officer Karl von Gilten there.

She died giving birth to her second son at the age of 34.

Works

Her works always show a strong connection to nature, both in poetry and in painting. In addition to observing nature, she also wrote occasional poems and fantasies as well as romances and ballads , the motifs and themes of which often come from folk tales . For Killy's literary lexicon, her works “convince” “with their simple formal structure and sensitive tone through direct and enlightening-optimistic diction”.
