Henriette von Waldeck or Die Laube is an unfinished play by Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz . The fragments come from the Lenz manuscripts collected by Jegór von Sivers and Wendelin von Maltzahn , which were first published by Karl Weinhold in Frankfurt am Main in 1884.

The fragments written in 1776 can be attributed to the literary epoch of Sturm und Drangs . They form a first literary processing of Lenz's disappointed love for Henriette Waldner von Freundstein, Baroness Henriette von Oberkirch .
