Lili Parthey

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Friedrich Wilhelm von Schadow, Lili Parthey

Lili Parthey (actually: Elisabeth Parthey , * 1800 ; † 1829 ) was a German author whose diaries are regarded as important historical evidence of the Biedermeier period .

Life

Lili Parthey was a granddaughter of Friedrich Nicolai and a sister of Gustav Parthey . She received singing lessons from Amalie Seebald and married Bernhard Klein in 1825 . The marriage produced a daughter. Lili Parthey's diaries were printed by her grandson Bernhard Lepsius in 1926 . These records give a vivid picture of the bourgeois lifestyle of their time. The diaries, written between 1814 and 1829, are owned by her family. They were shown in 2007 as part of the exhibition Biedermanns Abendgemütlichkeit in the Berlin City Museum; Parts of it, read by Blanche Kommerell, were available in individual rooms of the exhibition. In 2012 they were on display in the exhibition stories and findings in the Märkisches Museum .

A portrait of Lili Parthey from around 1825 by Friedrich Wilhelm von Schadow shows her in the typical Biedermeier fashion with an almost strapless dress, unadorned neck, middle parting, curls and chignon ; Goethe dedicated the following verses to her on July 23, 1823:

You did it to me, but
now I perceive new life;
A sweet mouth looks at us kindly
when he gives us a kiss.
