Life

Maria Bernthsen was the daughter of Ferdinand von Haubenschmied , who u. a. Reichsrat and Higher Regional Court President in Munich. She grew up in Munich. On March 17, 1884, she married the chemist August Bernthsen . The marriage had three children: Elisabeth Wilhelma (1885–1902), Heinrich Ferdinand August (1893–1902) and Walther Theodor Friedrich (1888–1919).

From 1896 published Bernthsen under the pseudonym Max degrees, where they named Max for their Initials M chose. The use of a male pseudonym was common among women writers at the time. She did not see herself as a writer, at least in the first years of her work, after all she had only written “sketches and short novels”. Their first publication Der Hans und die Greth took place in the literary magazine Jugend . The publication of her first short story Der Lattenhofer Sepp followed in 1899 . From 1903, her works were mainly published by Clara Viebig's husband at Egon Fleischel Verlag.

Max Crone wrote an obituary for the Heidelberg News from March 2, 1927.
