Minna "Minni" Elise Charlotte Boh b. Ankele (born July 11, 1858 in Geestemünde , Kingdom of Hanover ; † April 6, 1918 in Pillnitz , Kingdom of Saxony ) was a German writer.

Life

Boh was born as the daughter of the respected businessman Johann Heinrich Ankele. She showed an early interest in literature and writing and wrote little fairy tales and stories for her siblings. It was only after marrying the writer Felix Boh (1844–1923) in 1882 that she began to write for print. Since her husband worked in Dresden, Minni Boh also moved to Dresden in 1884 and lived in Weinböhla , Söbrigen and Pillnitz until her death .

She wrote fairy tales for children and wrote poems and stories. “Some of her poems were awarded prizes, and her flight through the magical land received the award of being accepted by the German Empress for the Imperial Princes.” Her dramatized Christmas fairy tale Im Nixenschloss , which saw 33 performances at the Dresden Residenztheater in the 1895/96 season, was particularly successful and was also performed in Chemnitz and Vienna .
