Johanne Sophie Friederike Pauline von Schätzel , also Schaetzel (born August 27, 1811 in Berlin , † September 13, 1882 in Eichberg near Schilda ) was a German opera singer ( soprano ).

Life

Pauline von Schätzel comes from the aristocratic family Schätzel . She was a granddaughter of the famous singer Margarete Luise Schick and the daughter of the singer Juliane von Schaetzel geb. Schick from her marriage to the royal district administrator Carl Friedrich Ludwig von Schaetzel, who worked in the Soldin district around 1806 , later in Berlin. The clarinetist Friedrich Schick (1794–1860) was her uncle.

As early as September 17, 1827 she sang in a performance of Handel's oratorio Das Alexanderfest under the direction of Carl Friedrich Zelter , in a concert on the occasion of the “Meeting of Naturalists and Doctors”, at which the young Frédéric Chopin was among the audience. On April 26, 1828 - her grandmother's birthday - she first appeared on the stage of the Berlin Court Opera as Agathe im Freischütz , where she was then engaged as the first female singer. Four years later, she played the title role in Beethoven's Fidelio .

In 1832 she married the court printer and publisher Rudolf Ludwig Decker and ended her career. In the years that followed, however, she continued to perform as a concert singer, especially in concerts at the Berliner Singakademie , of which she was an honorary member until her death.
