Life

Her father was the art dealer Stephan Artaria, who ran the Mannheim art house Artaria and Fontaine . Her great-grandfather was the famous music dealer Giovanni Artaria . Her maternal grandfather, Franz Rüttger, was the defender of Karl Ludwig Sand in 1820 after the murder of August von Kotzebue .

In 1856 she got engaged to the art historian Julius Braun (* 1825 in Karlsruhe ), who taught at Heidelberg University . Through him she soon made friends with men like Max Wirth , Adolf Kussmaul and Anselm Feuerbach as well as Joseph Victor von Scheffel . They were close friends with the latter as well as with Feuerbach until his death. Rosalie's stepmother Henriette was a maternal friend who wrote her loving letters until shortly before her death. The acquaintance and later friendship with the Salonière Anna von Helmholtz and her father, the politician Robert von Mohl, also dates from this time. After their wedding in 1860, the Braun couple moved to Tübingen , where they lived in poor conditions. Julius had accepted a call as an associate professor at the University of Tübingen . Ottilie Wildermuth was one of the family's friends in Tübingen. After Conrad Bursian was called to the chair of archeology instead of Braun, he and his wife moved from Tübingen to Munich after only one semester. As the wife of an aspiring scientist, Rosalie soon got access to Munich's social circles. She became friends with writers like Ludwig Steub , Friedrich von Bodenstedt , Paul Heyse , Emanuel Geibel , Moriz Carrière , Adolf von Wilbrandt and Adolf Friedrich von Schack , with scientists like Franz von Kobell , Justus von Liebig , Carl von Siebold , Moritz Wagner , Friedrich Ratzel and Karl Alfred von Zittel , musicians like Robert von Hornstein and the painters Franz von Lenbach and Carl Theodor von Piloty .

She also got to know Fanny Lewald and her husband Adolf Stahr as well as Richard Wagner and Ignaz von Döllinger . She was a motherly friend and patron of the young artist Otto Greiner . Due to her numerous friendships with outstanding men and women from different areas of activity, she is an important link between the various circles of friends and a witness of social life in Munich.

The literary historian Heinrich Spiero praises the literary works of Braun-Artaria as "thrifty, but happy in their few gifts". He speaks of the "energetic simplicity of the style [...] that disdains any conventional surface". Henriette Feuerbach wrote in a letter to "My dear dear Rosalie": "You, dear Rosalie [are] influential and effective in the broadest circles at the pinnacle of writing." Through another friend, Adolf von Kröner , Rosalie Braun became a member of the editorial team of the journal Die Gartenlaube in 1886 and now mainly wrote articles and contributions for the journal.

On July 22nd, 1869, Julius Braun died shortly after completing his work “Painting of the Muslim World”. His widow later married a second time. Two daughters, Jula and Irene, were born in Munich. Jula married the zoologist Richard Hertwig in 1888 and Irene became a teacher. Rosalie Braun-Artaria died in Schlederloh near Wolfratshausen in 1918 . Long-time close friend Isolde Kurz published an obituary in the Frankfurter Zeitung .
