Sophie Auguste Dethleffs (also: Dethlefs) was born in Heide as the youngest daughter of the fire director and royal official Dethleffs. Her mother died immediately after she was born, her father died in 1838, after which the Justice Council Paulsen accepted her, and she was a kind of companion in his house.

She composed poetry for baptisms, bachelor parties, silver weddings, and similar occasions. She has also written plays. Her poem "De Fahrt na de Isenbahn" was known long before it was printed in a Schleswig-Holstein folk calendar in 1850.
