Life

Antonie Julie Carolina Augusta Rothmund, the pastor's daughter Lüdemann-Ravit, who was born in Barlt in Schleswig-Holstein, had lived in Baden since she was 11 years old. With her parents and later by marrying a Baden tax officer, Toni Rothmund soon settled in all parts of the state due to the change of residence and, as a young poet, quickly showed a knowing bond with the Upper Rhine area. The landscape-related appropriation was expressed in her works.
