Life

Wilhelmine Bardua was born in 1798 as the daughter of Johann Adam Bardua, valet of the Hereditary Prince Alexius von Bernburg , and Sophie Sabine Kirchner in Ballenstedt in the Harz region. Caroline Bardua was her older sister.

One of their first teachers was Johann Heinrich Meyer in Weimar from 1805 to 1807 . In Weimar she also met Johann Wolfgang von Goethe . After completing her training, Wilhelmine went to Paris and Frankfurt with her sister Caroline.

In 1819 both sisters, who remained unmarried all their lives, came to Berlin, where they ran a salon. One of the guests was the poet August Friedrich Ernst Langbein .

In 1827 the two sisters had to give up their residence in Berlin for financial reasons and began an unsteady wandering life that often led them to smaller cities such as Heidelberg or Krefeld, away from any competition. Both sisters lived together. After Caroline's death in 1864, Wilhelmine Bardua wrote the biography of her sister and died only one year after her in 1865. The youthful life of the painter Caroline Bardua appeared posthumously in 1874.
