Amalie Beer

Amalie Malka Beer (Hebrew: מלכה בער; 10 February 1767 – 27 June 1854) was a German Jewish philanthropist, communal worker, and salonnière.

Amalie Malka Wolff was born in Berlin to Prussian court factor Liepmann Meyer Wulff [de] (1745–1812) and his wife Esther, née Bamberger (1740–1822).

Beer was an active member of the Women's Aid Society for Wounded Soldiers, which was conducted under the patronage of Prince Wilhelm of Prussia.

In consideration of her valuable services, she received from the king the Order of Queen Louise, being the first Jewish woman to be so distinguished.

[1] Beer achieved fame with her literary salon at Tiergartenstraße,[2][3] which was honoured occasionally by the king's presence.
