Anna Teichmüller (11 May 1861 – 6 September 1940)[1] was a German composer and teacher[2] who set the works of many poets, especially Carl Hauptmann,[3] to music.
The family lived in Tartu, Estonia, during her childhood, where Gustav was a university professor.
[6] She met Carl Hauptmann in Jena in 1893, and he persuaded her to move to the artist colony[7] in Schreiberhau (then in Prussia; today known as Szklarska Poręba, Poland), where she lived until the end of her life.
[4] Hauptmann dedicated his book Aus meinem Tagebuch München (From My Munich Diary) to Teichmüller.
[9] The writers included Anton Alexander Graf von Auersperg (as Anastasius Grün), Ferdinand Avenarius, Hans Bethge, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Marianne Blaauw, Grete Ziegler-Bock, Wolrad Eigenbrodt, Feodora, Princess of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg (as F. Hugin), Friedrich Ludwig Konrad Fiedler, Friedrich Hebbel, Gottfried Keller, Nikolaus Lenau, Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, Hans Reisiger, Rainer Maria Rilke, Leopold von Schroeder, Paul Verlaine, and Friedl Zacharias.
