Anna von Helmholtz

Brought up in a circle in which intelligence and character were equally well developed, she was described as being talented and clever, with wide views and high aspirations.

Her father was Robert von Mohl, a Heidelberg professor, and a liberal member of the Frankfurt National Assembly.

[3] Anna spent long periods in Paris, staying with her uncle Julius von Mohl, Professor of Persian language at the College de France.

As an interface between the court society, the artists' scene and the educated middle classes, their house became the most important salon in the young empire and the prototype of bourgeois conviviality in the late 19th century.

In December 1899, Anna died while on vacation in Volosca, Istria, Croatia, and is buried in Wannsee Cemetery in Berlin.
