Caroline Schelling

[1] In Mainz, Schelling joined the intellectual circle around Georg Forster, who had married her childhood friend Therese Huber.

But when Prussian troops recaptured Mainz (22 July 1793),[2] Schelling was imprisoned for her political opinions.

She was released and August Schlegel arranged for her to give birth under an assumed name in Lucka near Leipzig.

Their house became a meeting place for the young literary and intellectual elite later associated with German Romanticism.

[5] In 1803, she divorced Schlegel and married the young philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling.
