Karoline Christine Genast (née Böhler; 31 January 1798 – 15 April 1860) was a German actress, singer and pianist.

Her father was persuaded to act by actor August Wilhelm Iffland and then gained a reputation in Frankfurt am Main for comic and character roles.

[1] The early death of her father in 1816 prompted Böhler to accept an engagement at the Estates Theatre in Prague, where she was praised for her "naturalness, charm and youthful freshness".

[3] As she grew older, Genast moved away from playing youthful heroines and focused on portraying mothers in drama.

She found success in this type of role as well as in older classical plays such as Isabella in The Bride of Messina and Volumnia in Coriolanus.
