Erna Raabe, Dame von Holzhausen (1882–1938) was a German artist; known for portraits and animal paintings.

[2] After graduating, she took a trip to Italy, during which she developed a close relationship with her fellow artist, Käthe Loewenthal.

[3] In 1903, she settled in Stuttgart, where she continued her studies with Heinrich Altherr at the State Academy of Fine Arts.

In the mid 1930s, she became seriously ill. Loewenthal cared for her and kept her paintings hidden from the Nazis.

Raabe's feelings about National Socialism were never openly expressed, although the fact that Loewenthal was Jewish would certainly suggest that she was not a supporter.
