Friderike Maria Zweig (née Burger; 4 December 1882 – 18 January 1971) was an Austrian writer.
[2][4] During the years of their life in Salzburg, Friderike took on the role of a hostess for many of Zweig's literary friends.
[5] At first, Friderike tried working as a literary journalist, but this did not earn enough money and instead, she started teaching French and history.
[2] During her marriage to Zweig she often helped him with research and translation as well as reading books he was sent, making excerpts from them and writing letters of acknowledgement in his name.
[7] As a founder of the American-European Friendship Association, Friderike was also known for her work promoting Austrian-American cultural ties, for which she was acknowledged by the Austrian government.
