Hedvig Strömfelt

Hedvig Strömfelt (Stockholm 11 October 1723 - Kersö), 22 May 1766), was a Swedish baroness and psalm writer.

In 1759, when the Moravian congregation of Stockholm was inspected by the Moravian Johan Huffel from Courland, it was severely divided, and the Strömfelt Sisters, along with Olof Gren, Eric Alibin and the Schmidt couple were the leaders of the so-called Six Party.

When the Moravian congregation was united by the preacher Ike, the Strömfelt Sisters refused to join.

The writings of Hedvig Strömfelt are inspired by ta strong erotic mysticism around blood and wounds which were popular within the Moravian Church at the time.

Alongside her sister Ulrika, she also wrote a description of the history of the first Moravian church in Sweden.
