Friederike Bertha Helene Weyl (née Joseph; 30 March 1893 – June 1948) was a German writer and translator.

After graduating from high school, Weyl returned to Mecklenburg and studied German and history at the University of Rostock.

Helene continued to attend mathematical lectures until the birth of her first son Fritz Joachim Weyl (19 February 1915 – 20 July 1977).

When her husband was drafted into the German army in 1916, she returned to her parents' house in Ribnitz for a short time.

Since the First World War, many German intellectuals had fled to Switzerland, and she came into contact with many scientists, writers, and actors including Albert Einstein, Elisabeth Bergner, William Dieterle and Walter Dällenbach (1892–1990).

She was attracted by Ortega's philosophical ideas, his brilliant style and the challenge of translating language nuances and the foreign Spanish into German.

Ortega y Gasset commented on his translator in the fourth volume of his Collected Works from 1956:[citation needed]
