Louise Brachmann (2 February 1777 — 17 September 1822) was a German poet, short story writer, and novelist.
Louise Brachmann was born in Rochlitz, Saxony, to a civil service father and a cultured mother.
Responsible for her education, Louise's mother was close to the Hardenberg family, which included the celebrated poet Novalis.
[1] Louise's mother introduced her to Novalis, who, recognizing Brachmann's talent and potential, recommended her to Friedrich von Schiller.
She met Sophie Mereau in Jena, where she published poems and short stories in modern journals.
