Rosina Regina Ahles (5 December 1799, Bietigheim - 13 June 1854, Berlin) was a German actress, notable in her own right and as the wife of the actor, composer and writer Albert Lortzing.
[1][2] She was the daughter of Johannes Ahles, a gravedigger in Bietigheim, and his wife, Regina Dorothea (née Kohlbrey).
[1] Despite her frequent pregnancies, Rosina Ahles continued to work as an actress in Cologne, Aachen and Dresden.
In January 1825, shortly after the birth of her first child, she acted in Schiller's "Phaedra" and in Lessing's "Nathan der Weise".
Rosina retired from acting to devote her time to her role as a mother, while Albert, who had become a composer, obtained a position as a kapellmeister in 1844.
