Ursula Püschel (1 June 1930 – 10 August 2018) was a German literary critic, journalist and writer.
In 1965, she was awarded her doctorate with the Dissertation Bettina von Arnims politische Schriften[2] presented at the Humboldt University.
Among the papers, Püschel discovered handwritten drafts by Bettina von Arnim for the Poland brochure ("To the dissolved Prussian National Assembly"), which appeared anonymously in January 1849, in which she demanded a Poland free of Prussian property claims.
Her authorship was denied in 1906 by the literary scholar Reinhold Steig [de], who knew the estate.
Apart from a number of essays and books, Püschel's most important work was the publication of the writer's correspondence with King Frederick William IV of Prussia, which - as an important part of her work - except for a small part - had not been published until then and was still largely unknown.
