Bettina von Arnim
“I was supposed to provide information about Bettina von Arnim. Eventually, I said: ‘Pile
contradictions on top of contradictions, go up the mountain, spread flowers over everything, let it sparkle
and shoot out lightning, and call it Bettina’” – This was noted by Karl August Varnhagen von Ense at
the end of May 1850 in his diary.
The grand-daughter of the writer Sophie von La Roche, the sister of the poet Clemens Brentano,
And above all the wife of Achim von Arnim must truly have been difficult to comprehend.
Born in Frankfurt am Main in April of 1785, she confronted her contemporaries as a sensitive
Poet, a socially and politically engaged writer, caring mother of seven children, a dedicated wife
And an enthusiastic friend.
Among these contemporaries was Goethe as well: Together with her husband Achim von Arnim and her
brother Clemens, Goethe brought practically cult status to the Weimar Poet-Princess to the point where
he felt besieged by the "Tollhäusler" (bedlam people) and expelled her from his house.
Bettina dedicated her first book to the idolized Weimar master:
"Goethes Briefwechsel mit einem Kinde" (Goethe’s Correspondence with a Child), published in 1839.
