Johanna Schopenhauer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johanna Schopenhauer, née Trosiener (July 9, 1766 – April 17, 1838), was a German author and the mother of Arthur Schopenhauer.

Schopenhauer was born in Danzig (Gdańsk) in the Polish province of Royal Prussia. At the age of almost 40, she became an author and her novels, travel memoirs, essays on art history and autobiography were published in 24 volumes during her life-time. After the annexation of her city by Prussia in 1793, she and her husband moved to Hamburg. Following her husband's death in 1807, she moved to Weimar where her newly established literary salon quickly attracted authors and intellectuals including Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. When told by Goethe that her son Arthur Schopenhauer was destined for great things, she replied that there could not be two geniuses in one family.
