Charlotte Miedke
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the age of 15, on 11 December 1796, she was already engaged as a soubrette in Mannheim.[2] Further stations of her career were from 1798 to 1801: Theatre Nuremberg (subject: soubrette and naive roles), 1802: Aachen (summer 1802), 1802: Düsseldorf (Oct./Nov. 1802) and 1802 to 1805: Nuremberg (as first female singer).[3][4] In 1805, she came to the court theatre in Stuttgart, where she worked as an actress.[5]
She had been married to the actor Carl Miedke in his first marriage since 1801/02.[5] The marriage produced three children, all of whom became well-known artists: the singer Anna Fischer-Maraffa (1802-1866), the singer, actor and director Friedrich Georg Leonhard Miedke (1803-1842) and the pianist, composer, conductor and later Dresden Court Kapellmeister Karl August Krebs (1804-1880).
After a scarlet fever infection, Miedke died, only 25 years old, on 22 October 1806 in Stuttgart-Bopser.
