Thekla Friedländer (born 6 April 1849; date of death unknown) was a German soprano and social reformer.
Friedländer was born in 1849 in Leipzig, Saxony, Germany.[1] She had an elder sister called Marie Friedländer.[2]
Friedländer was a soprano and began her career in Europe. Her recital at St. James's Hall in London in November 1875 was her first appearance in England and reportedly caused a "sensation."[3][4] She then toured with the Jiminez Company in the Netherlands.[5]
Among her repertoire were compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven,[1] Johannes Brahms,[6] Hans Von Bülow,[7] Edvard Grieg,[8] Heinrich Marschener, Felix Mendelssohn,[6] Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann.[9]
Activism
Friedländer was also a social reformer who campaigned for the improvement of women's prisons and children's institutions in Prussia and engaged in training as part of her activism.[10] In 1904, she worked towards female superintendents being employed in the place of the male inspectors in women's prisons.[11] In 1909, she spoke at a conference regarding the adoption of "social scientific" models in the juvenile justice system.[12]
