Emma Klingenfeld (1848-1935), born in Nuremberg, belongs to Paul Heyse's circle, where she becomes known for works by Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) and makes a name for herself as a translator of his early works. Klingenfeld's name can already be found in the Verein für Fraueninteressen in 1897, and she joins the Münchner Schriftstellerinnen-Verein in 1913. Klingenfeld reads appreciative poetry to the two founders Emma Haushofer-Merk (1854-1925) and Carry Brachvogel (1864-1942) on the occasion of their birthdays. The poet and literary historian Wilhelm Hertz (1835-1902), born in Stuttgart, received his doctorate in Tübingen in 1858 and moved to Munich in the same year, where the writer Hans Hopfen (1835-1904) introduced him to the "Krokodile" society (1857-1883). Hertz qualified to lecture in 1862 with a paper on the werewolf and became a private lecturer for German language and literature and then a full professor in 1878. He joined the Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften (Bavarian Academy of Sciences) in 1890. Emma Klingenfeld's (1848-1935) letters to Hertz deal with the Danish edition of "Aucassin and Nicolette", an old French verse and prose narrative from the 13th century, which Hertz wants to rewrite and Klingenfeld is to obtain from the publisher. The latter would be uncomfortable if "it turned out that your rewrite was not without influence on the Danish translation" (2 Jan 1894). Datum: 2019
