Helene Voigt-Diederichs
Helene Theodora Voigt-Diederichs (May 28, 1875 – December 3, 1961) was a German writer.[1]
The daughter of Christian Theodor Voigt and Marie Louise Brinckmann, she was born Helene Theodora Voigt on the family estate Marienhoff near Eckernförde[1] and was educated by private tutors.[2] Voigt sent Hermann Hesse a "fan letter" after reading one of his poems in 1897 and the two continued to exchange letters for a number of years.[3] In 1898, she married the publisher Eugen Diederichs. She moved with him to Jena; after they separated in 1911, she moved to Brunswick but returned to Jena in 1931.[2] She died in Jena at the age of 86.[1]
