Van wie was Lili Schönemann?

Anna Elisabeth "Lili" Schönemann (23 June 1758 - 6 May 1817) was the daughter of a Frankfurt banker. In August 1778 she became engaged to, and then married, another banker, Bernhardt Friedrich von Türckheim, and her name became "Lilli" von Türckheim. Before that happened, however, between January and October 1775 she was engaged in an intense love affair with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, described in one source as his "first great love". Memories lingered: towards the end of his life, conversing with his young friend Johann Peter Eckermann, Goethe recalled that he had loved Lili profoundly and had never been so close to happiness as he was with her. She featured repeatedly in his written work, identified simply as "Lili" or, according to some sources, as "Lilli".

Lili Schönemann's descendants include the comedienne Charlotte de Turckheim.

Johann Wolfgang (von) Goethe (spreek uit als: [ˈgøːtə]) (Frankfurt am Main, 28 augustus 1749 – Weimar, 22 maart 1832) was een Duits wetenschapper, toneelschrijver, romanschrijver, filosoof, dichter, natuuronderzoeker en staatsman. Goethe was de schrijver van onder meer Faust, Die Leiden des jungen Werthers en Zur Farbenlehre. In 1782 werd hij in de adelstand verheven en mocht hij het voorvoegsel "von" in zijn familienaam gebruiken. Goethe geldt als een van de belangrijkste schrijvers, dichters en denkers van Duitsland.
