Johanna SchopenhauerJohanna Schopenhauer (July 9, 1766 - April 17, 1838) was an author and the mother of Arthur Schopenhauer. Schopenhauer was born in Gdańsk (German:Danzig),in Poland. She became an author and wrote about her life in her native city. After the annexation of her city by Prussia in 1793, she and her husband fled to Hamburg. Following her husband's death in 1807 she moved to Weimar and belonged to the literary circle surrounding Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The charming coffee shop where she "held court" with authors and intellectuals of her day still stands in front of a statue of Goethe by the opera house square in modern Weimar. Johanna is today perhaps best known as the mother of the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, who had a troubled relationship with her.
