Katharina Amalie Dorothea von Schlegel
Catharina Amalia Dorothea von Schlegel (– 24 December 1777) was a German hymn writer. She was born into the nobility in Mittelhausen near Allstedt, in Saxe-Eisenach, the sixth of eleven children of Wolff Otto von Schlegel (1650?–1708) and his wife Helene Dorothea von der Oelsnitz (1664–c1714). Although her Julian-date birthday was 11 October, which translates to the Gregorian date 21 October in 1697, she later celebrated her birthday on 22 October, likely as the result of the incorrect application of the 18th century Julian-Gregorian calendar offset to a 17th-century date.
