Henriette Herz
Henriette Herz (
September 5,
1764 -
October 22,
1847) was a close friend of Dorothea Mendelssohn, daughter of the famous Jewish thinker
Moses Mendelssohn. Born Henriette De Lemos, she was the daughter of a physician, descended from a Portuguese Jewish family of
Hamburg. She had grown up in the
Berlin of the
Jewish Emancipation and had shared tutors apparently with the Mendelssohn's daughters. She initiated the "salonnieres" or literary
salons that Emancipated Jews would start in Prussia in what has been described as a "miniature utopia" by the writer
Deborah Hertz. At age fifteen, she married a physician, twenty years her senior. Dr.
Marcus Herz had studied medicine at the
University of Koenigsberg (the native town of the philosopher
Immanuel Kant), one of the three only universities that accepted Jews but only in its medical faculty. She was said to be an extremely beautiful woman.
