Schopenhauer, Adele (Hamburg, 1797-1848, Bonn), sister of the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, lived from 1806 to 1828 with her mother Johanna Schopenhauer in Weimar, where she belonged to the circle around Goethe. She wrote Haus-, Wald- und Feldmärchen (2 vols., 1844), a novel (Anna, 2 vols., 1845), and Eine dänische Geschichte (1848).
