The women at Melaten were nuns, women's rights activists, writers, entrepreneurs, patrons of the arts and generous benefactors. Exciting lives are hidden behind the gravestones, which are often forgotten. Everyone knows Klosterfrau Melissengeist, but Maria Clementine Martin? Adele Rautenstrauch donated a museum, Mathilde Joest a retirement home, Laura Oelbermann was even mentioned in travel guides in her day.
