Short Description
"Charlotte Buff (11 January 1753, Wetzlar – 16 January 1828, Hanover) was a youthful acquaintance of the poet Goethe, who fell in love with her. She rejected him and instead married Johann Christian Kestner, vice-archivist and privy councillor to the Hanoverian court. The character of Lotte, in Goethe´s novel The Sorrows of Young Werther, is partly based on her. Their relationship was characterized by heartiness and lack of constraint.[clarification needed] Goethe bought the wedding rings for her and Kestner, in Frankfurt am Main. Charlotte and Kestner had four daughters and eight sons, among them August Kestner." - (en.wikipedia.org 09.03.2020)
