BIRCH - PFEIFFER, CHARLOTTE (1800-1868),
German
  actress and dramatic writer, was born at
Stuttgart
  on the 23rd of June 1800, the daughter of an estate agent named Pfeiffer. She received her early training at the
Munich
 
court
  theatre, and in 1818 began to play leading tragic roles at various theatres. In 1825 she married the historian Christian Birch of
Copenhagen
 , but continued to act. From 1837 to 1843 she managed the theatre at Zurich. In 1844 she accepted an engagement at the royal theatre in Berlin, to which she remained attached until her death on the 24th of August 1868. Her intimate knowledge of the technical necessities of the stage fitted her for the successful dramatization of many popular novels, and her plays, adapted and
original
 , make twenty-three volumes, Gesammelte dramatische Werke (Leip. 1863-188o). Many still retain the public favour. Her novels and tales, Gesammelte Novellen and
Erzdhlungen, were collected in three volumes (Leip. 1863-1865).
Her daughter, WILHELMINE VON HILLERN (b. 1836), born at
Munich
 , went on the stage, but retired upon her
marriage
  in 1857. After 1889 she lived in Oberammergau and won a reputation as a novelist. Her most popular works are Ein Arzt der Seele (1869, 4th ed. 1886); and Die Geier-Wally (1883), which was dramatized and translated into
English
  as The
Vulture
  Maiden (Leip. 1876).
