About the author

Käte Lubowski was a German novelist born on December 24, 1875. Reference listings identify her as a writer of fiction and connect her with the pseudonyms J. Held and Irma Stahl.

Bibliographic sources link her to novels including Die ihr gesegnet seid (1915), Gabi Schaffner (1918), Liebesopfer (1921), and Die Krone des Lebens (1927). She is also represented in Project Gutenberg, which has helped keep at least some of her work available to modern readers.

Sources agree that Lubowski lived in Neubabelsberg, now part of Potsdam, in the 1930s. Some records give her death as April 4, 1945, in Babelsberg, while another literary reference notes only that she died sometime after 1932, so details of her final years appear to remain uncertain.
