Theodor Reinwald

Theodor Reinwald was the pen name of Therese von Hansgirg (born Therese Jobish), an Austrian writer born on March 28, 1833, in České Budějovice. She wrote in German and is recorded in library and authority databases as using “Theodor Reinwald” as a pseudonym.

She lived during the Austro-Hungarian era and published fiction in the 19th century, including works such as Dunkle Fügungen. The surviving record is fairly sparse, but major cataloging sources identify her as a writer and connect both names—Therese von Hansgirg and Theodor Reinwald—to the same person.

Hansgirg died on July 29, 1914, in Graz. Even though little biographical detail is easy to confirm today, her work remains traceable through digital collections such as Project Gutenberg and library archives, which have helped preserve the name under which readers first encountered her writing.
