Baroness Wolfradine Auguste Luise von Minutoli (1 February 1794 â 22 November 1864) was a German writer and Egyptologist.
Countess Wolfradine August Luise von der Schulenburg was born in Dessau, as the youngest child and only daughter Count Adolph Friedrich Werner von der Schulenburg (1759âÂÂ1825) and his wife, Wolfradine von Kampen (1773âÂÂ1794).
In September 1820 Wolfradine arrived, along with her husband Heinrich Menu von Minutoli, member of the Minutoli family, and other scholars, in Alexandria as part of a research expedition to Egypt. Wolfradine published an account of her travels, first in French in 1826 as Mes souvenirs dâÂÂEgypte and subsequently in English (1827) and German (1829).This is one of very few travel accounts written by German women at this time. In it she demonstrates her classical education by quoting Strabo, Pliny the Elder, and Pausanias throughout it.
Wolfradine and Heinrich had three sons, Julius, Adolph and Alexander.
