Marian H. Mülberger (1878–1969)
Marian H (edwig) Mülberger1 was born in Manchester to a daughter of a businessman from Stuttgart and an English woman. Her great-grandmother Caroline Mülberger (1772–1863) was a sister of Johann Friedrich Cottas, the publisher of the German classics.2 She grew up bilingual and attended the Anglo-Ger-man high school in Manchester from about 1886.
After the early death of her parents, she moved with her sister Elsa B (eatrix) (1882 - after 1969) to her grandmother in Stuttgart.
"This was how the common path [the sisters] began to complement and help each other with a conscious claim to attitude, performance and culture in existence." 3 She attended the Katharinenstift in Stuttgart until 1894, then the arts and crafts school. In an autobiographical report she wrote for her relatives on the occasion of her 90th birthday, she said that she hadn't liked drawing at all, "because that includes imagination, and I didn't have it". But she found her life's work, initially as a freelancer in Stuttgart, in drawings on biology. From 1901–03 she made insect drawings for the zoologist Julius Vosseler (private lecturer at the TH), later plant drawings were added. From 1903–09 she worked as an assistant to the zoologist Valen-tin Haecker (1864–1927, professor at the Technical University) on the publication of one in the Reichsauf 4.5 M. H. Mülberger, Exlibris für ihren Onkel (oder Vetter) Arthur Mülberger, 1903

Ankel still called "based on truth and aesthetics in 1969 Uniqueness ”. In collaboration with Haecker, a series of blackboards for biology lessons was also created. 1912–14 she worked for the Stuttgart Hygiene Exhibition from 1914. In addition to the creation of drawings for zoological and botanical works and blackboards for lessons, she continued her scientific education.
