About
She was born in Ludwigsburg, Germany. When her husband Theodor Märklin founded the company Märklin, she became involved in it as a travelling salesman. Following the accidental death of her first husband in 1866, she took over the management of the toy company, which she managed until her sons took over the company in 1888. Women in Germany would become fully legally able to do business only a century later.
