Charlotte, das Vorbild der Lotte in Goethes »Werther«, * Wetzlar 11. 1. 1753, ✝ Hannover 16. 1. 1828. Goethe lernte sie auf einem ländlichen Ball in Volpertshausen (bei Wetzlar) am 9. 6. 1772 als Braut des Gesandtschaftssekretärs bei der bremischen Subdelegation (am Reichskammergericht) Johann Georg Christian Kestner (* 1741, ✝ 1800) kennen, den sie 1773 heiratete. Die späte Wiederbegegnung mit Goethe 1816 wird von T. Mann in seinem Roman »Lotte in Weimar« (1939) dichterisch gestaltet.
