Biography:

Käthe Olshausen-Schönberger (born June 11, 1881 in Mödling - Hinterbrühl , † January 1, 1968 in Graz ) was an Austrian writer and illustrator. Her works also appeared under the names Käthe Schönberger, Katharina von Dombrowski, Kathe von Dombrowski, Baroness von Dombrowski, and the abbreviation KOS.

Käthe Olshausen-Schönberger was born on June 11, 1881 in Mödling as Katharina Ludovika Schönberger. She grew up in Abbazia and came to Berlin at the age of 14. Without having completed a training, she was already a well-known illustrator and illustrator of ex-libris and animal caricatures at the age of 20 years. Numerous drawings by the artist were first published in the Flying Leaves and later in book form. In 1914 she received the silver medal of the Bugra in Leipzig .
The double name she adopted after her wedding with the German diplomat Franz Olshausen . This relationship comes as a descendant of the biochemist Joern Olshausen (1903-1988). In the marriage with Olshausen she lived in Berlin, Munich, Königstein im Taunus, at times also in New York, South America and probably also in Africa.
In her second marriage she was married to painter Carl Ritter von Dombrowski to Papros and Kruswic. After that, she also used the name Katharina von Dombrowski for her works. From 1930 she published numerous novels, short stories and essays. She also worked for film and radio play and as a translator from English, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.
