Maximiliane Brentano (May 1756 – 19 November 1793) was a German woman who is notable for her friendship to the young Goethe and as the mother of the writers Clemens Brentano and Bettina von Arnim.

Early life and family[edit]

[[File:BrentanoFamilienbild.jpg|thumb|right| Maximiliane Euphrosine von La Roche was born in Mainz in May 1756.[a] Her mother was the author Sophie von La Roche and her father was Georg Michael La Roche [de], an adopted and probably illegitimate son of Count Anton Heinrich Friedrich von Stadion [de], a high ranking court official working for the Elector of Mainz.[4][5] Maximiliane was the oldest of eight children, five of whom reached adulthood.[6]

Stadioner Hof, Mainz

In Mainz, the family lived in the Stadioner Hof [de] palace.[7] After Stadion's 1761 retirement, they accompanied him and moved to Schloss Warthausen with his family.[7] When Stadion died in 1768, relations between his legitimate sons and La Roche were strained, and the family moved on to live in the Stadionsches Schloss [de] castle in Bönnigheim, where Maximiliane's father had inherited a position from Stadion.[8] to Ehrenbreitstein [de]
