Life
Margarethe Freifräulein von Bülow was born into the Bülow family in Berlin on February 23, 1860. She was the daughter of diplomat Hugo Freiherr von Bülow. She grew up in various countries, including England. She was close to her elder sister, the novelist Frieda von Bülow. She was also a literary protégé of the literary critic and satirist Fritz Mauthner.

Von Bülow drowned in Berlin on January 2, 1884, after saving the life of a boy who had fallen through the ice while skating on the Rummelsburger See lake. Mauthner and her sister Frieda edited her writings for posthumous publication.
