Luise Fastenrath (née Goldmann; 10 March 1858 – 28 March 1914), also known by the pen name Luise von Asten, was a Hungarian-born writer and translator.
She was born to a Jewish family in Zombor, the younger sister of Anna Forstenheim. In 1883, she converted to Catholicism and married writer Johannes Fastenrath at the Augustinian Church in Vienna.[1] She founded the Fastenrath Foundation soon after her husband's death in 1908.[2]
Fastenrath translated numerous works into German from Spanish, Catalan, and French,[3] including José Echegaray's drama Vida alegre y muerte triste.[4]
