Life
Angelica Pauline Amalie gods came on December 29, 1786 in Gotha to the world. Her parents were the playwright, Privy Councillor and archivist Friedrich Wilhelm Gotter and Louise gods born stairs. Her mother was a close friend of Caroline Schlegel, born Michaelis, while her father was a close friend since his youth with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
Pauline Gotter had two sisters and knew Goethe and Caroline Schlegel from childhood. In her youth she was friends with Sylvie von Ziegesar and the painter Louise Seidler.

Pauline Gotter was biased for the friend of her mother and was crazy about it. Caroline Schlegel was witty woman who had taken the French Revolution Party and was nearly arrested for treason. The philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Schelling, who is a rising star in science and an ardent supporter Johann Gottlieb Fichte was initially in Jena, fell first into her daughter, who was almost the same age as Pauline Gotter. When they fell ill in 1800 at the Ruhr, he tried to help his own means, without being able to prevent death in his despair. Pauline Gotter and her family had to witness how levied on Schelling accusations and rumors were spread. " Schelling ," said Dorothea Veit, " have, in fudged '." The " Jenaische General Literary Gazette " spread, " he heal, idealistic ' and kill ' real. '" Rumors, accusations and gossip did not break down as August Wilhelm Schlegel and his wife Caroline were divorced in 1803, claiming von Goethe, so that they later Friedrich Wilhelm Schelling could marry two months.

In letters and visits, they tried to comfort Schelling, who withdrew more and saw exposed in science and the Church further attacks. This confidential expectant correspondence led to engagement with Pauline Gotter.
On June 11th 1812 Pauline Gotter married eleven years older than Friedrich Wilhelm Schelling, who was raised in the same year to the peerage and received a professorship at the Academy of Sciences in Munich. On December 17, 1813 their first child was born. This was followed by five more. One of the daughters was named in honor of his first wife Caroline. The leadership of the House and the education of their children took Pauline Schelling to complete. Her letters show a graceful naturalness busy, but does not remove enough of the spiritual significance of his first wife. She was in this respect not a substitute for Friedrich Wilhelm Schelling, who was humanly difficult and philosophically increasingly withdrew into an indeterminable mythology and had to follow the same to his chagrin the scientific advancement of Hegel.
