Wilhelmina von Schnurrhausen

Wilhelmina was fiercely ambitious and impossibly refined. Married to Friedrich von Schnurrhausen, a prosperous steel baron with an unfortunate habit of snoring like a forge, she took on her role as “Society’s Purr-tess” with both grace and mischief. Though admired for her beauty, Wilhelmina was most famous for her sharp wit. Rumor had it that she once convinced a rival industrialist to invest in silk stockings for cats — an enterprise that failed spectacularly. By the end of her days, she wasn’t just a pretty face with pristine fur — she was a legend, forever immortalized as the sharp-tongued muse of Germany’s most prosperous steel baron.
