Karolina Andriette Nobel (born Karolina Andriette Ahlsell;[1][2] 30 September 1803 – 7 December 1889) was a Swedish woman and the mother of scientist Alfred Nobel.
Life
[edit]Andriette was the daughter of Carolina Roospigg,[3] and her father worked as a head clerk.[1]
On 8 July 1827, she married Immanuel Nobel.[2][4] The couple had a total of eight children, of whom Robert, Ludvig, Alfred, and Emil reached adulthood.[5][6]
In 1828, Andriette and Immanuel rented an apartment in the suburbs of Stockholm;[7] however, due to Immanuel's bankruptcy in 1833, the family had to move to another location in Stockholm.[8] Immanuel later moved to Finland in 1837, then further east to Russia in 1838,[2] while Andriette stayed in Stockholm. She later joined Immanuel in St. Petersburg in 1842, together with Ludvig and Alfred.[9] During the years alone in Stockholm, she provided for the family by running a milk and vegetable shop.[10][8]
She died on 7 December 1889.[11]
