Wilhelmine Korn was the daughter of the actor Gottlob Stephanie and his wife Anna Milka. She was orphaned in 1801. In 1802 she debuted at the Burgtheater as Elisabeth in "Graf von Burgund". In 1806 she married the actor Maximilian Korn. Her first tragic role was Melitta in "Sappho" by Grillparzer. It made her famous and she mostly played youthful lovers at the Burgtheater until seizures forced her to interrupt her career in 1819. She was able to return to the stage and played more mature parts until she retired in 1931. She died in Hietzing in 1843.
