Nathalie von Milde was born in Munich as Natalie Haller and she may have been the illegitimate daughter of the wife of a privy councilor named Jakobsohn. From the late 1850s she lived in Weimar with the singers Hans and Rosa von Milde. Rosa gave her music lessons and Carl Müllerhartung taught her music as well. After illness damaged her voice she privately studied philosophy with Karl Volkmar Stoy in Jena in 1879/1880. In 1881 she was formally adopted by the Von Milde family. In 1880 she started giving lectures on women's issues. In 1888 she joined the Deutschen Frauenverein Reform (German Women's Association Reform) that was founded by Hedwig Kettler in Weimar in that year. In 1902 princess Pauline of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach supported her in founding a reading room for women. Among her friends were Helene Böhlau, Marie von Bülow and Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach.
