Biography
Born in the Austrian Netherlands and was Catholic. She served as a governess in the house of Princess V.A. Shakhovskaya , where her brother Joseph Paris served as a doctor. In the first time after the founding of the Catherine Institute in St. Petersburg, due to the small number of pupils, it was not supposed to be a boss. Subsequently, on the recommendation of Princess Shakhovskaya, the main leadership of the institute was entrusted to Anna Ivanovna von Breitkopf, who was appointed head and remained in this position until 1823. When the Catherine Institute was founded in 1802 in Moscow, Breitkopf was also appointed its head - to arrange it on the model of St. Petersburg.
Since the simultaneous management of two institutes was difficult after the first Moscow graduation, Breitkopf submitted to the Empress a request to leave her as the head of one institute and since 1807 she was in charge of only the Petersburg institute. In 1820, she was granted the lease of land Zeren-Alt and Talsingkaln in the Courland province .
According to the memoirs of A.O. Smirnova , Breitkopf enjoyed the common love of her many pupils and they sincerely called her maman . She died in St. Petersburg in 1823 after a three-day illness. Her death was a great grief for the entire institute [3] . She was buried at Volkovsky Lutheran cemetery .
