Mother of Henrik Ibsen.

Marichen Cornelia Martine Altenburg – known as Marichen – was the daughter of Hedevig Christine Paus and shipowner Johan Andreas Altenburg, and was raised in Altenburggården, her parents' large townhouse in Skien. Her mother Hedevig Paus was the sister of Ole Paus, the stepfather of her would-be husband Knud Ibsen. The Paus siblings were born in Upper Telemark where the Paus family had been distinguished civil servants since the early 17th century. Through the Paus family Marichen was raised as a close relative of Knud, although they were not closely related biologically.
