Born in Neubrandenburg, Germany, Mühlbach began her career as a teacher before transitioning to writing. She chose to write under the pseudonym L. Mühlbach to distinguish her literary work from her teaching profession. Mühlbach's novels were highly popular during the 19th century, both in Germany and internationally. She specialized in historical fiction that focused on significant figures and events in European history, blending meticulous research with engaging storytelling. Mühlbach's writing was known for its vivid descriptions, rich characterizations, and attention to historical detail, making her novels both entertaining and educational. Some of her notable works include ""Old Fritz and the New Era"" (about Frederick the Great of Prussia), ""Joseph II and His Court"" (about Emperor Joseph II of Austria), and ""Marie Antoinette and Her Son"" (about Marie Antoinette of France). These novels not only brought historical figures to life but also explored the political, social, and cultural landscapes of their respective eras.
Mühlbach's ability to weave together historical fact and fictional narrative contributed to her popularity among readers seeking both entertainment and historical insight.
