Charlotte von Siebold

Marian Theodore Charlotte Heidenreich von Siebold (12 September 1788 – 8 July 1859) was a German physician. She is regarded as the first gynecologist in Germany. She was the daughter of the physicians Damian and Regina von Siebold and early an assistant of her parents. She graduated with an exam in obstetrician by the Göttingen University in 1815.

She assisted at both Queen Victoria's birth on May 24, 1819 at Kensington Palace in London and Queen Victoria's first cousin and husband Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha's birth on August 26, 1819 at Rosenau Palace in Coburg.
