Portrait

Karolina Andriette Nobel (born Karolina Andriette Ahlsell;[1][2] 30 September 1803 – 7 December 1889[3]) was a Swedish woman and the mother of scientist Alfred Nobel. Andriette was the daughter of Carolina Roospigg,[4] and her father worked as a head clerk.[1] On the 8th of July 1827 she married Immanuel Nobel, Alfred's father.[2][5] The couple had a total of eight children, out of which Robert Nobel, Ludvig Nobel, Alfred Nobel, and Emil Oskar Nobel reached adulthood.[6] In 1828, Andriette and Immanuel rented an apartment in the suburbs of Stockholm,[7] however, due to Immanuel's bankruptcy in 1833 the family had to move to another location in Stockholm.[8] Immanuel later moved to Finland in 1837, then further east to Russia in 1838,[2] while Andriette stayed in Stockholm. She later joined Immanuel in St. Petersburg in 1842, together with Ludvig and Alfred.[9] During the years alone in Stockholm, she provided for the family by running a milk and vegetable shop.[10][8]
