Berta was born in the small town of Scherhein (Germany), on the 25th June 1858, to a well-to-do family with a fairly comfortable economic position.<\/p>\n
Her father, Mr. Fernando Philipp Wilhelmi y Fromm\u00e9 (24-04-1821 Endekoben, Germany), an industrial engineer, arrived in Granada to assemble the machinery of an important paper factory, from where he would not leave, settling with his family, made up of his second wife, Hedwing Henrich “Carolina”, his two children, Berta and Luis, as well as the three children from his previous marriage.<\/p>\n
In 1855, Mr. Fernando, together with Mr. Luis Lemm\u00e9 Fetch, created the Wilhelmi and Lemm\u00e9 Manufacturing Company, which would have paper mills in Chimeneas Altas (D\u00fadar), in El Blanqueo (Pinos Genil) and in Paseo del Sal\u00f3n (Granada), as well as numerous farms and a small power station in El Blanqueo. These properties and company would be inherited and managed by Berta.<\/p>\n
