Eleonore von Grothaus, also Countess Eleonore von Münster[1] (10 April 1734 – 26 March 1794), was a German noblewoman, a writer and poet, and a lay musician. She may have assembled a collection of writings and music, the Ledenburg Collection from the manor house where she was born. The collection held music by notable 18th-century composers that seemed lost until it was rediscovered in 2015.
