Summary/Abstract: The present work treats the relationship between Mite Kremnitz and Maiorescu so it is indicated in the notes from Maiorescu. Maiorescu has known the Kremnitz family since 1859, when he was asked from the Justizrat Kremnitz to teach French meditation to his children. After she married, Mite and her husband Willhelm arrived in Romania on the advice of Maiorescu with the hope that the live her would be better than in Germany. Maiorescu, who helped them a lot since their arrival in Romania, it was right calling them here because gradually over several years both of them were successful both material and spiritual in our country. Wilhelm became doctor of the royal couple and Mite became a writer, first translating the work of the Junimists and later published several Briefromane together with Carmen Sylva. Therefore the contribution from Maiorescu to the success of husbands Kremnitz is undeniable. But equally true is the fact that Maiorescu found in Kremnitz husbands those friends that he needed that his personality can develop. It's a shame that Maiorescu not has collaborated more in the literary field with Mite, because the two together could do much more to popularize Romanian culture in the German space.
