A title or form of address for an unmarried German-speaking woman, especially a young woman.
‘Fräulein Winkelmann’
‘It was hard to tell these days when a lady was a Fräulein or a Frau.’
‘Then she wondered, why did people always have to question her to ask if she was a Fräulein of a Frau?’
‘Ordinarily, the girls present would have no interest in such stories, but Fräulein Eva was gifted, and wove wonderful images through the thoughts of her audience.’
‘No, no, your secret's quite safe with Fräulein Steinberg and me.’
‘The other person in constant attendance was Fräulein Lehzen, brought over as governess and companion from Hanover when the princess was 6 months old.’
‘I find it ironic, though, that as a child I had never tired of hearing Fräulein Eva's tales of Siegfred the great warrior.’
‘I spotted Walter and Frederich and their gang, and in the distance I noticed Fräulein Eva also moving with us.’
