She was born at Göttingen, the daughter of the orientalist Johann David Michaelis.
She was one of the so-called Universitätsmamsellen, a group of five academically active women during the 18th and 19th centuries, daughters of academics at Göttingen University, alongside Meta Forkel-Liebeskind, Therese Huber, Philippine Engelhard, and Dorothea Schlözer. After his death, in 1788, she returned to Göttingen, where she became familiar with the poet Gottfried August Bürger and the critic of the Romantic school, August Wilhelm Schlegel. She became the wife of the philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling.
She died at Maulbronn in 1809.
Caroline Schelling played a considerable role in the intellectual movement of her time, especially in her role with Jena Romanticism. She is especially remarkable for the assistance she afforded Schlegel in his translation of Shakespeare"s works.
