Charlotte Hohmann (born Charlotte Scheffel: 19 May 1900 – 8 December 1971) was the first editor in chief of Die Frau von heute, the mass circulation weekly women's magazine founded in 1946 in Germany's Soviet occupation zone, into which, after 1949, rival publications were absorbed.
As a young woman she was a political activist (KPD).
Unlike her brother, she survived the Nazi years, but she nevertheless underwent several Gestapo interrogation sessions.
During the early 1950s she held various senior positions within the East German print media sector even, at least on paper, after her retirement in 1955.
