Anna Magdalena was born to judge Høpfner in Haderslev. She married Andreas Hartvig Godiche (1714-1769) of Copenhagen in 1736. He owned one of the biggest printing companies in Denmark and was one of those contributing to the expansion of book printing in Denmark in the mid 18th century.
She took over the company as a widow and managed it until her death. Her son was mentally unwell and was not able to manage it. She owned the monopoly of printing and publishing the sentences of the de facto regent Johann Friedrich Struensee and Enevold Brandt, who were famously executed in 1772. She specialized in historical works, and printed Andreas Bussæus's Frederik 4.s Dagsregistre (1770), Niels Krag's Christian IIIs Historie (1776-79) and Historiske Efterretninger om velfortiente danske Adelsmænd (1777-79) by Tycho de Hofman. [1][2][3][4]
After her death, the business was inherited by her daughter Elisabeth Christine Berling, who already managed the printing business and brewery of her late spouse and therefore dissolved it.[5]
Anna Magdalena Godiche was the target of Ewald's well known epigram "Madame G."
