Christina Regina von Birchenbaum was a Finnish poet. She is regarded as the first female poet in Finland: the first published female poet in Finland, however, was Maria Simointytär.
She is considered the author of the poem “Een annor Ny wijsa” from 24 July 1651. The poem describes the life of a women during the Thirty Years' war. Her poem was, however, not published until 1896. She is thereby considered the first female poet in Finland, while Maria Simointytär, who was published in 1683, is counted as the first published one. She reportedly married Major Axel Paulj Liljenfeldt.
