Born in Malmedy, then in the Prince-Bishopric of Liège, now Belgium.
Marie-Anne Libert was born on April 7, 1782, in the culturally rich region of Malmedy. This area, part of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège at the time, provided a nurturing environment for Libert's early explorations in nature. Growing up in a large family, she developed an enduring interest in the natural world. Her birthplace later became part of Belgium, a state renowned for its diverse ecological landscapes, which likely influenced her career in botany and mycology.
