Maria Vespermann Gorres Arndts  (5 April 1823 – 22 May 1882) was a German composer,[1] writer, and painter[2] who sometimes used the pseudonym Carl Pauss.[3] Her music was also published under the names Maria Gorres and Maria Arndts.

Vespermann was born in Munich to the actor Wilhelm Vespermann and singer Clara Metzger Vespermann.[4] She showed musical talent at an early age, and appeared in her first public concert when she was only 12 years old.[5]

Vespermann married the Catholic historian and poet Guido Görres in 1844. They had three daughters before Görres died in 1852. In 1860 she married jurist Carl Ludwig Arndts von Arnesberg in Vienna.[5]

Gorres' music was published by Aibl (now Universal Edition)[6] and her prose was published by Verlag Ferdinand Schöningh.[7]
