Her parents were the art historian Max Schasler and writer Nahida Sturmhoefel. Around 1854, she moved with her ​​mother until after the South of France, then to Palermo in 1864 and returned back to Berlin.

In his "Memories of Lazarus and stone valley " God Help Weisstein describes the " witty wife " by Moritz Lazarus and the salon, which both held in Berlin:

"Or actually held him his wife, who could measure up in their clever wit, her imaginative responsiveness to everything new and High in poetry, art and science, her charitable spirit and her sarcastic sense of humor with those founders of the Berlin ' aesthetic sociability ', the Henriette herz, Rahel Varnhagen Levy, Marianne Somar and Elise from Hohenhausen. Not that you ' aesthetically chatted with Lazarus and meditate ized, this was both he and they, too strong reality people, but a cult of the Noble was implicitly there from hosts and guests driven, which made everything ignoble appear from the outset as excluded and had to banish. "

"Even for the new big, amazing art first Meininger has made ​​a far -sounding propaganda in Lazarus'schen home first.. . Lazarus and his wife took the time to stormy newspaper debates, strife and feud writings of all kinds occasion giving " Meiningerei " as they said mockingly, the greatest enthusiasm and sympathetic participation contrary and could still in favor with joy the reversal of the general opinion of the Meiningen experience whose directing and Inscenierungsprinzipien are then clarified and mitigated by the local " German Theatre " (1883 ) became the Code of theater art in the civilized world since that time.
