Birth and family
Elisabeth was born in
She married, 2 November 1893, at Genoa, Italy, Otto Ludwig Philipp von Seefried auf Buttenheim, Freiherr zu Hagenbach (26 September 1870 in Bamberg – 5 September 1951 at Stiebar Palace in Gresten). Elisabeth and Otto eloped and married secretly, as they knew they would never be officially permitted to marry. Not only was Otto of much lower rank than Elisabeth, he was also a Protestant. In a letter announcing the marriage to his new parents-in-law, Otto stated that he and Elisabeth were so determined not to be parted that they had felt forced to choose between elopement and mutual suicide.[1]

She died aged 83 in 1957, and was buried at the cemetery in Gresten.
