Life

Galster, the daughter of the actor Karl Galster , was chosen by him for the stage job. Also Wilhelmine Schroder-Devrient advised her to the theater profession. In a small trouser role she appeared in front of an audience for the first time in the comedy "Lady Ellen". At the Hamburg Stadttheater she developed further under Jean Baptist Baison , where she made her debut in all child roles, in Midsummer Night's Dream , Count Waldemar and Sputter . She almost attracted attention in Berlin as “Marie” in Die Bettlerin , one of the most difficult children's roles ever written. In children's comedies by Karl August Görner, she literally electrified the Berlin audience. She was employed like a big guy and by her 15th birthday she had already taken the stage 500 times.

Too old for children's roles, but still too young for teenage lovers, she took lessons from Adele Peroni-Glasbrenner . She got her first independent engagement in Hamburg in 1856. After two years she went to Breslau and then to Darmstadt, where she met the court opera singer Siga Garsò and got married in 1860. Then she went to Kassel.

She died of an abdominal infection when she was only 23 years old .

Her siblings were Caesar Galster (married to Livia Eichberger , opera singer), Georgine Galster and Carl Galster , all of whom were also actors.

The dancers Amalie Galster (1812–1881) and Hulda Galster (1810–1874), sisters of her father, were her aunts. The dancer Paul Taglioni , married to Amalie, was her uncle by marriage and her child Maria Taglioni the Younger (1833-1891), also a dancer, was her cousin.
