Life
Eppert, daughter of a government official, originally wanted to be a teacher.

In 1836 she made her debut at a private theater in Dresden. In 1837 she got her first engagement at the Brno Theater, where she made her debut as a page in the Kronstein tournament .
In 1841 she moved to Graz as a lively and naive lover , where her daughter Clara was born on November 6, 1841 . The child grew up with the grandparents in Dresden, the mother went to the Landestheater Linz after three years . From there, on the recommendation of the court opera singer Mathilde von Marlow (1828–1888) , she was engaged at the Darmstadt Court Theater, where she made her debut on April 17, 1846 as "Franziska" in Mother and Son . She stayed there for 41 years until she retired from the stage. From 1857 she acted as a strange old woman .
In December 1867 she married the comedian Heinrich Kronfeld.
On April 17, 1886, she celebrated her 50th stage and 40th anniversary in Darmstadt in the role of Lotte in Die Galoschen des Glücks ; she retired a year later.
