On December 29, 1921, Albine Nagel married the Jewish aluminum manufacturer Hans Ballin from Seesen . From 1931 she worked as a freelancer on various stages in Germany and Austria. After the seizure of power of the Nazis in early 1933, this is a performance ban imposed on them and locked them also from the Ministry of Arts , since she was married to a Jew.
After the end of the Second World War , Albine Nagel appeared again in Braunschweig for the first time in 1947. In 1951 she was made an honorary member of the Braunschweig State Theater. She died of a fall in Braunschweig in 1969 and was buried in Seesen, in the grave of her mother Katharina. An inscription in memory of her husband, Hans Ballin, was also placed on the tombstone.
