Emilie Jenisch was the daughter of Gottlieb and Caroline Jenisch. The father worked as a businessman. The mother was born Freiin von Lützow and a widowed Countess von Westphalen-Fürstenberg. The family lived in a day from the Overseas Club 19 used large building at Neuer Jungfernstieg
1875 died Gottlieb Jenisch. Emilie Jenisch, who had two younger sisters, inherited this house and lived there until the end of her life, after her mother's death in 1882. She lived in the house on Neuer Jungfernstieg in winter. The summer residence was the parents' White House on Elbchaussee .

After the inheritance, Emilie Jenisch did not intend to work in public. The pastor of the Anschar congregation , Carl Ninck , was able to convince them to stand up for the community. Jenisch gave the community their house on Neuer Jungfernstieg to use as a community center. In 1883 she founded the Emilienstift named after her, which was initially located on Eppendorfer Landstrasse. The facility served as an apartment for "morally endangered - but not yet fallen" girls who were confirmed and not yet of legal age. In 1885 Jenisch left the apartment to the community, which soon did not offer enough space. Pastor Nick therefore purchased a piece of land on her behalf on which a new building was to be built. The building complex on Tarpenbekstraße in Eppendorf could be used as Sankt Anscharhöhe from 1886 . It provided space for the Emilienstift, which moved from the former apartment here. It was also taken by an infirmary belonging to the Anschar community called "Emmaus". This facility served as a home for terminally ill and old women. The orphanage for girls called “Kastanienhof” operated by the Rauhen Haus also found space in the new building complex. Some of the old buildings have been preserved to this day.

Emilie Jenisch, who was deaf, died unmarried. After her death, she was buried in the Ohlsdorf cemetery. The grave is at AH 17.1–8; AH 17, 1a – 8a (at the Kleine Horst / Westring pedestrian entrance ).
