After completing her theater career, she performed in Berlin with Rilke recitation evenings. Sidonie Nadherny mentions her in a letter to Rilke: “My dear Rainer - today just a few lines about Frln. Tressnitz, a touching, dear, good person, with whom I now lived in Berlin for a few days, after having first visited the Lichnowskys, who then had to travel. Her life's work is to hold Rilke evenings; she now had one in Dresden in honor of her 50th birthday. She was in Leipzig at Inselverlag to interest him in Rilke evenings. She threw Dr. Krippenberg, who by the way is under a great psych. Depression suffers very much from the fact that the publisher did nothing to celebrate your 50th. ”(Correspondence RM Rilke / Sidonie Nadherny 1906–1926, 2007, p. 407).
