Helene Pintsch's father was the sheet metal manufacturer Karl Schulze. With her fortune, she supported numerous charitable projects until, from 1906, she devoted herself entirely to the support of "cripple welfare". For her social patronage she received the Women's Cross of Merit in silver in 1908 and in 1914, for the inauguration of the Oskar-Helene-Heim , which she and her husband founded , the Order of Luisen , the highest order of the Kingdom of Prussia.
Burial place
Helene and her husband Oskar Pintsch were buried in the family grave of the Pintsch family. The elaborate tomb has the shape of a Doric temple. The cemetery of the Protestant I. Georgen-Parochialgemeinde , formerly George Cemetery is one of the cemeteries of the Berlin Evangelical Georgen-Parochialgemeinde and adjacent to the 1854 built new Mary Nicholas cemetery at which a passage is possible. It is located at Greifswalder Straße 234/229 in the Berlin Prenzlauer Berg district, Pankow district. The cemetery was closed in 1970 but burials have been possible again since 1991. A planned reallocation of unneeded areas of the Georgen-Parochial- and the neighboring New Marien-Nikolai-Friedhof to building land was stopped for the time being after objections from residents.
