Live and act
Henriette Friederica Elend, whose place of birth is unknown, was the daughter of the lawyer and government official Gottfried Heinrich Elend and his wife Anna Elisabeth Augusta Müller. After her father was raised to the nobility as "von Elensheim" in 1749, she also had the last name chosen by her father "von Ellendsheim".
Von Elensheim became known through her will, which she wrote on March 5, 1808. In it, she stipulated that the foundation for secret wills should receive half of its assets. She bequeathed the other half to the city of Kiel. As a condition for this, she noted that the four existing small urban poor monasteries should be merged into one city monastery. Plans for this had existed for a long time, but could not be realized due to a lack of money. In doing so she founded today's Kiel city monastery .
Henriette Friederica von Elensheim died unmarried at the end of 1808 and was buried in the St. Jürgen cemetery . The Kiel city monastery was not built until several years later in 1822.
The Friederica von Ellendsheim house of the Kiel city monastery at Christianistraße 10-12 is named after her.
