Life
She began her theater career at the age of 13 as a choir singer at the Komische Oper and the Komödienhaus in Berlin. In 1912 she received her first film role through Max Mack .
She played cheeky brats in serious and cheerful productions, at the same time she appeared on Berlin stages. Between 1916 and 1918 she also tried her hand at writing, and in 1916 she founded Lotte-Neumann-Film-GmbH, which existed until 1919.

It was only during her lengthy divorce proceedings, which ran from 1929 to 1932, that she ended her career as an actress. From 1933 she worked as a film writer under the pseudonym CH Diller.
