Life

Ehlers, the daughter of Wilhelm and Louise Ehlers , performed with her father at a concert in Vienna at the age of 10. From August 1825 to May 1826 she worked at the Magdeburg Theater, from July 1826 to June 1827 at the Mannheim Theater, then at the Danzig Theater (1827/28?), The Stuttgart Court Theater (1828/29) and the Kassel Court Theater (1830/31) , probably always at the same time as her father. In Kassel she met the officer Christian Thielemann and married him. This marriage forced him to give up his military career and both emigrated to the United States. From 1846 she lived with him in Cincinnati . In 1852 she left the city again. Her further life up to her death is unknown. But she had apparently separated from her husband and returned to Europe. The German stage almanac lists her in 1856 as an actress at the imperial court theater in St. Petersburg.

The artist died of burns from a stage accident on November 13 or 25, 1865, when her stage dress caught fire, on December 16, 1865 in St. Petersburg .
