Life

Luise was the daughter of the physicist Franz Ernst Neumann and sister of the mathematician Karl Gottfried Neumann , the economist Julius von Neumann and the pathologist and hematologist Ernst Neumann . She devoted herself to the art of painting and was a student of Johannes Heydeck and Hugo Knorr .

After a stay in Joachimsthal in Brandenburg , where her father went to school, she wrote his life story Franz Ernst Neumann, memorial sheets . She donated his estate to the City History Museum in Königsberg , which furnished a Franz Neumann room. This museum owned u. a. her portraits of Franz Neumann and the art historian Ernst August Hagen . With the exception of a landscape painting, a porcelain painting and a few portraits, her entire work was lost in Rauschen in Samland in 1945.
