Malvina von Humbracht was the youngest daughter of the Prussian Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Franz Ludwig Wilhelm von Humbracht (1783–1850) and his wife Dorothea Luise nee. Stein († 1853). Because of her father's numerous transfers, she lived in various cities as a youth and received her schooling partly from private teachers and partly at a secondary school for girls in Magdeburg . After the death of her parents, she moved in with her sister Elvira and published her first novel Eine Partie nach den Externsteinen under the pseudonym Louise Ernesti in 1856 at the Leipzig publisher Kollmann . Due to the success, numerous other novels, short stories and travelogues followed over the years.
From 1863 to 1882 she lived with her sister Elvira on the Gerbermühle in Frankfurt am Main , an old fief of the Humbracht and Holzhausen families , which had belonged to the city patriciate for centuries .
In 1882 she moved to Bad Nauheim because of a heart condition , where she died on October 22, 1891 as a result of an accident. While handling alcohol she suffered extensive burns from a deflagration .
