The foundation was announced, at the request of the founder, only after the death of her daughter on August 8, 1857 in Berlin . After the necessary government approval and the formation of a reserve fund, the foundation began its work on July 13, 1859. The St. Georgii Hospital was responsible for the administration of the foundation. The city's magistrate was in charge.

In her honor the city of Magdeburg named a street ( Tismarstraße ) in 1899 .
