Maria Eichhorn at the age of 23

The daughter of a chief forester left her parents' home at the age of 16 and worked as a private secretary in Wroclaw and then as an educator in southern Hungary. In 1899 she came to Berlin, where she lived for the following years. She frequented Berlin bohemian circles and appeared as a cabaret artist and diseuse in cabarets such as the “Silver Punch Terrine” or “ Hungry Pegasus ”, where she performed sultry, sensual poetry and “ dirnenlieder ”.

From 1902 she published poetry and prose as well as translations from French under the pseudonym Dolorosa.

She married the writer Wilhelm Fischer (1878–1963). The time of getting to know each other and getting married is unclear, at least the marriage already existed in 1905. His works (“My Path of Sorrows”, “Sadistic in My Paths of Life” and “A Martyr of Women - Novel of a Marriage on a Flagellantist Basis”), which he published under the pseudonyms Wilhelm Fischer vom Thal , Heliogabal and Wilhelm Eichhorn , presumably reflect autobiographical elements of his married life. However, the marriage did not last: after his separation from Maria Eichhorn, Fischer converted to Catholicism in 1908 and documented his conversion in the book "My return from Luther's special teaching to the Catholic Church" (Berlin 1908). At that time, Maria Eichhorn was probably living in Istanbul. After that, their track is lost. The time and place of her death are not known.
