Marie Cohn alias Eddy Beuth was born in Breslau as the daughter of the Jewish technician Isidor Cohn and his wife Frida (née Vogel). In the course of her life she used different names or name variants. For her publications - song texts, articles for magazines and books - she used the pseudonym Eddy Beuth all her life. Like many women of her time, she probably chose an androgynous-sounding pseudonym in the hope of being able to practice her job without prejudice and to gain recognition more easily. The chanson was just beginning to establish itself in Germany when Eddy Beuth started working as a lyricist with the most important composers of the genre. From 1904 Beuth u. a. Chanson texts for the Cabaret Roland and later for the Berlin Chat noir and thus contributed significantly to the success of the composer Rudolf Nelson . She also worked with Siegwart Ehrlich , Ludwig Friedmann and Martin Knopf. Your chansons interpreted u. a. Claire Waldoff , Fritzi Massary and Erika Glässner . In 1907 Beuth wrote the Lachchanson Nach dem Ball for the Viennese cabaret Die Hölle . Eddy Beuth also worked as a screenwriter - her work can be assigned to the expressionist phase of silent film.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Beuth married the theater chief inspector Fritz Sohm. After his death in 1909, she married the publisher and writer Hermann Sack five years later. On May 27, 1918, their marriage was divorced and on March 1, 1919, she married the bank clerk Fritz Magnus Aronheim. From 1906 to 1931 she published in magazines such as Berliner Leben and various publishers.

After the death of her third husband, Eddy Beuth moved to her sister Lisbeth Freund, who was also widowed, in Hamburg in 1930, where they lived together until they died together. The last years of life were overshadowed by anti-Semitic reprisals for the Jewish sisters. In 1938, the laws of the National Socialists finally led to Eddy Beuth being banned from working as a writer. In December 1938, the sisters committed suicide. They are buried in the Jewish cemetery Ilandstrasse in Hamburg ( grid square M 3).

On October 29, 2014, stumbling blocks were laid in front of the house at Eppendorfer Landstrasse 28, where the sisters last lived .
