She took part in the heyday of the Wallner Theater, one of whose outstanding supports she was (1869–1886), and the section of her activity as a performer in fine-humored older roles is referred to as the actual heyday of her acting.

Then she came to the Deutsches Theater, then to the New Theater in Berlin, and wherever this amiable and likeable actress appeared, the success clung to her achievements everywhere, all her performances always gave eloquent testimony to her intelligent conception and the endeavor to subordinate herself to every task she took on. She also performed the smallest role carefully, each bringing it to the most effective advantage.
