About the author
Born on January 24, 1868, in Rühn, Elisabeth von Maltzahn was a German writer, also referred to as Else von Maltzahn. Standard biographical references agree that she died on February 25, 1945, in Gotenhafen.
Library and reference records identify her simply and consistently as a novelist or writer, and surviving editions of her books show that she published historical fiction as well as contemporary novels. Her works remained visible enough to be preserved in projects such as Projekt Gutenberg, which suggests she had a meaningful readership in the German-speaking world.
The readily available sources found here give only a concise outline of her life, so it is safest to present her as a German author whose career is known mainly through bibliographic records and surviving publications rather than through detailed modern biographies.
