Elisabeth (Lilli) Deichmann-Schaaffhausen (13 May 1811 – 4 July 1888) was a German aristocrat who became an ophthalmologist and a citizen of Liechtenstein. She was known as a hostess and she managed to study at a university many years before women were allowed to attend.

Life

Deichmann-Schaaffhausen was born in Cologne in 1811.[1] Her father was the German banker Abraham Schaaffhausen [de] and her mother was his second wife Maria Therese Lucie (born de Maes).[2] She was one of the last of their six children.[citation needed] Her mother was active in public life supporting girls' schools and art societies in Cologne.[2]

She married a wealthy banker, Wilhelm Ludwig Deichmann, and in 1853 they moved to a castle near Bonn called Schloss Deichmannsaue [de]. They had eleven children.[3] She owned a number of artworks as a painting of hers by Nicolas-Antoine Taunay and another by Jean-Louis Demarne are known to have been in her collection.[3]

Their home was a salon and the guests included the Crown Prince of Prussia and the composers Clara Schumann, Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms and Max Bruch.[3] She remarkably became an ophthalmologist.

In 1878 she gained the citizenship of Leichtenstein.[3]

Honours

In 1873 she was given the Royal Württemberg Order of Olga[citation needed] and at that time she already had the Cross of Merit for Women and Girls[4]

The violinist and musicologist Wilhelm Joseph von Wasielewski dedicated his 1869 book The Violin and its Masters to "Mrs. Lilla Deichmann née Schaaffhausen ... in grateful homage".[5]

There was a biography and image of her published in 1875.[6] Deichmann-Schaaffhausen died in Bonn in 1888.[1]
