Biography

[edit]

Jellinek lived in Vienna, and married twice.[5] She had an elaborate wedding in 1909 in Nice, on the French Riviera, with Baron von Schlosser. The couple lived in Vienna until World War I, which ruined them.[how?] They had two children; Elfriede (b. 1912) and Hans-Peter (b. 1916).[2] In 1918, she was begging for food in the streets. A little later, leaving her husband and two children, she married Baron Rudolf von Weigl, a talented, but poor, sculptor. She played music and had a good soprano voice. She never shared her father's passion for automobiles and never owned an automobile.[7]

Jellinek died in Vienna, from bone cancer, in 1929, at the age of 39, and was buried in Vienna in the family grave near her grandfather, the former chief rabbi of Vienna, Adolf Jellinek.[8] In 1926, Daimler merged with Benz & Cie; although the company traded as Daimler-Benz, it gave the name "Mercedes-Benz" to its cars to preserve the respected Mercedes brand.
