Auguste Crelinger

In 1817, Düring married the actor Wilhelm Stich (1794-1824) and had two daughters with him: Bertha (1818-1876) and Clara (1820-1865), both of whom also went to the stage, and two sons, including Gustav (1822-1848), who died of liver disease at the age of 26 in Bombay, East India.

Gebhard Bernhard Carl Blücher von Wahlstatt (1799-1875), a grandson of the famous Feldherrn, was a second lieutenant in the Guard Hussars and had a rendezvous with Auguste Stich on 6 February 1823, as he wanted to say goodbye to her before a long journey.

The relationship with Crelinger enabled the actress to go on educational trips, including to Paris and Saint Petersburg; their house in Berlin became a centre of socialising.

From the estate of the music teacher Clara Groschke, a now lost portrait Auguste Crelinger as the Maid of Orleans (1818) by Friedrich Georg Weitsch came into the Berlin Märkisches Museum in 1925.

She died in Berlin in 1865 at the age of 69 and was buried in the Cemetery II of the Jerusalems- und Neue Kirche in front of the Hallesches Tor there.
