Elisabeth Röckel

According to this register in another flat of the theater lived the famous singer Anna Milder-Hauptmann with her family, who played the title role of Fidelio.

Many sources show that Elisabeth often met Beethoven who fell in love with the beautiful young girl and wanted to marry her.

However, in April 1810 Elisabeth Röckel got an engagement at the theater in Bamberg where she made her stage debut as Donna Anna in Mozart's Don Giovanni and became a friend of the writer E. T. A. Hoffmann.

The German musicologist Klaus Martin Kopitz has suggested that Beethoven wrote his famous Bagatelle No.

The lock of hair is now held at the Ira F Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies, in the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library on the campus of San Jose State University.
