Elsbeth Johanna Irma Baltuttis (Lithuanian: Baltutis; 28 September 1920 — 20 May 1958) was a German singer and entertainer based in Leipzig, Germany.

[citation needed] After training in music during the Third Reich, her singing career took place within the German Democratic Republic after the Soviet occupation of Eastern Germany.

[2] In the early 1950s, she married a doctor named Max Herricht, an important member of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany.

[citation needed] Baltuttis died on May 20, 1958, after falling out of her apartment window in Leipzig.

This speculation was fueled by the post-mortem circumstances: no autopsy was performed, nor was a coroner's inquest held.
