Mária Lebstück

She was born into a wealthy Croatian merchant family in Zagreb, and moved to Vienna at the age of 13 to live with her maternal uncle.

In November 1848, the revolution erupted in Vienna, and the seventeen-year-old dressed herself as a man and enlisted in the universities regiment.

In 1853, she returned to Hungary and married a man named Gyula Pasche.

On 15 March 1935, a memorial plaquet was placed on the house of 4 Ujpest Csokonai.

In 1942, she was dramatized in an operetta by Jenő Huszka and László Szilágyi.
