Frieda von Richthofen

[Amy]

Yeah, apparently the Richthofen's did move around a lot. An uncle of MvR named Walter von Richthofen emigrated to the US in the late 1800's and settled in Denver. His old abode is still called Richthofen Castle today.

I was somewhat taken back when I read the above quote. I had never heard of a sister named Frieda but thought that perhaps I had just missed something somewhere, Now it seems that the author might have been misinformed or merely assumed Frieda was a sister to Manfred.

Thanks to everyone for their input.

Very interesting. Does anyone know of the fate of Sister Ilse?

she married and is now burried - like two of her brothers Manfred and Bolko - in Wiesbaden.

Check out two books, both offered on ABEBooks.com:
LUCAS, Robert. Frieda Lawrence. The Story of Frieda von Richthofen and D.H. Lawrence.
New York: The Viking Press, (1973)

and

Green, Martin The von Richthofen Sisters: The Triumphant and the Tragic Modes of Love: Else and Frieda von Richthofen, Otto Gross, Max Weber, and D H Lawrence, in the Years 1870-1970
1974 New York

I have not seen either book, and they are a little too far from the subject matter of my aces biographies collection for me to want to add them.

Who did she marry? Was it anyone of importance?

Isn't there a Mount Richthofen (named after Walter)somewhere in Colarado.
