What happened to Einstein´s daughter, Lieserl?

Answer 1

He placed his work over his family, and she, and the history of what became of her were sadly lost, and are unknown.

Answer 2

Lieserl Einstein (late January, 1902 – September, 1903?) was the first child of physicist Albert Einstein and Mileva Marić and, according to some sources, died in infancy. Her actual fate is unknown.

Lieserl was born before her parents married in 1903. From letters exchanged by Albert and Mileva, it is thought that Lieserl stayed with Mileva's family for some time before perhaps being given up for adoption.

Lieserl's existence was unknown to biographers until 1986, when a batch of letters between Albert and Mileva was discovered by their granddaughter. Discussion of Lieserl by the couple ended in 1903, and she was never again mentioned in their correspondence.

Michele Zackheim, in her book on Lieserl, Einstein's daughter, states that Lieserl was mentally challenged at birth, and that she probably died of scarlet fever as an infant.

Thanks for asking this question. I didn't know he had a daughter. I learned something tonight!

The couple's younger son, Eduard Einstein (1910-1965), suffered from schizophrenia and spent most of his life living with his mother. Their elder son, Hans Albert Einstein, however, was a renowned professor of hydraulic engineering at the University of California, Berkeley.
