Information Wikipedia:
Engagement with Von Racowitza cancelled, to become engaged to Ferdinand Lassalle.
The two men decided to a duel, which left Lassalle dead (it became quite a public affair). Helene married Racowitza, but he died that same year (1865).
Married her drama teacher Siegwart Friedmann in 1868, but they divorced in 1873.
Married Russian aristocrat Sergej von Schewitsch in 1875, after which they emigrated to the United States in 1877. They returned to Europe in 1890, where after 1905 they ran into financial difficulties. After her husband died on 27-09-1911, Helene committed suicide by morphine overdose four days later.
