Countess Sophie von Hatzfeldt ("The Red Countess", 1805-1881) was represented in her divorce war - she brought litigation before 36 courts - by lawyer Ferdinand Lassalle (1825-1864), the founder of the first German workers' party ADAV. One of the founding fathers of social democracy, so to speak.

A SPD'ler of the first hour gets a memorial place in a castle park? It was above all his services as a lawyer for the lady who lived there in a divorce war that earned him this honor. The simple, but pretty, building is not accessible, but you can catch a glimpse of a Lasalle bust.

"... Countess Sophie von Hatzfeldt ("The Red Countess," 1805-1881) was represented in her divorce battle – she litigated in 36 courts – by attorney Ferdinand Lassalle (1825-1864), the founder of the first German workers' party, ADAV. One of the forefathers of social democracy, so to speak.

Whether the two were a couple is still a matter of controversy today. But there is some evidence that this is the case. In any case, Lassalle and the countess, who was 20 years her senior, lived together in Düsseldorf for several years. Part of their extensive correspondence is now even available online.
