About Clara Henriette Maria von Hanstein, Countess of Pölzig

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_von_Hanstein,_Count_of_Pölzig_and_Beiersdorf

Clara married the British shipowner George Acland Ames on 13 July 1854. Their sixth child, Hans, was born on 30 April 1869 in Berlin. Because Ames did not acknowledge Hans as his son, he was given the surname Poelzig. Clara and Ames separated in July 1869, and Clara returned to Pölzig. She lived as a "the young countess" in the Schloss and died 10 years later in Beiersdorf. Hans Poelzig grew up in Berlin and became a world-famous architect and set designer.
