Elfriede's father was a senior civil servant.
In April 1914, Elfriede took her pilot's examination on the Parseval-Luftschiff P VI and in July of that year she gained her pilot’s licence.
Elfriede was not allowed to fly airships during the First World War, so she concentrated on l ecturing about flying. She moved to Berlin after the War. Elfriede then had a guesthouse built on the Island of Ruegen in the Baltic Sea and gave lectures about aviation.
