      her birth certificate from Koblenz states that she has married for the 2nd time in 1932, nr. 44 in Berlin Nikolaussee. She ought to be a widow by then. But to my surprise, Kurt Waas, the man considered to be the first husband, is still alive and he lives till 1948. Did she seperate?

      to make things even more confusing Günther Eben only died in 1961 (Maier, 2015)!

      Röwekamp (2005, p.363) writes that Ilse Eben-Servaes announced on Aug. 18th, 1942 that her surname had changed to Schmelzeisen-Servaes, I presume to the lawyers' chamber (Rechtsanwaltskammer) in Berlin. The Berlin address book for 1942 still lists her as 'Eben-Servaes', in 1943 it's
      'Schmelzeisen-Servaes'. A marriage to some 'Schmelzeisen' is the most likely explanation but none of the three 'Schmelzeisen' men in Berlin is registered under her address so they're unliklely candidates.

      It's an interesting idea that the married G. K. Schmelzeisen (1900-1982) may have been Ilse's husband. Both were successful lawmen, Prof. Schmelzeisen had written his Habilitation thesis about the historical legal position of women in the municipial economy and he lived in Halle/Saale since spring 1942 so wouldn't appear in the Berlin address book.

      So was Ilse a trigamist? Or did she think it looked simply better to present herself as a tragic double-widow than to admit divorce(s)? Divorced once after a few years of marriage can be bad luck. When you're divorced twice after a short time it could lead to the idea that the fault is actually in the personality of the double-divorcee.
