Ella Ungermann

Ella Christoffersen Ungermann (1891–1921) was a Danish stage actress. While working as a secretary, without any formal training she made her debut in April 1909 in Copenhagen's Odd Fellows Palæet in a semi-private performance of Hønsegaarden. After two years at Odense Teater, she moved back to Copenhagen where she was engaged by the Royal Danish Theatre in 1914. Enjoying considerable success for several years, she committed suicide in September 1921, a few days after playing Leonora in Holberg's Det lykkelige Skibbrud.

Early life and education Born in Slagelse on 17 February 1891, Ella Christiffersen Ungermann was the daughter of the baker Valdemar Christoffersen (1859–1937) and Marie Christine Ungermann (1868–1941). In October 1918, she married the painter Albert Emil August Schleppegrell Naur (1889–1973). They had no children.
