Adele Bramson was born in Altona in 1788. She was the daughter of Isaak and Hitzel Bramson. Around 1818, she married the Lüneburg Schutzjuden Philipp Behrens, who came from a long-established Jewish family in Dannenberg and had come to Lüneburg as a young man. Adele moved in with Philipp in Lüneburg. In the years that followed, they had four children together.
Philipp Behrens died in Lüneburg in 1854 as a very successfull merchant. His widow Adele remained in the city, where her youngest child Bernhard also lived with his family. Adele Behrens, née Bramson, died in Lüneburg in 1869, the cause of death being “breast disease” as the synagogue congregation"s death list notes. Like her husband, she was buried in the town"s Jewish cemetery.
