- 1.Selon Anne Langenbuch, dans la littérature l'année de naissance de Lotte Schöne est souvent mentionnée comme 1891, parfois aussi 1894. Cependant, dans son dossier de nationalisation, un acte notarié de remplacement du certificat de naissance perdu, 1893 est l’année de naissance (Archives nationales, Fontainebleau, Dossier Nr. 38596 X 45, coté 19770907 art. 88). La date du décès est peut-être le 23.12.1977.
