- Katharina "Käte" Müller-Lisowski was a German-born scholar of Celtic literature. She collected and translated Irish fairy tales and folk songs. She married Friedrich Lisowski, a plumber and socialist veteran of World War I with whom she had a son. The whole family participated in a social experiment called the Eden Community, a vegetarian community in Oranienburg, near Berlin, seeking an alternative to modern urban-industrial life. In 1932, she organized an Irish evening of Irish and Danish folk music and poems at Eden. After the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany, the Lisowskis were persecuted because they had turned their home into a meeting place for anti-Nazis. In 1936, Käte and her husband sent their son to live in Ireland, and the next year they managed to follow him.
