Biography
Berta Diener was born in the family of a manufacturer and studied as an "eldest daughter", that is, she studied to become a "good housewife, wife and mother." In 1898, contrary to the wishes of her parents, Bert married Friedrich Eckstein (1861-1939), a Viennese businessman, literary critic and psychoanalyst. The Eckstins rented a villa in Baden, in which they opened a salon: among their guests were Peter Altenberg , Karl Kraus , Adolf Loz and Arthur Schnitzler .
In 1900, Eckstein-Diener met the wealthy doctor Theodore Beer (1866-1919) who lived on Lake Geneva , and in 1903 an affair began between them. In 1904, Berthe left her husband and son; she began making her first long-term trips to Egypt , Greece, and England . In 1909, the Eckstein divorced. In 1910, Berta gave birth to another son - Roger Diener - whose father was Beer; she gave her son to a foster family. Beer, who lost his professional and social status by a court decision and impoverished during the war, committed suicide in 1919.
