The couple convinced 15 families to be part of a colony, which would be baptized Nueva Germany, [3] And the group left Germany for South America on February 15, 1887.

The colony did not prosper. The earth was not suitable for German cultivation methods, diseases were a scourge, and connections with the colony were slow and difficult.

In 1930, Elisabeth – always nationalist and anti -Semitic, like her husband and unlike her brother – began to openly support the German National Socialist Party. After in 1933 Hitler had taken power, the Nietzsche archive He benefited from financial support and advertising by the government, which Elisabeth reciprocated deeply on the regime the remarkable prestige of Nietzsche’s moral heritage.
