Ludovika Franziska Maria was born into Türheim family, an uradel German noble family originating in Swabia. She was second daughter Josef Wenzel Count von Thürheim (1749–1808) and his wife, Countess Luise Berghe von Trips (1759–1812), sister-in-law of Louis, Landgrave of Hesse-Philippsthal.[1] She is best remembered for her portraits, landscapes, and her memoirs of the Congress of Vienna which have served as important sources on cultural and social history of the Austrian Empire. She maintained close friendships with Andrey Razumovsky, Alexander Ypsilantis, Ioannis Kapodistrias, and Ludwig van Beethoven during her lifetime.[2][3][4][5][6] In 1832, she was married to Charles Thirion (1803–1832), secretary of Prince Razumovsky, who was 15 years younger than Lulu, but the marriage didn't last long, as he committed suicide, eight month later.[7][8]
