His second wife was Elsa Lowenthal; they married in 1923 and she died in 1936. They had no children togehter but Einstein adopted Elsa's two daughters (Ilse and Margot) by a previous marriage.


Albert Einstein's second wife, Elsa Lowenthal, was his first cousin on his mother's side. Lowenthal also happened to be his second cousin on his father's side

Mileva and Albert also had a girl before their marrigie in 1902 called Lieserl, but gave her up for adoption as they were not yet married and in those days you had to be married before you could have children.

Mileva met Albert when they were studying together at Polytechnic school in Switzerland. Einsteins parents never wished for Albert to marry Mileva as she was not of the same 'social class' but agreed to their marriage when Alberts father, Hermann was on his death bed.

Elsa and Alberts relationship startes when Albert moved to Berlin. Although he was still married to Mileva their realtionship started nearly the first month he moved in.
Einstein and Mileva Marić married in January 1903. In May 1904. Marić and Einstein divorced on 14 February 1919, having lived apart for five years.

Einstein married Elsa Lowenthal (née Einstein) on 2 June 1919, after having had a relationship with her since 1912. She was his first cousin maternally and his second cousin paternally.
