The writer Ruth Landshoff-Yorck wrote the novel "Roman einer Tänzerin" (1933) based on the life of Lena Amsel. The main character in this novel was named Lena Vogel (in Englisch "Bird") in dependence on her family name Amsel (in Englisch "blackbird"). But the novel was only published 70 years later because Ruth Landshoff-Yorck was Jew and banned from publishing her work in Germany at that time.
