Lisettken, whose real name was Lisette Cramer (née Buschhaus), was born on January 26, 1845, in Kierspe and died on May 1, 1907 in Halver, traveled as a peddler with her Kiepe—filled to the brim with goods for daily use—from farm to farm and from town to town.

In her younger years, Kiepenlisettken had also traveled beyond her home region as far as Mainz, Frankfurt, and Einbeck, delivering packages and letters to the men from Schalksmühle and Halver who were serving in the military there. She was known everywhere and was very popular because of her honesty and friendly nature.
