Wilhelm and Fanny Hensel only had one child: Sebastian Ludwig Felix Hensel (1830–1898). Sebastian Ludwig Felix Hensel (1830-1898) married Julie von Adelson and had three children: Cécile Hensel (1858-1928), Paul Hensel (1860-1930), philosopher and Kurt Hensel (1861-1941), mathematician.

I didn't think she liked her brother FELIX.One of my classmates had Ludwig for a middle name.

The portrait of Fanny (left) is by moritz Daniel Oppenheim in 1842.
