- By the time of her husband's death at Nuremberg, she and her daughter had been reduced to living in a two-room cottage with no running water or electricity; and she, whose gowns had once required multiple closets, now owned only two dresses.
- Hermann Göring named his country house Carinhall after his first wife, while referring to his hunting lodge at Rominten (now Krasnolesye) - the Reichsjägerhof - as "Emmyhall".
- Her husband celebrated their daughter's birth by ordering 500 planes to fly over Berlin (he stated he would have flown 1,000 planes as a salute for a son).
- Adolf Hitler was the best man at her wedding to Hermann Göring. The ceremony took place in the Berlin Cathedral and was one of the Third Reich's biggest propaganda events (10 April 1935).
- In 1948, a German denazification court convicted her of being a Nazi and sentenced her to one year in jail. When she was released, 30% of her property was confiscated and she was banned from the stage for five years.
