Regina Luise Stern was born on January 8, 1885 in Berlin as the daughter of the businessman Georg Hermann Stern and his wife Helene née Friedländer.
In 1909 she married the general practitioner Max Zellner. The couple initially lived on Landsberger Strasse, later on Helmstedter Strasse.
They adopted Stefanie Konstanze, who was born in 1919, and moved into their own house at Bachstelzenweg 17 in Dahlem in 1932.
In 1938, Max Zellner's license to practice medicine was revoked, and after 1939 Max and Regina Zellner had to leave their house and move to Hohenzollerndamm 184 as subtenants.
As part of the factory action, they were arrested and deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp on March 12, 1943 on the 36th Osttransport.
A date of death is not known.
The daughter Stephanie emigrated to Palestine before 1939, married Michael Bernie Bernstein and lived with him in the USA and Canada. In her twilight years they moved to Israel, where Stephanie died in 2012.
