Elise Averdieck (26 February 1808 – 4 November 1907) was a German social activist, a deaconess, and writer. A friend of Amalie Sieveking, whose charitable work she continued, she is regarded as a figure typical of the Erweckung, the socially active Christian revival sweeping through Germany in the 19th century. The first half of her life she was a teacher, a writer, and a nurse; only in the second half of her life did she become a deaconess and led a small community of like-minded women.

- Elise Averdieck (26 February 1808 – 4 November 1907) was a German social activist, a deaconess, and writer. A friend of Amalie Sieveking, whose charitable work she continued, she is regarded as a figure typical of the Erweckung, the socially active Christian revival sweeping through Germany in the 19th century. The first half of her life she was a teacher, a writer, and a nurse; only in the second half of her life did she become a deaconess and led a small community of like-minded women. Averdieck grew up in a Hamburg where poverty had increased greatly since the beginning of the 19th century, and although there were both state-supported and private initiatives to alleviate the fate of the poor, these efforts were not well coordinated and were frequently based on completely different ideas on what caused poverty, and what it meant. For Averdieck, poverty came from God and was thus a blessing in its own right. Though she considered the experience of poverty to be educational, she did not feel the plight of poverty need not be improved, and among those who, like her, came to social work through Lutheran piety, this was a strong imperative to act.
